I just verified that the 2008 six cylinder Escape CAN tow up to 3500#. I'm not sure why folks are telling you 2000# when the Ford engineers designed it for more.
the Escape without towing package is only rated for 2000#. with TP it is rated for 3,500. that is why.
now I don't know what is included in that towing package but the value of that vehicle is $10-14,000 IIRC. how much will she have to dump into it to make it with towing package vs. trading it off and getting a more capable vehicle. perhaps even another Escape with TP?
