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?

Well of course I was going to get the towing package, the weight you can pull without one is only 1500 pounds! And my friend who had a towing package installed said it was $200. I realize I would need more than that since he has a bigger TV than I do, but even if I had to put a few grand into it, it would be worth it for me.
