If you believe Ford's published capacities, then with a 300LB hitch receiver capacity(Ford Escape Towing Guide pg2 and only 30sqft frontal limitation(2008 Ford Escape Owners Manual pg176, I could only go with a PopUp that weighs less than 2300Lbs. Most TT's have a frontal area around 60sqft. A 300Lb receiver hitch only supports a trailer of 300x7.7 = 2310Lbs.
That is why I've decided on a teardrop just for travel and a Vibe (that someone else will tow to a permanent spot for me) to live in when I'm not travelling. I am already getting overwhelmed and frustrated enough to the point where I dont want to chance it and I will just stick with a teardrop since I know I can handle that.
