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.
If your reply was aimed toward my above reply , let me clear it up a bit ,,,,,,, I should of put a rolling eyes smilely :R at the end of the frontal area comment .,,,,, If you go back into the thread I expressed my feelings on that rule of towin'.
challeno - Not at all. I just found some published info and wanted to share. :)
