I tow a Ford Edge. Just hook up, no fuse to pull. weights about 3900 pounds.

Reason for switch, I got a very good deal. Now I wonder if I can move the tower to Taurus by using the same equipment

Yes, I know the Escape is not towable as is the Lincoln MKC... (sister car). Nothing wrong with the Taurus but the Edge is a good SUV. I am thinking of going with the sister Lincoln MKX for my next towable SUV.

Anyway, you got what you wanted but still wondering why you said you wanted a SUV and ended up with a sedan.

Safe travels,
MM.

I thought you wanted a SUV? Why didn't you go with the Edge?

We tow a 2014 GMC Acadia . Just pull a couple of fuses and we are good to go.

Edge is a Fusion SUV. Other options include older Honda CR-V, Equinox and badge clones for most model years from the beginning, Saturn Vue when it was a Suzuki and when it was an Equinox, Traverse and badge clones from GMC, Saturn and Buick, and even 4x4 Tahoe/Yukon and Suburban can be towable. If you want smaller, Vibe/Matrix with manual transmission, HHR some model years of Honda Fit cover subcompact or supermini size classes.

Well within spec to be towed as a FROG and besides it will haul 9 comfortable when we get to where we are going. IMHO if ain't got a transfer case it ain't an SUV

I have a 2012 Cadillac SRX. Roomy, comfortable and simple to tow. They are done making the SRX as of the 2016 models so there are quite a few leftovers that are selling way below invoice. I would trade if they would give me a deal on a new one!
