I think what kills that Escape pulling the Coachman is the frontal area. The R-pod should pull much easier being more aerodynamic. It would be sad if the car could not pull its rated weight without overheating. So much for those new SAE towing standards....
Im sure there are ways to keep it cooler. My buddy has a jeep that runs hot towing a living lite.. He hooked an aftermarkey unit to put it in tow haul mode as his jeep did not have that.
Also he got a bigger fan and forced it to highspeed.
He is looking into a bigger radiator..
