Learn More About 2020 Ford Escape Performance

There’s no doubt that the Ford Escape towing capacity is impressive, but this small SUV can’t manage such a giant feat of power all on its own. Check out some of the equipment and performance features that provide help along the way:

• All-Wheel Drive Disconnect: This system can sense when all-wheel drive is not necessary and automatically disables the rear driveline so that full power can be sent to the front wheels.
• Selectable Drive Modes: If you need to tow during poor weather conditions, the Escape provides enhanced control and peace of mind with selectable drive modes that include Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand.
• AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control): If your SUV starts to slip or you lose control of steering, this system makes the necessary corrections to help you regain control.
• Trailer Sway Control: It can be difficult to prevent a trail from swaying when you’re focused on the road ahead; Trailer Sway Control makes it easier by restabilizing and correcting detected sway.
