hi
I currently own a 2004 Explorer XLT.I have always loved my Explorers,I have had 3, but was thinking about down sizing to save on gas. I am in sales and drive over 30k a year.I was thinking about getting an Escape. It should get abput 4 to 5 mpg better that my Explorer which would save me $100 to $150 a month in gas.I do need it for towing.In the winter I snowmobile,the two sleds and trailer are about 1500 lbs.I also have a boat a Seayray 185.The boat wheigh 2700lbs and with the trailer I am sure its over 3000lbs.. I rareley tow it any more since we live on the water. Last years The only time it was towed was 15 miles each way to and back from storage.
Has any one towed with an escape? who does it do?
