2025 Ford Escape Towing Capacity

Having considered the basic specifications for each of the 2025 Ford Escape engine options, let’s now turn our attention to actual performance capabilities, like towing. As a compact SUV, the Ford Escape is a relatively light vehicle with its estimated base curb weight ranging from 3,273 pounds to 3,880 pounds. So even though you can push the Ford Escape towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds with the Class II Trailer Tow Package, anything above that isn’t considered safe. Check out what each 2025 Ford Escape engine is capable of below:

1.5L EcoBoost® I-3 Engine

• Maximum Towing Capacity: 2,000 pounds

2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 Engine

• Maximum Towing Capacity: 3,500 pounds (requires Class II Trailer Tow Package)

2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Hybrid engine

2025 Ford Escape MPG Rating & Fuel Economy

Finally, let’s wrap up with the available fuel economy figures for the 2025 Ford Escape. Unfortunately, neither the OEM nor the EPA has released concrete mpge figures for the Plug-in Hybrid Escape so we can’t give you anything definitive on that matter. That said, considering its status as a PHEV, you can expect its fuel economy figures to be as efficient, if not more so, than the available figures you’ll see below:
