Ford Escape 2008 Towing Guide PDF Manual

For 2008, the Escape offers an impressive combination of features and capabilities that make riding in this SUV smoother and more refined than ever before. Escape’s standard Duratec 23-2.3L I-4 engine – offered in XLS and XLT series – provides 153 hp and up to a 1,500-pound towing capability.* With more standard safety features than ever, the Escape is well-equipped with AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™) (a) (not available on Escape Hybrid), 4-wheel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Tire Pressure Monitoring System and the Personal Safety System® and Safety Canopy® System now standard on every series.

Designed to help in real-world situations, such as making emergency maneuvers or driving on slippery or uneven surfaces, this system features a vehicle-roll motion sensor in addition to AdvanceTrac’s ABS, traction control and yaw control. RSC uses the sensor to directly measure the ehicle’s
roll-rate at least 100 times every second, which helps determine when and how the system will apply individual brakes and modify engine power to help keep all four wheels firmly planted
