Can you tow a pop up camper with a 2014 ford escape that does not have the tow package?
I bought it brand new it is a "S" model. So it does not come with the towing package. I recently installed a hitch receiver and my wife wants a pop up camper. My only question is weather i can tow a pop up camper or not. Please no troll posts
There are campers that you can tow with a small truck or SUV. Refer to your owner's manual for towing capacities (this will depend on engine/transmission options). Obviously, since your Escape didn't come with the towing package, you will have to have a hitch and wiring installed.
Your 2014 should be the same specs as a new one - you can tow up to 1500 lbs. I doubt you'll find a pop up that light, so probably not, but check. Do not go over the manufacturers recommendations.
If it's brand new, I'm sure the owner's manual came with it. Open it up and READ it. It will tell you if you safely can or not.
It depends upon the weight of the camper. Back in the 1980's I occasionally towed a 1000 lb pop up camper with a 1983 Subaru wagon and its 1.8L which had a carburettor, not fuel injection, only had 73 hp. It was only rated to tow 1000 lbs. One time towing it in a heavy downpour there was so much water on the highway that the front wheels started to spin and I had to use 4WD (engaged with a lever, not full time).
- I have a '99 Ford Ranger with the 4x4 Off Road package. Does this include a heavy duty suspension? It's also a 6cyl 4.0 liter. I need to know because I need to change my rear parking brake cable and it specifies with or without heavy duty suspension. How would I know?
- 1998 3.0L 4x4 Manual Ford Ranger towing 1500lbs with tow package? I'm not too worried about it on the freeway, how will it do on moderate uphill road? I want to buy a boat and take it up to the lake. The boat I'm looking at weighs about 900 lbs, so I'm making a liberal estimate with trailer, gear, and gas.
- Should I trade my 2014 Nissan Maxima base for a 2011 Ford Mustang Base sports package? It would be a even trade. The Mustang has the Mustang sports package with includes pipes, and a upgraded engine. Any suggestions. I would be trading a 2014 for something that is older, but better. My maxima has a sunroof, and power seats, and the Mustang doesn't.
- If you have enough money, can you have a new classic car built? Like can I pay to have ford build me a 1970 Mustang? Lets say I don't want to buy an old car and restore it, I want a 1970 but straight off the factory line. Can you have a car built with the old style frame, engine, trans, etc?
