Why won't my truck beep anymore?

I drive a ford 2008 escape that I keep in good condition. Usually when I hit the lock button on my keys twice the light flash and I ll hear a beep. It did it earlier. But just now when I went to lock my doors the lights flshed but no beep? I don't know why or what I did. I thought maybe on of my doors was open, so I unlocked and went and made sure every door was locked. Yep all locked and still didn't beep. Very confused on why can someone help!

Can you increase tow capacity on a crossover SUV?

I have a 2015 ford escape with a 2.0 liter eco-boost i4 engine. The towing capacity is 2,000lbs. I ask is there any way to pump that number up a bit? And what does rowing capatcity reall mean? If i tried towing something that was 2100lbs would the rig just not budge?

What car should I get?

I bought myself a 2006 Ford Escape in 2012. It was my first car and I loved that thing as it was awd and had a sunroof. 5 years later I'm still driving it and it has close to 300k miles I've began to fix everything on this car I'm spending at least 500 a month fixing things and I'm thinking it's time for a new car. Not sure what to get though I'm single and 23 I work a full time job and occasionally I have to haul people around. I don't need a SUV but I'd prefer one and awd is not necessary as it doesn't snow enough in southern Ohio. Should I just get another Escape?
