How to Tow 2017 Ford Escape Behind Motorhome
Question:
Would like to tow my 2017 Ford Escape behind my 2012 Ford coachman motorhome. Can I flat tow this vehicle ? What will I need?

According to the online owner's manual you can use a tow dolly to tow a 2WD 2017 Ford Escape behind a motorhome but if you have a 4WD model then you need to tow it with all 4 wheels off of the ground. I do recommend verifying this in your copy of the owner's manual.
If you have the 2WD model and you need a tow dolly I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045 because it comes with disc brakes, a steerable axle for better cornering, and the ability to fold both the tongue and the ramps so you're able to reduce the overall length from 133" down to 67" for storage whether you're at home or at the campsite.
Attached is a review video for you to check out.
