A 2018 Ford Escape cannot be flat towed. If you have the FWD, you can tow it using a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. You will also need a 7-way connector like # PK12706 for the wiring of this dolly that is already present.

If you have the 4WD, it must be towed on a trailer with all 4 wheels off the ground.
