I have a 2004 Ford Escape with a 5-speed manual transmission. Can it be flat towed or will I need to use a dolly?
ANSWER: Hi John thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
Yes, a 2004 Ford Escape with a manual transmission whether it be 4 Wheel Drive or 2 Wheel Drive can be flat towed with a Tow Bar. When towing you should limit your maximum speed to 55 miles per hour. There are also no limits on the distances that can be driven in one day.
a 2004 Ford Escape with an automatic transmission cannot be flat towed.
Luckily you have chosen a vehicle that can be safely flat towed. Just to clarify for our visitors who are thinking about towing a vehicle behind their RV; using a Tow Bar is just one of the ways to tow a vehicle behind your RV. There are other methods for towing a vehicle behind your RV, so you can pretty much choose any vehicle to take on your next RVing adventure.
