You better go to the dealer and read the owners manual. I think Ford changed their mind about flat towing. I know they say the 2012 and 13 Escapes are not towable 4 down.

The Edge has been flat-towable since it was introduced, and as far as I know there has been no change of heart by Ford concerning it. It uses a different transmission than the Escapes that had a problem. I know a couple of folks who have towed theirs as much as 50k miles.

I tow a 2011 Ford Edge AWL and the only issue is the battery drains by the end of the day. However, Ford has agreed to pay for a Toad-Charger and install it to address the this issue.
