We purchased a motor home and had plans to flat tow the 2009 Escape we have behind it. The manual states that it is suitable for this. The mileage is at 150,000 and a new transmission was installed at 105,000 miles by the local Ford dealer. Before we installed a tow plate and dragged it down the road I am hoping to get advice on whether this is wise. Several on line sources refer to burning up the transmission if this vehicle is flat towed. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.
