02 Escape towing question
I've got an 02 Escape, 6 cyl. 4WD with 92k miles. My question is, can I put a hitch onto the back of this truck and pull a 2500# boat (trailer included). I know it can pull 3500# with a factory installed hitch but how about an after market hitch?(A class 3 hitch) Is this a good idea?
