I am looking at the June edition of FMCA's Family Motor Coaching and on page 18 -18, it clearly states that the 2012 Escape & Fusion are NOT towable 4 down. I have a friend with a 2010 model, and after 3 transmissions, he would agree that it is not towable. His friend with the same model is working on transmission # 5. This is why I love my Jeep. Simple, easy, no problems.
