Hows it going everyone. I am new to this tread so I am hoping for some advice on towing.
I currently own a 2012 Ford Escape limited V6 AWD with a towing package on it. My max towing is rated at 3,500lbs.
My question is, how close can I push this weight limit? I have been so close to pulling the trigger on boats in that 3,100 and 3,200 dry weight range, but am nervous with how close the weight is.
I have a 8 minute drive to the boat ramp with no real hills. Really the only hill I will face is the launch out.
What do you all think? Am I safe or do I need to wait and get something a little bigger? Any help is greatly appreciated!
