I have a class III drawtite on mine. I also pull around 3500 pounds with it. So kinda over kill but it was cheaper than the class II. I picked it up around 100 bucks off etrailer.com

i am going to put a hitch on my escape and i too think the factory hitch looks like it's max load would not pull a fly off a bears butt.
Am only planning to tow the small u-haul trailer for now so was only looking at a class 1. Any one have any figures on what weight the escape can draw without the need for a tranny cooler??
Thankx

Escape can tow up to 2,000lbs without the tow package and tow up to 3,500 with the tow package.
