That's close to "track", not "wheelbase", but even then it's not the standard track dimension (which is between tire centres). Escape doesn't publish this dimension - it's standard for motor vehicles but usually not provided for trailers.
With the current vertical-wall body design the tire sidewalls are pretty close to widest part of the trailer, so sidewall to sidewall is closer to the overall width given in the specs (which has always been 84" for the 19') for the current design and it was for the earlier design... now a few inches less than the overall body width.

Not quite. The change was in 2016 (early 2016 units are the older shape, later 2016 are the newer shape), and the overall width didn't change. The new shape has vertical sides, so with the same width at the beltline the top and bottom are about 4" wider than the old shape. The axles were lengthened (increasing the width across the tires) by the same amount.

All years of Escape 19' (and 21', and 5.0TA) are tandem axle trailers. All years of 17' (and 13', 15', and 5.0) are single-axle trailers.
