We have NO problems with the dual Escapes!!
have been up in the Rockies...down to Yellowstone and Yosemite..
We are within our limits for the GVWR and we do have the front box and dual propane tanks--I have taken some unused stuff out of the Escape trailer cupboards--we have the Small Weber BBQ and a portable propnae firepit in the back of the Escape truck...sometimes we take our folding bikes too.
We do gear down on hills but slow and steady wins the race..
When we get another vehicle I woud like another Escape or a vehicle like it..
I would LOVE the new 5th wheel--but no truck to tow it--and I'd rather retire in a couple years than work to pay for new truck and trailer...
Such a big and enjoyable up grade from our Boler..

Thanks for your comment Amirie: we were a little skeptical about the Escape towing the Escape, but Rease swayed us with "no problem". With your live time experience, how has that worked for you?
