Slip of the finger - 16 ft. And yes, it was a Scamp.
But I've been talked out of towing with the Prius - it was such a nice thought, though.

Thanks Brian - I was thrilled to see that someone was using a Prius to tow a 19' Escape. If I could rig my existing car to tow the 15' Escape, I'd be closer to owning one. Probably not a good idea....

Wow, Leonard! Maybe I could keep the Prius. Was there any special equipment you added? What kind of tow rig did you use?

And thanks, Anna-Marie. When the Prius gives out, I'll get the Escape.

I'm planning on a 15B, so a little less weight than the 17. I live in the flatlands on the east coast, and the Escape will replace my Prius and will be my main car, though I have a fun little Miata...

I'm thinking about a Ford Escape 2.0L FWD with EcoBoost and a tow package. Rated for 3500 lb. Just thought an Escape towing an Escape would be special.

Mason jars

I do a lot of canning, and just love Mason jars. How are they for storing things in an Escape (aside from heavy and breakable)?

I'm a southern girl! I always use lard. But I make a great cheesecake using bacon fat in the crust and topped with candied bacon.

Hi Donna - Yeah, I've kinda been reconsidering Alaska as a first trip. I might just do the shakedown on the way back to Virginia to pick up the animals. By then, I'll be more comfortable towing, and...

I am soooo looking forward to it! Probably more than a year off, looking at the production schedule for 15s. House doesn't go on the market until March, so no movement until then. Meanwhile, I'm...

I think I've found my tow. A Nissan Xterra 4x4 rated to tow 5000 lbs. with factory-installed towing package. And the price is right, too!

Thanks Tim and Julie. Weight was the big consideration, but aesthetically and practically, the modifications that were offered were what sold me on the Escape.

I've looked at the ratings for the Jetta in Europe - same car - and it has a tow rating for 1400 kilos. I think it's not rated in the US for legal reasons (CYA).

Maybe I'm being overcautious - but I'm looking at a Jetta Sportswagen TDI, which isn't even rated for towing (in the US). Figured Can-Am could do some work to make the tow safer.
