Need to Tow? Consider the 2019 Ford Escape Titanium
With one of the highest towing capacities in its class, the 2019 Ford Escape is a gutsy compact SUV. Most vehicles in its class, including the base trim for the Escape, can only pull a maximum of 1,500 pounds, while the Escape can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Keep reading to learn why you should consider the top-of-the-line Titanium trim for all your towing needs.
Tow Package
Although there are four trims available, the 2019 Ford Escape only offers the 2.0L EcoBoost Class II Trailer Tow Package with the Titanium trim. This package includes sway control and an auxiliary transmission oil cooler. When trailer sway is detected, the system brakes or reduces torque to keep the vehicle and trailer under control. Sway detection will get you safely to where you’re going.
Additional Traction
This vehicle comes standard with all-wheel drive, but you can upgrade for four-wheel drive. Pairing the tow package upgrade with the Intelligent four-wheel-drive system will give you the added benefit of traction and security when towing. And if you’re pulling a heavy trailer, it’s imperative that you can maintain control.
Powerful Engine
Exclusive to the Titanium trim is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that packs 245 horsepower. Combined with the tow package, this engine helps the vehicle pull up to 3,500 pounds.

3 Reasons You’ll Want to Buy the 2020 Ford Escape
Ever since the Ford Escape was first introduced for the 2001 model year, it’s been a driver favorite. For the 2020 model year, Ford is releasing the Escape with some exciting new features. Let’s talk about some of the features drivers can look forward to.
- Redesigned Exterior
The exterior of the 2020 Escape is longer, lower, and wider than previous models, providing a more dynamic experience while still maintaining the ruggedness that the Escape is known for. One stunning exterior feature is the panoramic vista roof that will allow drivers to bring the outside in. The Escape’s new exterior is truly refreshing.
- Redesigned Interior
The 2020 Escape’s interior gets an update as well. The 60/40 second-row seats come equipped with an all-new sliding feature allowing for 40.7 inches of legroom. With the seats folded down, you’ll have access to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space. The 2020 Escape provides plenty of room for family, friends, and fun.

3 Reasons to Upgrade to the 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor
If you’re in the market for a new pickup truck, you should consider the 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor. The Raptor is the performance version of the classic F-150, with several features that make it well worth the upgrade. Let’s discuss some of those features.
- Power
While the standard F-150 is known for being a powerful truck, the 2019 Raptor gets an extra boost from high-output twin-turbo, intercooled DOHC 24-valve, 3.5-Liter EcoBoost engine. Combined with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Raptor has a massive output of 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque.
- Performance
With beadlock-capable wheels, the 2019 Raptor can tackle even more terrain than the standard F-150. The beadlocking technology keeps the tires clamped to the wheels, allowing you to air down the tires for activities like rock crawling. Another feature that allows you to tackle any terrain is the Raptor’s Fox Live Valve Shocks. The shock system automatically adjusts suspension damping depending on the terrain and your driving style.
- Style
The 2019 Raptor features colors and packages not available on the standard F-150. Exterior color options include the stunning Performance Blue, Velocity Blue, and Agate Black. The Blue Accent package includes Recaro front seats with enhanced bolstering in the seat back and cushion. All of the seating features Rhapsody Blue Alcantara seat inserts, while the cabin is accented with carbon fiber appliques.
These are just some of the reasons to upgrade to the 2019 Raptor. Consider taking a test drive so you can experience it yourself.
3 Reasons to Get a Ford Taurus While You Can
All good things come to an end. With a run spanning four decades, the Ford Taurus finally leaves the Detroit automaker’s lineup in 2019. However, this shouldn’t be met with tears and somberness. The 2019 Ford Taurus ends on a beautiful cadence, making it a top sedan for buyers this year. Here are just a few reasons to get the Taurus while you still can.
- Superb Safety Features
With an array of driver-assist safety features, the 2019 Ford Taurus earns a perfect five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. At the heart of this rating are several cutting-edge systems designed to keep an eye out for other motorists and limit distractions. Highlights include a reverse sensing system, a blind-spot information system with cross-traffic alert, a lane-keeping system, and active park assist.
- Exceptional Comfort
The Ford Taurus becomes a luxury car in 2019, offering some of the best comfort options in the industry. No matter what the weather’s like outside, you’ll stay comfortable thanks to leather-trimmed seating, a heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats, and heated outboard rear seats.
- Three High-Powered Engines
If you put a premium on performance, the 2019 Taurus delivers with three engine options. Choose from a 240-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-four, a 3.5-liter V-6 with 288 horsepower, or the thunderous 3.5-liter turbocharged V-6 that dishes out 365 ponies for a ride that borders on sports-car performance.
The American preference of crossovers might have been the Taurus’s undoing, but with a final statement, the sedan will be remembered rather than forgotten.
2 Reasons the Ford Transit Endures
Staking a 57 percent share in the van segment in the United States, the Ford Transit is the best-selling van in the country. With both commercial and consumer applications, the Transit has remained a stalwart in the industry. So what makes the Ford Transit so attractive to buyers?
- Upfit Friendly
One of the most outstanding features of the Ford Transit is its easy customization. Whether you’re an electrician, a plumber, a florist, or a delivery person, the Transit can be upfitted with shelving, drawers, and other compartments. Not only does this save you money on customization costs, but it also improves the organization and practicality you need.
- Loads of Passenger and Cargo Space
Whether you need a family-hauler or a new vehicle for your business, the Ford Transit has loads of passenger and cargo space. Ample space in the Ford Transit Connect allows you to haul up to seven passengers or 167.1 cubic feet of cargo. For commercial applications, the Ford Transit Passenger Van accommodates up to 12 passengers with plenty of legroom and headroom.
The Transit Cargo Van comes with three roof heights and three body styles to accommodate all of your needs. With up to 445 cubic feet of storage volume, you’ll always have enough room for all the necessities.
With an amazingly simple yet versatile interior, tons of cargo and passenger space, and the reliability that only Ford can offer, it’s no surprise why the Ford Transit rightly nabs its place at the top of the van market year after year.
