That and most CVT transmissions don't seem to be able much of anything.

Bumpers Cut
CB is mounted and functional
Emergency Flashers are installed, two in the grille, two on the back of the rack.
Oh, and that's a Mishimoto CVT Cooler poking its head out under there.

Stopping is the tricky bit

I control the horizontal and the vertical
The man speaks the truth. :iagree:
The physics of towing and stopping scales up and down.
I was helping someone get repairs done to a large 5th wheel trailer. I was driving the tow rig, a large 4x4, club cab, Ford F-something-50. I was driving 45 mph and the traffic light in front of me turns yellow.
I made the decision to stop and applied the brakes. The 5th wheel trailer vetoed my braking action and simply pushed me right through the intersection on a now red light.
After changing my shorts, I realized the trailer brakes had failed and physics ruled the moment.
When towing with my Escape, I like to keep the loads below 80% capacity. At that, or above, I would insist on trailer brakes.
Good luck

Just got my Freespirit Recreation offroad trailer (Timbren suspension) and extreme series large tent..Tows like a dream! I am so thankful I have a turbo and a pro tuned engine.

How well does stopping work for you?

Its so light I barely notice it when I stop. No issues at all stopping and I forget that I am towing most of the time, the Timbren suspension is amazing.
