It truly craps all over Escape, don’t know why Ford even bothers with it…
The Bronco Sport SUV may be worth a shot too…

As much as I dislike Thailand Specials, the Maverick appeals to me because of the Ecoboost engine and the rego discount on utes.
Ignoring our market for the Maverick is an absolute joke given we have a fetish for dual cab utes.
You could slot it in under Ranger in that $30K-$50K price range.

The Maverick can tow 2,000 lb (910 kg) standard, with an optional upgrade to 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) when equipped with the optional EcoBoost engine, all-wheel drive, and 4K Tow Package option (which includes more robust cooling for the engine and transmission, a trailer brake controller and lower axle gear ratios)

I don't even have a trailer but sign me up for the 4K tow package, lower final drive ratios, 200KW+ and an 8sp auto, this thing would rip.
