Can you flat tow a Ford EcoSport?

We bought a new 2022 Ford EcoSport this year, and I’d like to bring it along on our family vacation this fall. We’ll be taking the RV. Can I flat tow the car behind it?

No, you cannot flat tow a Ford EcoSport—but you can use a dolly to tow some earlier model years that aren’t equipped with AWD or four-wheel drive. Another option is to rent a trailer to haul your car, but it can be a little pricey.
Trying to flat tow a vehicle that shouldn’t be flat towed can cause serious damage to your transmission and powertrain. You’ll be on the hook for expensive repairs and may even void your vehicle warranty.
