I'm looking at the Ford Escape. Tow rating is high enough. Any opinions on the Ford Escape Hybrid?

I was thinking about the Dodge Nitro? It has a 5,000 capacity.

Any experiences?

This puts a bad taste in my mouth with Jeep because I only had 60,000 miles on the vehicle. I had the engine oil cooler installed at a dealer, which is really the only engine component that makes the Jeep able to tow (other than the hitch and wiring assembly).
