It totally depends on the weight being pulled. Your owners manual will tell you how much weight your Escape can pull, you need to have an idea of the weight you are pulling.
It depends on the size of the tent trailer and how the Escape it outfitted. A 2009 Ford Escape with a class III hitch/towing package and a V6 is rated to tow up to 3500 lbs, which is plenty to hall most pop-up campers/tent trailers, although there is such a variety in size among tent trailers that it is possible to exceed this. An escape with a I-4, and without the towing package but with an add on after market hitch can't haul nearly as much and you might be hard pressed to find a tent trailer that you can haul. So basically you need far more information to know if your Escape can haul a camper or not.
Prices for a small U-Haul trailer vary depending on the size of the trailer, the distance it will travel, and the length of time that it will be in use. The flat rate for a small one is about $14.95 without travel distance.
Know the size of the trailer and what you plan to haul. you want one that will cover cargo as well.
Buy a kit at Wal-Mart or U-Haul comes with instructions. The U-Haul kit requires you to splice into the tail light wires. These types of kits work but if a wire frays and grounds out will melt the control module that comes with the kit. Allegedly the T-Connector kit can be used on the Escape but someone else will have to answer how that works or if its feasible.

Go to a U-Haul dealer they have the wiring jig you'll need.
is the tow haul light flash when trailer is plugged in/ if so this means you have a bad connection. usually this is fixed by pushing the plug in more securely . this can also be caused by a bad ground between vehicle and trailer at the towball. easiest way to fix this is to add a ground wire to trailer plug

It all depends on the size and quality of your dump trailer! If you have a old or worn out dump trailer, odds are it won't be able to haul as much as a new and unused one.
