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.
Either remove the driveshafts, or you either trailer it or put it on a rollback.
I was looking at the 2000 Ford Windstar Owner Guide and it shows : Trailer towing requires the optional trailer tow electrical package " may require use of an additional medium duty trailer tow option package "
A 2010 Ford F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package can tow a class-leading 11,500 pounds.
A Kia Rondo equipped with a V6 can tow up to 2000 lbs with relative ease. It is a popular choice as tow vehicle for people with small tent trailers, hard tops, and for small boats. They are good value for the money, comfortable, and efficient.
Max trailer weight is 8100 pounds.

Well, if wired trailer lights means:you wired a trailer/tow harness into your factory harness. There is only 2 answers that come to mind. 1. You've blown a fuse. 2. You wired your trailer/tow harness in wrong. So... If you possibly wired it in wrong, you'll need to start over again. The best place to start is to pull out the trailer/tow harness & put the Escape's harness back together like it was before you started. Then check all lights & fuse's. If all's well, this is the color code you'll need to use to hook-up your basic 4-wire trailer/tow harness. Key Code: The left side of the code is your trailer/tow harness. & the right side of the code is your escape's harness. YELLOW-to-YELLOW (pass. sd. stop-turn light) GREEN-to-GREEN (driver sd. stop-turn light) BROWN-to-BROWN (park/running lights) WHITE-to-WHITE/w-Black stripe (ground). This should git you happly towing in no time. (P.S. there should be a tow wire kit avalible for your escape. Call your ford dealer for the part no#. With the part no# you can git more cheaply elsewhere.)
