According to the information I found on page 177 of an online copy of the 2008 Ford Escape owners manual, FWD models can be towed with a tow dolly only. AWD models must be trailered. Only manual transmission-equipped models can be flat towed, 4 wheels down. In your particular case, you will need to use a tow dolly to prevent damaging the transmission.
We offer a Roadmaster Tow Dolly you might be interested in, part # RM-2050-1.
