That would be a long trip! Check on the weight of the trailer that the Escort is rated to pull. Definitely, you would need to pack light and put the heavier stuff up front of the trailer. It might be easier in the long run to pay for a truck and tow the car--or to hire a freight company to ship the items across country.

Can a 1999 Escort pull a UHaul 'Sport Trailer' about 1700 miles?

No ask UHaul - you can bet that their lawyers have given them guidelines as to what cars can adequately pull the trailer. Their advertising says that basically any car can pull it. The main question should be what your hitch is rated for. The 1999 Ford Escort officially can only pull 1000lbs (see owners manual). So the answer really depends on 2 things - whether the loaded trailer will weigh more than 1000lbs and how comfortable you are exceeding that limit assuming that your trailer hitch is rated for more than 1000lbs. I am fitting my 1999 Escort wagon with a 2000lb hitch for pulling a small pop-up tent trailer this week, so have nothing further to report on the little car's ability to pull a trailer weighing slightly more than 1000lbs up long grades, etc. A few things to consider when towing a trailer: - go slow - leave lots of extra room to stop - use lower gears on hills and grades to reduce likelihood of engine overheating - turn off air conditioning on uphill grades Something for you to consider.
