Ford Escape, The Smart Choice.   Opinions Are In! It's no big surprise that I'm an Escape fan. Admittedly, my first few months with my Escape were a challenge. I doubted whether it was the best of choices, solely based on the fact that I had again entered into debt. Nevertheless, it became clear a year ago that the Escape was worth ever penny I spent and still I am impressed. Sometimes to the point of overjoy and sometimes to the point of tears.

Escape Wins Again!   Ford Takes Best Small SUV Award Add this one to the growing list of wins for Ford's versatile 4X4. The Smartmoney is on Escape! The consumer magazine recently named Escape the best of the best in their small SUV comparison test!
Ford happens to strike just the right balance with its popular Escape. It has full-time four-wheel drive (power is directed to the front wheels under most conditions, shifting to all four wheels only when the system detects slippage). But unlike the other four SUVs reviewed, it offers decent towing capacity (up to 3,500 pounds) and a four-wheel-drive lock mode, ideal for mud or ice. More....

Miles Per Tank Of Gas ??? -Bilbo
I can get from 250 to about 300 miles depending on driving conditions with the V6. That is, if I fill up the whole tank and I don't have a hole in it. With these things, the weight of your foot and driving style seems to make a big difference. One side note...

  How To Take Off Liftgate Cover? -ikaika
Can anyone tell me how to take off the cover on the inside of the rear liftgate? I still have to Dynamat Xtreme it and would just like to know how easy/hard it is before I do it. I dont want to break any fasteners you know what I mean? I broke some of the fasteners for the front dorrs and when I went to the Ford dealer for replacements, they wanted... RjTribute: And while some good samaritan is spelling out clear instructions for ikaika re. removing the cover on the inside of the rear liftgate, would they please spell out exactly how to remove the rear bumper. My Tribute suffered a small altercation with a car park garden edging rock when I was backing out from a resort car park after only one glass on wine!
