01' Escape Off Road 2

Escape strutting its stuff on some Michigan trails

[@trevor1753]

Love my 05. Easily one of my favorite vehicles I've owned.

[@ramper50]

Now go up!! :D

[@gosth81]

Lol

[@antoniojmonetti]

The new ones like every compact suv aren’t like this anymore. These had a higher suspension and 4x4 wheel drive.

[@grabtheskillet]

the 2013 one has "intelligent 4wd" that kicks in automatically when you need it but the car doesnt have that much offroad capabilities

[@xsilver9500x]

I love the Escape!

[@tyronesmith3812]

@Theophila Muhoza Your daughter does. The escape is what I drive her around in

[@grabtheskillet]

@Theophila Muhoza lmfao the new ones are mostly turbo 4 cylinders that make almost 250 hp

[@critical_awareness7587]

​@theophilamuhoza8841these older models are on truck chasis 😂😂😂 you cant compare the older ones to these new models... totally different suspension, drive train and clearance. These have truck clearance. I take mine on serious 4x4 roads that make inexperienced drivers in lifted vehicles, tremble. Cars cant do what this thing does. But you would know if you owned or drove one.

[@Garbear777]

Did that thing really just go down hill!?! 💥

[@ashe999]

My 03 escape has been places that make jeeps shudder

[@austin6746]

I wish I would have recorded half of the things I did to mine. These can take a serious beating

[@critical_awareness7587]

I am here to agree. Major 4x4 roads in my stock 2002 fwd. I LOVE this vehicle. And i only have 2 all terrain tires, and THEY ARE on the back! The escape is really incredible for what it is and what is capable of.

[@Pendragon501]

Anything can go down a hill. Now go up it.

[@victoryepik1950]

It quite surprised that these old crossovers can keep up with jeeps and land cruisers

[@chilledboost1982]

HELL YESSS!!!!!!

Crazy american! Like!!

[@perceive8159]

Unless you had the manual transmission early escape version with the manual switch on/off 4x4 offered only a few years, no point in any serious off-road activity, the automatic didn’t have any slow speed gear range ratios going for it , at least the standard offered more down hill crawl in first where as the automatic meant using the breaks always. The automatic version maybe uphill benefits and high ground clearance, the escape was never really developed for serious off-road activity the gearing just wasn't there. The high ground clearance is what the escape had going for it and good interior space.

[@transilvaniak8485]

I am looking into purchasing one as an all rounder work horse, l read is a reliable vehicle and has that no BS dash with lots of room for tools. The other option would be an older Cr-v or Rav 4... but the looks of the Mav attracts me more. Is it a good choice?

@@dildofaggins731 - I have a 2005 with 205k miles and a 2006 with 191k miles, not perfect but still run well, minor repairs that I do myself. Some serious rust issue though due to MN winters.

[@asiandrag0n]

@@dildofaggins731 depends on who u bought it from n what services they did on it. My 06 escape hybrid has almost 202k miles n at this point the only issues are tiny liquid leaks. Honestly if u take good care of any car, it’ll run forever.

[@starmember132]

@@asiandrag0n Same here with a 2001 mazda tribute. Leaks have been solved. No problems right now. Only issue is ac compressor needs replacement. Still running good and strong at 170,000 km

[@asiandrag0n]

@@starmember132 the location history of each car is also a important factor. Mine has been in WA state since new, so there’s literally no rust at all. All in all, if u do ur homework, you’ll find a great used escape that’ll last u forever.

[@starmember132]

@@asiandrag0n Mine too. Specially the zone where I live it’s humid, and there’s no salt at all. No rust problems in mine. For being a 20+ yo car, it’s in great shape. I’m considering selling it because I don’t use it anymore.

[@Viperlover-cw2qx]

awd or fwd?

[@paulcondie2520]

He escaped! Lol impressive

[@americunuck]

Where in Michigan?

[@danielhector5492]

Buenas noches me gustaria saber que caja de cambios de velocidad se le puede adaptar a las Ford escape 2001 4por 2 2.0 gracias

[@nevinmckayepp4642]

Steve dose your Escape have a lift kite on it?

[@p3outdoors]

Yes. It has a Boondox 3" lift and 245/75r16 tires. It has been lifted for over 100,000 miles. Has served me well.

[@user-rl8yp6it7s]

уета, вот если бы заехал туда

[@neoblackwolf69]

Use the 2017 model.

[@OTK_CONTENT_CLEARS]

lol nice

[@user-zj3dc6iu4w]

Нечего необычного. Седан так сможет

[@asiandrag0n]

My 06 escape hybrid is better than the new escapes change my mind.

[@p3outdoors]

The Gen 1 & 2 were good little SUVs. My favorite one was my '01 4 cylinder stick with 4wd. Good MPG, fun and good off road. Took me on many adventures

[@asiandrag0n]

@@p3outdoors I agree. My hybrid tho forces me to drive slow sometimes cause i like to drive on the electric motors like im in a tesla lmao. Mine also has 4wd which is great. Are they going up in value tho? Cause i got a carfax for mine saying it has a retail value of a bit over 5k.

[@p3outdoors]

Not sure. Maybe the hybrids are. Here in Michigan the older ones are slowly rusting away.

[@asiandrag0n]

@@p3outdoors I'm in WA state, I hope mine isn't lol. In this day n age, im tryna make mine run for a while. Just spent $800+ on transmission n engine(gasket/oil leak inc.) service. At 202k miles, its not in the best condition known to man, but its goin strong n still no engine light.

[@silverse5]

My 13 escape i can guarantee is better change my mind lol
