2014 Ford Escape Titanium Review, Walkaround, Exhaust & Test Drive

[@sceb]

I have the 2013 Titanium and absolutely love it - fun, practical, great tech and zero quality issues. I could not be happier with my choice. Highly recommended

[@Three60Crusader]

9 years later. How’s it going?

[@sceb]

@@Three60Crusader sadly I had to sell it when I moved out of the country, but I honestly miss it. It was one of my favorite vehicles. I can say when I sold it in 2017 I had zero issues whatsoever.

[@Three60Crusader]

@@sceb I appreciate the reply back. I’m waiting to pick mine up with 52k miles on it.

[@sceb]

@@Three60Crusader that’s awesome! I really hope you like it as much as I did. What year and trim level?

[@Three60Crusader]

@@sceb it’s a 2014 Titanium and is in excellent condition. But yeah I hope so too. It’s definitely a upgrade from what I’m currently driving either way lol.

[@ravogs59]

We just bought a 2014 it has the roof option tow package and it also has the lift gate kick censer on each side of the hitch. We love it!!

[@athenashawnee729]

+ravogs59 are you still loving it?

[@Three60Crusader]

Loving this SUV so far. The engine sounds great probably due to the turbos and has some power. I drove it 100 miles yesterday which was when I picked it up and couldn’t be happier with the purchase so far.

[@kqb64]

How's the mpg?

[@Pat21617]

You did a fine job reviewing the Escape Titanium! Thanks! I am picking mine up tomorrow! I haven't driven/owned a car since 1990 so buying a car was a real dilemma.ive been driving/towing generators since 1990 in Ford F350's and I am looking forward to NOT driving one anymore. Thanks again

[@Pg-ch5nb]

How has it been?

[@pineapplescrew]

You do excellent reviews! This is about the third one I have seen. In the next year or two I plan on buying a new vehicle, so I have been keeping in sync with all the new choices out there.

[@pineapplescrew]

Thanx for the compliment will carter!

[@1drummer172]

I purchased a fully optioned black on black 2014 Escape Titanium used for just over $24k; it only had 16.7k miles and originally stickered for $37k. Great vehicle!

[@bgtheo7891]

1Drummer we're picking up ours tmrw. '14 40k miles fully loaded. what r u r thoughts of the car?

[@1drummer172]

Fato putso Loving it! That 2.0 turbo really hauls when using premium fuel; yes, there is a significant performance difference between using regular vs. premium. Everyone who rides in it loves the car; the styling, features, roominess, the panoramic roof, and the leather upholstery. I was comparing this vehicle with the Honda CRV at time I made the purchase; the Honda is a fantastic vehicle and cost a little less but fell seriously short on features and creature comforts.

[@bgtheo7891]

1Drummer yup. Same here in regards to the crv (great car) just a bit on the boring spectrum. U just get so much more bang for the buck with the titanium edge. The 2.0 is a beast and I daily drove my m3 in the summer, so getting into the 2.0 does not feel slow by any measure.

[@bgtheo7891]

1Drummer I meant escape, not edge..

[@BillZwicky]

Great review. Your automotive reviews are the best on KZbin in my opinion. Keep up the great work!

[@dennisquon3022]

Great Review. I bought a 2014 Escape Titanium, love it. On my build with the hitch and foot kick rear hatch, the foot kick feature was put back in when you have a factory hitch on Escapes built after May 2014.

[@NoSeQueNombrePoner947]

Hi. Can i ask you a question, how was your experience with this car? was it good? I am 20 years old and I want to buy my first car and I found the same model that you describe in your publication but I don't know if it is the right option. How long did your car last? do you still have it? Would it be a good first car?

[@cojack5941]

Do you still like it?

[@EdCali1]

I especially enjoy how you point out the differences in the model years and trim levels. And it a quick fashion. I've been pouring through a lot of reviews, and you;re at the top.

[@bonespiel]

I have the SE version of this vehicle and love it. 0to60 in mine feels faster then 7 seconds Mine has the panoramic sunroof and isn't any where near 37 thousand

[@HarryTheDoodle]

Yes! A NEW CAR REVIEW for 2014!!! Nice Sofyan. Guess I'll watch the video now.

[@amirnssiri9509]

Hi Sofyan I really like that 2014 Escape Titanium review

[@RAMON71463]

I recomend it. I have one and it's really nice.

[@flexor212000]

Just want to say thanks to your high quality videos. I really enjoy them and have for a long time (before 2theRedline)

[@TheMetalmachine467]

My 2013 escape sel or titanium Never had a recalls or any problems at all and my sel has over 10,000 miles and runs excellent. I only upgraded the my ford touch and it works flawless for me.

[@Christianjjhill]

@Wb6162 - actually the towing capacity for an escape is 3500 lbs which is equivalent to a truck.. You can pretty much handle anything...

[@pebblescain534]

I just bought an escape and I loooovvvvveeee it!!!!

[@Jennerical]

Why did they discontinue the SEL? I just purchased on trade in of a horrible 07’ equinox which had the worst cooling issues on a car I’ve ever seen and my mechanic with 30 yrs exp.

[@mrkongsimr]

I always like your reviews , but the rattle in the camera bothers me , one tends to think it´s in the interior . Thank´s

[@theredline]

Not according to our source with Ford. If you look on their website and build an Escape, it clearly species you cannot get the foot-activated power lift gate with the tow package.

[@Ekim2411]

I dig your videos. Ford has a lot of great options. I'll be considering the escape.

[@theredline]

The 2014 Fiesta should be arriving hopefully in July or August at the latest. We look forward to testing the new 1.0L EcoBoost but especially the ST model ;)

[@BronsonChad]

Think I just found my next vehicle!

[@bryanwells6635]

really good review, i like that you showed all the little features very close

[@deezedayz]

Regarding the Park Assist, I'm like you, I live in an urban area where parallel parking is usually the only option for parking. I have a 2012 Ford Escape Limited which I purchased new without the Park Assist and I have not encountered a situation where it has come in handy. My only gripe about my 2012 Escape is that the side mirrors don't fold flat and I have already had to have one of my side mirrors replaced (I live on a narrow street and I'm sure a bicyclist or a vehicle got too close and broke my mirror).

[@BlakesCars2]

I own a 2013 Escape SE 1.6 I just love it and so eager to rev!

[@s.xander471]

Thanks for the review. Was helpful with my decision making. I would get the Titanium with the 401A package and probably would leave out the rest of the extras like sunroof, etc. which would place me around $32,000. Question: According to the Ford website, horsepower numbers are gained with Premium fuel. Did you use Premium fuel for the test drive? Was impressed with the acceleration you had with the Escape.

[@anncokafor]

I like this car but it seems like everyone at my building has one. Especially in white.

[@mikesmith5375]

AT LEAST you know they are selling well!

[@3dogmom]

Lol.. bc I have this car, in white!! 🤭

[@paulpjr3224]

Anyone know how much it takes to fill the tank and how long it will last? I am coming from a V6 car that takes premium gas so I want something good on gas. Mine is 18/24 and average 20mpg. Would this get close to 30 highway?

[@chekainc]

You're wrong. It is a late release option for the 2014 model year. The people at my Ford dealership didn't realize it existed either. I if you go to Fords media website then click on product, then click 2014 Ford Escape. Finally just click product sheet and read it.

[@Kev50027]

I liked the parallel parking part, nice video!

[@ezeo.7315]

I didn't really like the Escape into my mom got this Ford Escape Titanium as a rental.Now we're looking at buying the 2013 Titanium.

[@pinksnowbirdie2938]

*Yes I know comparing two cars in two different categories is generally seen as a no-no, however here I go* I honestly think that the Ford Escape vs a Toyota Prius. That the Escape is more well packaged for its price and it's in the $35,000 range (like a spec'd out Prius Four) But I feel that the Escape is still a better car for some reason.

[@Officialqueenofthehouse]

Just get my and am loving it

[@allpointhd]

And word on when the 2014 Ford Explorer is going to be released? Do you know if there are major changes, or should I look for a deal now at closeout? Thanks

[@CountryBoyDak]

Having to drive one as a rental but mine is a 2012 sel it's amazing

[@theNick9071]

They took a lot of the dynamics and tuning from the Sport Model and brought it to lower trims.

[@deniedpilot8628]

on most new vehicles that advertise "4wd" they are the automatic 4wd. is this full time all wheel drive or can you manually choose 2 wheel drive? like a normal 4x4.

[@theredline]

Eventually, we have our connections with Hyundai as well. They should be sending us some vehicles soon.

[@keyth0]

very very great job. I love your style and wonderful review.

[@LandOfTheFreeMediaBlogspot]

Very nicely done review on the Escape Sofyan. I remember testing driving an SEL Escape a while back & it definitely drove a champ. In addition, I subbed back to you because you've also have earned my KZbin subscription. - Michael Land

[@TheMetalmachine467]

If you get a ford escape get an extended warranty because the transmissions go after the warranty runs out. 60 to 80,000 miles and it will cost you 5 grand mine had 86,000 miles when it went I had the dealer service the trans at 60,000 miles it had no leaks Granted there are ones that will last longer Check it out online and you'll see for yourself

[@jevchance]

Great review, thank you.

[@rjg1080]

I think Sofyan is right. I have a 2013 w/towing package and power lift gate, but kick feature not available. Unlikely this was changed for 2014.

[@fouskalini]

Daaaamn... this looks amazing!

[@Dankcatvacs]

you would make me very happy if you reviewed the oldiest cars you can find my favorite 80-95

[@morpheusjr373]

Sweet vid! Will we ever see a Genesis Couple on 2theredline?

[@BobbyFocus2008]

I’m possibly buying a 2014 Escape Titanium with the EcoBoost 2.0l 4 cylinder, I love how they look and Handle similar to a car , I love my 2011 Ford Focus SeS but it’s getting a little too small for my family, if I do end up buying the escape I’m keeping my little Focus as I have way too much money put into it with a few performance modifications such as a FsWorks Cold Air intake, FsWorks Coilover suspension, NuSpeed sway Bar kit , NuSpeed under the hood strut tower brace , FsWorks Turbo kit with inner cooler, a Modified Cobb Exhaust system (originally made for a Subaru ) the Ford Escape is pretty much a Bigger 3rd generation Focus with a taller ride height and all wheel drive, if I buy the escape am I going to mod it? Of course I’m a Ford Guy and still young.

[@graceclover8697]

I’m 15 looking for my first car before I get my license in November even tho I turn 16 in September. My mom had a Ford Escape a couple years ago and she really liked it. She feels comfortable with me driving it so I want to know if it’s good

[@samuelfreericks168]

its good

[@paulpjr3224]

Coming from a Mercedes C300 should I get this, a Rav4 or a Honda Accord? These and the new Rav4 look almost the same now. Not sure which to get though I need the power but also need good gas milage closer to 30mpg on average. I was thinking about a boat in the future would this tow a small boat?

[@RazgrizNinjaEX8]

I will be eagerly awaiting the car and the review! xD

[@chekainc]

I don't mean to be rude at all, but your wrong about not being able to have the towing option and the foot activated lift gate. It will be a late availability option.

[@cassmanio]

Fantastic review and right here in my backyard. I know the areas you drove....:)

[@Chepecafeteria]

parking, it helps uf you are gonna park between 2 cars... but there's no car behind you, so even grandma can pat there. but do it between 2 cars, even if you can park that is going to help lot. does that come standard with the titanium?

[@RazgrizNinjaEX8]

Hey! When you get the chance, will you find the time to review the 2014 Fiesta with the 1.0L Ecoboost when it releases in the Fall to Winter? I'm looking forward to the vehicle and enjoy your reviews because they are very relevant. Thanks!

[@efrenhernandez2639]

is 4x4?

[@Kavi4GP]

Nice to know European vehicles are well sold in the US , unfortunately we lost our ST engine euro-only version!

[@Outofurleaguex3]

Dose all of this cool stuff come on the basic model of the 2014

[@alfu8868]

Do you know if ford upgraded the engine or transmission for improved reliability? The 2013 escape has a whole bunch of consumer complaints on safecar.gov

[@jaythevillain7684]

anyone watching this in 2017?

[@gregtheyankee3713]

in 2019 :(

[@TheRealBrendon]

Greg Yankou me too

[@hakkai153]

2020, just bought one.

[@Jonathan-lq4uy]

2020 lol

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

2023!

[@NubletPie278]

Never understood why manufacturers think putting cup holders in the armrests is a good idea. Basically ruins the armrest for everyone all the time to please the small number of rear passengers that use cup holders some of the time.

[@Dklew9418]

Coudln't help but notice what is that flashing red light in the Gauges?

[@kristaylor7119]

What is the front cabin / legroom like in this?

[@hazelr7789]

I’m a college student and I want something reliable I currently have a Volkswagen Passat and my experience isn’t so great I’m in the shop like every month is this a good car for a college student to get I also live in a state where in the winter can get super heavy please let me know I’d appreciate it

[@1drummer172]

The kick to open feature does work with the trailer hitch; check the manual, you have to kick between the hitch and either exhaust port. Works great!

[@mr.mcadoo]

My mother Just got the '13 Escape SE… She LOVES IT!! also, is it possible to do a review on the '14 Fiesta Titanium Automatic? Thanks!

[@navi_exl]

That’s the same turn signal sound just like our 2017 Ford Focus makes when you use your turn signals like with the fords and their quirky sounding turn signals.

[@LyionsMountain]

Are you ever going to do a Buick encore?

[@TurfSurf]

The interior reminded me of those 1980s giant desktop ghetto stereos.

[@Alx77us]

I don't think you make any sense... Oh well .....

[@05Forenza]

People who can't parallel park amaze me lol. I can parallel park our E250 passenger van at work no problem.

[@lyngo100akalilbaby]

Would you be able to do a review of like an 02-07 volkswagen golf?

[@NorthEastRegional]

I am personally kinda torn between this, the CX-5 and the Forester, I know the Rav4 and Hyundai Tuscon has a poorly steering panel as looked at the IIHS Small Overlap Front, the Escapes, and CX-5 looks much more sturdier and doesn't intrude as much. The Forester obviously takes the best award for safety. However, I am not too sure about reliability with the Escape, CX-5 and Forester, The Honda CR-V looks a bit bland and the Small Overlap seem the worst according to video. Any sugestions? Thanks!

[@DanielBlaney]

actually they simplified it a lot now. Check their website out under build escape. The lineup is much simpler now.

[@TheMetalmachine467]

I love my 2013 sel with the 2.0 awd so much we bought a titanium also

[@DevPack]

is there an option for a regular moon roof?

[@ethancuthbert6972]

My 2013 Escape SEL has that chrome lip on the back.

[@theredline]

Working on it... we want Mazda to loan us the new 6 first ;)

[@bradhaughton6698]

Did ford update the flex in the 2014 ford flex

[@Skyhawk1987Turbo]

I wonder if Ford will make the 2.0 optional on the Fusion Titanium? That would be BAD, Also you cant get the Sony on the Fusion S or SE

[@halilsabri5107]

Thic car has great power and build very good and nice to me this is the best small USV

[@ford446462]

Yes I love this car

[@Only1DrewN]

Please do the older model dodge charger SXT 2006-2010 would love to hear your opinions

[@SuperQdaddy]

Its 2018 and you can pick these up for 10k ! With low miles !! So many used cars for sale

[@Alx77us]

Yup...I got my ford escape 2014 in January 2019 and full package titanium with 75k one owner old man 👍 in Winter Park Florida... Like new inside and outside no accidents and that miles he put was because he drove to North Caroline but other than that I'm so happy with it... I got mine for $14k January 2019 with 75k miles but in 4 months I drove mine 3 hours to my old job which I'm not longer drive it no more because of the distance and now 06/22/2019 it has 96k and so far the only problem i have is that I change the transmission mount and I did it myself it was super easy and now i will change the motor mount which is easy too.... This small SUV is my every day ride and i only drive it around my house and I don't take long drives because my job is 14 minutes away from home and everything else I need is around my house... This small SUV is super good and i can't complain. In fact some guy at work told me something that I didn't like... He said i drive a ford and he asume Ford's car crash easier ... 😱😬 what ever he mean by that fuck him... I know his car is super nice and he drives a 2017 honda civic type R ... screw him I'm 42 y/o I'm not 25 y/o like him and my payments are $300 and $100 for full cover and i know his payments are way higher than mine...

[@bernardnewsome806]

Alx's Entertainment why tf did I just read all that it made no sense

[@fantomtuba]

What if vibrating in the 9th minute?

[@cspennington12]

you are right because humans are faster than technology at driving or parking. people now are to relying on these back-up cameras, back-up sensors, parallel park itself. I don't know where we all are heading but technology is taking over the innovations.

[@kun0608]

Can you review the 2014 tc?

[@alexchen7825]

It be nice to see a Escape ST 6 speed stick shift

[@bradhaughton6698]

Did ford update the flex the 2014 flex

[@jdoe5171]

What's up with the compass it's backwards?

[@homox2]

Not true about the towing hitch losing the auto hatch open. I have the towing hitch on my 2014 Escape Titanium, you need to slide your foot in to the left of the towing hitch to open the hatch. Also, I have the 2014 Ti with the 401a, panorama roof, tow hitch, and parking assist for less than $29K.

[@bernarddelacruz475]

is that available in philippines?how can i avail?

[@NubletPie278]

What about them? They don't like armrests?

[@fatcat7872]

Is this car have apple carplay?

[@thealperson3]

Can you review the Subaru wrx sti?

Woooow its really amazing car 😙😙😙
