[@jeffreymoore4132]

Thank you for taking the time to do this side by side comparison. It was extremely informative seeing the differences.

[@PetrieFordKingston]

Thanks for the nice comment Jeffrey! Cheers!

i'm the only one who tried to clean right corner of monitor? :DDD

[@PetrieFordKingston]

My bad! I dropped my phone a while back and that black dot appeared! It's in every video! : )

[@jondobbs69]

Nope. Me too. lol

[@psihodel7292]

[@robert4you]

I did it too... :-)

[@horseplop9]

hiloruslan me too

[@TheRodoful]

I prefer 2013, it looks more refined style, like European meanwhile 2017 looks more like Ecosport and Ranger, a rare combination than 2020 they eliminated a totally different style, maybe trying to forget this one...

[@GeoffreyRogg]

How about towing capacity of the 2017 Escape? I'm thinking of getting the 2017 Airstream Base Camp or next up small Airstream trailer. Would the two litre engine be sufficient?

[@PetrieFordKingston]

Small boats... yes. Campers? ....probably not the best option. If i remember correctly, the 2.0L tows up to about 4500lbs.... i could be mistaken.

[@blockchainshark1392]

No!!! You do not tow trailers with a Ford escape. If you had to brake hard or swerve in traffic's quickly you might crash and die because the escape is not strong enough . If you want a vehicle that like an SUV and better at towing then the Honda Ridgeline is your best choice. But even that is not as good as a proper tow vehicle such as the 1/2 ton market

[@michelemeixner7604]

I do not like the look of the 2017, I'm so glad I bought the 2015, which I love! I do not like the way they are going w the 2017 grill, and even the little changes they made w shape of lights- They had a nice looking, unique, classy style/shape that came out in 2013, which others copied, and now they are just switching back to a big ugly grill that looks like every other suv.

[@kishajones237]

Yeah I don't like the new grill on it either I have a 2016 for escape I love the grill on 2016 2015 but the up to date grill is a no no they should of left it alone

[@crypticreality8484]

I definitely prefer the 17 grille. To each their own though.

I am about to buy an Escape and I wanted to know the differences between both models. All I can say is thank you for such an informative video. I have made my mind, I love the 2017 way better than the 16. The front look of the 16 looks so much like a sedan and I did not liked that. But you got me at how spacious is the inside of the car. Great video!

[@PetrieFordKingston]

Thanks Laura, I agree. The 17 made some very positive front end changes. Enjoy your Escape! Take care.

[@Lincolnator721]

Wow I want this '17 Escape so badly...

[@PetrieFordKingston]

I call them a mini-Edge now : ) They're very nice!

[@zabdielvidal5640]

@@PetrieFordKingston que versión es la del 2016 que es diferente porque yo tengo una pero no sé cómo se llamaría esa versión me dijeron que es la versión full accesorios

[@juelzm149]

17 looks sooo much better!! Good job Ford!

[@horseplop9]

Julius McDow Totally Agree. not even close. The center stack is much better

[@zabfe1421]

I just don't get it, last ford escape 2016 had leds in the back lights ( or something similar), why is this new model not offering those leds??????

[@PetrieFordKingston]

: ) They're pretty much the same... just a little darker and shaped slightly different.

[@robert4you]

The front on the 2017 is so much better looking, perfect! But the rear... Hmm, those tail-lights are way too "dark" and small in my opinion. The 2016 rear looked better. But the car's exterior and interior are improved, no question about it.

[@lidsman2221]

I like the 17 but the wheels look really bad. They look much better on the 16.

[@hollisterman06]

Nope I disagree the snowflake pattern is awesome

[@PetrieFordKingston]

: ) I like them both equally.

[@geoffphillyphan]

I THINK THE GRILLE GETS A MORE FAMILY LOOK SIMILIAR TO THE FUSION AND TAURUS.

[@daveroe8612]

Does the 2017 Sony sound system include a Sub in the rear?

[@horseplop9]

hey what do you think,of the 1.6l ecoboost?

[@PetrieFordKingston]

A great turbo-charged motor. It's powerful, lightweight, and if you don't keep you foot to the floor...is great on gas!

[@nhnonna]

Nicely done, thanks

[@zararodriguez7713]

Is this a SE?

[@AnonymousAnonymous-xt6go]

I personally like the 2016 better. I just got a 2016 and I love it

[@ceciliaramos70]

Have you ever had any problem with it?

[@BrianKaszuba]

Any info on if the 2017 is better for carseats? I see that elsewhere but looking to confirm.

[@PetrieFordKingston]

Hi Brian. It's my own personal opinion that the seats didn't change much if at all between the two years...

[@aramoh482]

Hello

[@PetrieFordKingston]

HI!

[@aguasanta]

They should've put the back seats on rails so people can make more leg room

[@PetrieFordKingston]

Welcome to the 2020 Escape! : )

[@zoeith6]

2016 is better looking all around
