I bought the basic ST line escape 2023. I was surprised yesterday when I took a curve a little fast. The car stayed flat around the curve. Very nice. I have 1500+ miles on it and I’m still learning things about the car. I love it.

Thanks for the video! Yes, Ford has made it a bit confusing to figure out all the trim levels at the start. Once the insurance adjuster says our 2015 Escape is a write off, there is an Escape Select our dealer can transfer that actually has every option there is. Don't need the tow package, but you never know!

Wasn't considering the Escape but I need to go check one out now. I'm interested in the ST Elite 500 or 501A package or the Platinum 600 or 601. I had no idea that the new Escape offer these kind of options.

The only design recommendation I would suggest for the next iteration of the Escape is to give it Mustang MachE LED tail lights and or give the Ford logo the same backlight effect as the Lincoln logo.

Surprise…. At about 2000 miles my city mpg dropped suddenly f.rom 41.x to 38.1 mpg. I took it to Lakeland ford where I bought it. I actually received a letter from the service manager stating there was nothing wrong. My driving area hasn’t changed. Neither has anything else. It is a great car, but if your service is terrible, let everyone know where you bought it. That’s Lakeland ford, Lakeland Florida. Please pass around…..

I bought our Ford escape st line hybrid that arrived while we were looking to buy. How the heck can I tell what I have? It is a base hybrid model, but which one? The owners manual in the dash just lists things, but doesn’t explain anything. How can I learn what I have, and how it works, or what it does? I.e. what is the difference between normal setting and eco setting? Do I gain/lose anything with either setting? Can I buy a complete owner’s manual? Where?

Hello Mitch. I am VERY impressed with this video. I have been looking forward to getting an Escape Plug-in Hybrid however I encountered a few flaws. One flaw is that in the state where I am from, Ford is apparently at their limit on making Plug-in Hybrids because where I am from, it is not a PHEV state like California. Why would that be? Additionally, I have found numerous dealerships in the state and only found TWO Escape hybrids. The second flaw is as of 5/31, they are no longer taking orders for a 2023 Ford Escape PHEV. This means I will have to wait for the 2024s. When do you think they will be ready for pre-order?

@@ther8764 Interesting--I got to 105k with my '14 Escape SE, before I rolled it on a September summer evening, in 2019. Got a leftover '20 Escape S AWD in May 2021, for $20,200 out-the-door. A nice car, but an issue with a bad welding job from the factory, got my car into the local Ford dealership body shop, and a new driver's side door (NHTSA is now looking into it, because there were 118 other similar incidents for the Escape). I like the new one--looks a little sleeker than my current one, but do hope that they've gotten the manufacturing down pat, this time.

@@dont4450 I could have told you 10 years ago to avoid the 1.6 and 1.5 four cylinder Ecoboosts. I did test a Fusion with the 1.6 Ecoboost when it first came out but regretted it cause they had bad fuel lines in early builds and were catching on fire in high numbers. The current 1.5 is a new 3 cyl that is based on the 1.0 3 cyl they've had in Europe for many years. However, I purchased a 2020 with the 2.0 Ecoboost. It's been flawless so far and I don't expect that to change. I do my research and pick the best engine that typically is the most powerful. My fuel economy is insanely good
