My dad used to have a 2011 Escape XLT with the 4 cylinder. That thing was absolutely bulletproof.

[cryomaniac]

I had a customer with a 2001 Ford escape she bought it brand new in 2000, still driving with over 375k miles on it, she never missed any services, that shows what proper maintenance can do.

[LuckyFerals]

I’m still driving my 2005 V6 Ford Escape Limited. The older ones looked so much nicer, like a smaller SUV versus a large hatchback.

[ahmedfahad]

When I was an international student in US, I bought a 2010 Ford Escape V6. I used it from January 2017 until July 2019 and there was no issues at all even though I have traveled and visited 36 states in that car. Such a reliable car 👌🏻

[derrickroseforeverr]

thank u for this video scotty! i was handed down my 2003 escape limited by my grandma and it is still running amazing at 234, 000 miles. my grandad and i are so impressed by the v6. insanely reliable highway commuter with good power

[robinyhr]

I owned two Escapes, a 2012 with the V6 and my current Escape is a 2015 with the 2.5 naturally aspirated, no issues at all.

[Tebssis]

I'm still driving my 2003 Escape. Once let a friend drive it and his first remark getting onto the expressway was, "Wow, this car is zippy! Smooth and quick getting up to 75." With regular maintenance, it runs as good as the day I bought it and I have nearly 200K miles on it.

[wolfemanxd]

I still own a 2011 Ford Escape with the 4 banger and have over 200k miles on it. It's been one the toughest cars I've ever owned next to my 84 Honda Accord.

[TheChris]

My father owns a 2010 Ford Escape with the v6 that he bought used back 2014, and it’s about to hit 200k miles. Fantastic car no major problem since he’s owned it.

[rangerbravo]

I've had a 2016 Escape SE and a 2019 Escape Titanium. Both pretty good cars. Shift nice, plenty of power and good on gas. Works great in the snow as well.

[dstuart]

My 2005 XLT V6 Ford Escape passed 270, 000 miles a few weeks ago and it's still my daily driver for the family. No issues.

[danahilary]

This is probably my all time favorite vehicle in terms of quality, versatility, look especially - classic boxy, not too big or small for suv. I WISH they kept the classic lool of ford escape at 2012 ..

[hamzahmushtaq]

I had a hybrid one that lasted over 400, 000 miles, it was a NYC green taxi, I sold it but I heard it's still going. The model years being 2009 to 2012 of course, some of them last 700k

[Knightcowboy]

For the last 5 years my wife drove a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. And when she bought it, , it had just under 200k miles. Talk about a dependable little SUV, that thing was built to last and NEVER left her stranded on the side of the road. Any mechanical issues that popped up with it were minor, not once did it need any major mechanical work, and it got regular vehicle maintenance. She recently decided to upgrade to a 2012 Ford Edge(which is also a dependable CUV)and sold the Escape to the in-laws. That Escape is still trucking along.

[johnc]

I have a 2010 and a 2011 Ford Escape with low mileage the only things I've had to do to them replace a battery and brakes and other routine maintenance the 2010-11 Ford Escape are the two best vehicles I've ever owned

[eDWArD]

Do you know the peace of mind it brings when I just bought a Ford Escape and SKOTTY is comparing it to a TOYOTA there is a God

[dgw]

The Escape series, especially 2nd gen, are solid cars. My 2011 v6 4wd towed pretty well, got 25mpg, was good in the sand and snow, it had really comfy seats and didn't give me much trouble at all. I sold it with 150k miles and it still ran like a champ and had good resale value.

[paulbjork]

The 2012 and older Ford Escape has ground clearance, squareness and interior cargo height to make it unsurpassed. I had a 2009 V6 6 speed AWD that got 326, 000 miles until rust got the best of it and made it an expensive fix. I then bought a 2012 V6 6 speeed AWD. With agressive tires, it goes anywhere and it has more interior cargo height than myTelluride, and the seats fold perfectly flat and level for dog crates.

[mauriciomunguia]

I own a 2012 Ford Escape Limited 2.5, bought it used aboit a year ago with 118, 000 miles on the odometer. So far it has been a great vehicle, reliable and fairly cheap to maintain. I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for reliability. Besides, 3rd Gen has the best boxy looks of all the generations 👌🏻
