I kind figured they would have brought out a hybrid version but guess not. Also doesn't look like you can add a tow hitch on anything but the Badlands. My wife's 23 Big Bend has the tow hitch and it is perfect for the bike mount.

I like it. Probably the most capable soft roader now and I appreciate the steel bumpers.

Tremor and Lobo should be the full driver screen. I’m sure someone will make it happen eventually!

EDIT: I also hope those steel bumper inserts and better underbody protection find their way to a 2026 Tremor

More and more what the Escape used to be.

Probably next year, after the Escape Hybrid leaves.

feels like it’s getting father away from escape.

Ooooo…. Upfitter switches appear to be the same shape as the old upper console meaning can work in Maverick

I really like the idea of USB ports on top of dash

Used to be. The current Escape is getting further and further away from Escape.

2008 Escape:

At around $45,000 and knowing the build quality is around what the Maverick is, hard pass for me. That's a lot of coin and opens up more options.

TIL 1st gen Escapes had a AWD system with a center locking diff.

Something else that will surprise you: "Ford also sold the first generation Escape in Europe and China as the Ford Maverick."

USB ports are great there, Would love them to go ahead and get one by the rear view mirror too for easier dash cam installs.

We had a 2002 Escape, with front wheel drive, or 'auto' four wheel drive, where it drove in front wheel drive and when needed, kicked in the rear. You also had 'full time' AWD. I'm almost certain it was AWD, not 4WD? Correct me if I've mistaken.
