The biggest threat to the Maverick is a ten year old Ranger with low miles. But you only save a couple of grand going with a ten year old vehicle, so why wouldn't you buy the new one if you really don't need a six foot bed?

I have a 2018 Escape S FWD with the 2.5L engine. It came with the Michelin gas saver tires. I was getting 31-33 mpg on the interstate depending on whether I used 87 or 93 octane and 10% ethanol or non-ethanol fuel and keeping it at 70 mph or just under. I put a set of Michelin defenders on about 6 months ago and it actually picked up 1 mpg over the suppossed "gas saver" tires. As far as space for golf clubs, I'm assuming you mean with the rear seats up, not down.I'm trading my 2018 Escape with 23K on it. It is comfortable to drive but the back compartment is so small it is useless. Also, for a 2WD 4 cylinder the milage is terrible. If there was enough room for golf clubs and got 32MPG I would love to keep it.
Yes, I can get 31-33 highway but average is about 24ish. Golf clubs will go in with rear seats down. It's just a pain ita.I have a 2018 Escape S FWD with the 2.5L engine.

Doesn’t the escape have a more quality interior/touchscreen and more features? Plus slightly larger interior?I think you’re right.
Homely! I can only go up, I have a Buick Encore. My friends call it the Potato. The Mav will be a fashion statement for me.More like: "The biggest threat to the Ford Escape is the Ford Maverick". I can see lots of potential Escape owners decide to go for the Maverick instead. It's cheaper and the 2.0L engine and AWD can be had in the maverick for about $7k less. Even the Hybrid Maverick is lots cheaper than the hybrid Escape. ........ plus the current Escape is homely as hell IMO.
Not trying to offend but I could never get the popularity of the Buick Encore/Chevy Trax. Mostly the Buick Encore because it is more expensive than the Chevy version. I remember seeing loaded Encores going for over $30K. Crazy. Built on the Chevy Sonic platform with a 1.4L turbo engine and less passenger & cargo space than my previous gen Ford Escape.Homely!

I love my Encore. Got it off the dealer lot with options for $20k. It was new but a year old. Zero problems in 6 years and I've towed a lot with it. Averages over 31mpg and handles well. Zips around like a bug in the parking lots.Not trying to offend but I could never get the popularity of the Buick Encore/Chevy Trax.
