Make Your Escape
A compact crossover SUV, the Ford Motor Company had scheduled
the Ford Escape's first appearance in 2001. Pricing for this
vehicle was made lower than the Ford Explorer. This vehicle was
jointly developed by the Ford Motor Company and Mazda. In
Europe, this SUV is more known as the Ford Maverick. It is also
built on the Ford CD2 platform.
Last year, the Ford Escape was updated with a new base engine
which was the 2.3 liter Duratec 23. It also had additional
features that included added airbag, seatbelt safety system, an
intelligent all wheel drive system, and changes done to its
exterior. However, the recline feature of the rear seats were
erased. This vehicle offers a good balance of sport and utility,
with a better interior and with improved engine.
The new 2006 Ford Escape is a small and affordable sport utility
vehicle. For a relatively affordable price, this vehicle offers
a smooth ride and easy comfort. Space is something that the Ford
Escape could afford to provide - for cargo and for passengers as
well. All rolled in one vehicle are grace, style, and comfort.
This vehicle has been made available in three trim levels which
comprises of the XLS, the XLT, and the Limited. Among all these
three trims, the common features include a capacity of four
passengers, a brisk acceleration that is powered by strong
engines, a front wheel drive (2WD) or four wheel drive (4WD),
and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
The 2006 Ford Escape XLS has air conditioning, illuminated
remote entry, power windows and mirrors, a tilt steering column,
a center console, 15-inch steel wheels, and an AM/FM/CD/cassette
audio system that has a clock built in. For the XLT trim,
features include an automatic transmission, a four-wheel
anti-lock brakes (ABS), premium cloth upholstery, a power
driver's seat, privacy glass, a power moonroof, cruise control,
