Test Drive: 2003 Ford Escape Limited 

The Escape is probably 1 of my favorite cars out there, regardless of which model year. I also like the old Mercury Mariner and the Mazda Tribute, which are both different versions of the Escape as well. 😁👍

Makes me miss my 2002 and my 2005 XLT V6s the most :( those engines are amazing.

These are my favorite Escapes of all time!

I love these, my Aunt had a 2001, and racked up over 200,000 miles on it, and my Grandma bought a new 2008, and hasn't had a problem yet!

I like the 2001-2004 model years of the escapes the best

i love my moms xlt sport escape...its very fast...took my dmv test and the instructor said i was kissing 50mph....great car...everytime i drive it i feel sporty...the v6 engine is frekand awsome for 200hp...love that car...with a 101 wheel base its easy too park...love the escape sooo much i bought a poster too hang in my room

Found one a couple years ago for $1500 130k miles, great car

I swear, Kyle u give tha best reviews 'bout cars & test drives. Im'a get a car 4 graduation & I ALWAYS come 2 yo page 4 reviews on tha best cars. Keep tha good work up, bro.!

since 2000 Fords really jumped up in quality.

Getting a 2005 Saturday!!

I used to have a 2003 ford escape xlt and I loved it. I drove it everywhere for the longest time. I got hit from the side on a winter night driving home from work. It sucked ass losing that truck. It was my baby

the materials on the door inserts and the passenger airbag are interesting..They are like a mix of hard and soft. they fool you. everything is firmly set in the escape, or tribute for that matter. I have no idea what that noise is.. The material isn't definitely hard like it is in my Grandmother's pilot. As much as i hate the metallic painted plastic, i think it is of much better quality than has been since 06 with GM for example. The ride is firm, yet not harsh like my grandfather's Volvo S70.

I have a 2008 XLT with 71K miles on it and I can tell it's worth every dollar I paid for it. Very reliable, good looking and the V6 has plenty of power. I've put 10k in the last 6 months and it didn't break a sweat. I used to have a 4cyl Saturn VUE with the 5spd manual and I was amazed when I saw my Escape was getting the same combined mileage. I'm averaging 23mpg which is great considering this lady has a 4spd slushbox and I don't have an easy foot by any means. I would recommend the Escape to anyone looking for a nice, inexpensive and decent CUV

love the car

I really enjoy those Ford cars especialy the 2008-2009 Ford Focus'. The engine that Ford put in it is amazing. That 1.9L I4 gets excelent gas milage and sounds pretty good. The 1.5L I4 in the old generation of Focus sounded good and got good gas milage, but the 2008-2009 is better.

I'm in the UK and own a Blue 2004 3.0 XLT, I've had it 18 months and its now at about 75K miles on the clock, been great so far I must admit, very reliable and not bad out on the fields when I'm shooting. I also happen to really like them anyway. But of course the gas mileage utterly sucks, at under 20mpg round town. It may be 200bhp and 200 Torque but so are most 1.9 and 2 litre turbo diesels these days and they'll give about 35 round town and much more on the highway. That's why it was only offered in the UK for about 4 1/2 years. It failed here because they never offered a modern engine for it or a decent interior. Being a platform that is shared with Mazda the 2000 - 04 3.0 litre model was aimed squarely at the USA market, where gas is a tenth of the price of UK & Europe, but I still like it and use it as my weekend vehicle. Shame really as in the UK there are still no decent Ford 4x4 models below the rather agricultural and expensive Ranger model, the new Ford Edge is a two wheel drive school runner, with no off-road ability at all.

I have the 2010 Escape Limited V6 4X4 ...I love it!

I'm getting that exact same car because I like that they have column shifter

I love these fird escape suv I never owned one but I want one now

My sister had a 2002 Ford Escape that was all black. She had it for 16 years. I only drove it once in 2004 just before she gotten married. It was a short drive for me. She even told me where to go. I rather have her to do all of the driving.

Excellent ride! I wonder how you can drive those nice cars for free? ;) Thanks for uploading!

Wich one you guys recomend to buy, a Ford Escape 3.0 model 2004 or a Chevy Trailblazer 4.2 model 2004?

I have a 4X4 XLT escape and all I do is fly around corners and let the tires squeal. It's so fun driving around with 200 hp.

the 6 was standard on limited and i think also on the XLT models

@1964mm probably to check out the steering and see how well it handles.

What's the creeking noise

Del 2002 al 2004 la Escape fue la mejor con su V6 porque tiene arranque y en traccion 4 x 4 es de lo mejor de la FORD en cuanto dunas y lodo

I have 2005 Ford Escape, Model TA-EP3WF bought in Japan. Unfortunate in July this year I got an accident and the engine stopped. I send the vehicle to the dealer and they asked me the Chassis number which is EP3WF102399 according to the card of the vehicle. But the dealer insist that it should have 14 digits so that they can feed the system to know what is wrong with the engine. Could someone assist me or verify that chassis number should have 14 digits?

I agree. I have a '97 XLT that drives like it is brand new. Same for my mom's escape, which has 113k. Although she did have a Windstar that crapped out at only about 140k. But that was the only Ford in our family that died young.

These suvs as well as the mazda tribute lx and es have a great radio systems

I've noticed that my grandparnt's 01 ford escape does the same creaking, but it didnt seem to do it as much as this one though.

@xavier1519 That sounds to me like interior panles were taken off at one point for a mod or repair or something and never put back on correctly. Ive been in a few of these things, never once did they creek like that.

North Carolina B gettin some snow 4 real.

What I want to know is how does handle on the highway doing about 70 mph for a few miles?

After 2004, Ford upgraded the interior of the Escape's. I have a 2005 and mine only makes that cracking sound when I put it in reverse.

i currently own this exact same car in Green XLT trim. boring to drive, IMO. I am planning on selling it and buying a Honda Cr-v (96-01) due to the reliability and excellent gas mileage, and being a working high school student this is more than an attractive feature to me. all winter long this thing runs at a different pitch every morning. a few problems im having are that my starter misses teeth every other start, my Gas tank supports Disconnected after filling it one day, both driver and passenger side quarter panels shot out surface rust faster than i could get money to deal with it LOL. in my opinion, this is the BOTTOM OF THE BARREL when it comes to Ford. not to mention this thing has no power. For the first 2 months i loved it, then the past year i hated it...

nice suv man!

nice one thanks

Dealership.can make new escapes.this year ? Or no ?

the way you can tell on mazda tributes on where they were built( not sure about escapes) the colum shifters are japanese.

i think it mighta beeen his camera mount.

i cant wait to drive mines its sitting in the driveway waiting for my licence

At 7:13, the Escape turns over 94K

WHERE DID YOU BOUGHT THAT GRILLE ????! Let me know I wanna buy it TY!

I like the Ford escape

My dad had a 2008 Ford Escape and it always sounded like this on the inside

I think it was maybe the tires because there is a lot of road noise. :/ i dont know

the transmission on the 2000-2007 (Japan, US) 2006-present (Taiwan) 2010-present (China) Ford Escape Transmission 5-speed manual 4-speed CD4E automatic

I want this so bad!

It's a little bit creaky..That's ok most cars from the era do have a few annoying noises. My 02 does.

Definitely. Especially the wee-little 4bangers that come in them. They seem so rugged looking.. The passat of SUV's.. hehe

Hey. Can you do a video with the FORD ESCAPE 2012 please? thanks and nice channel

6:51-7:00 Why do you always do that?

i have a 2005 ford escape

never getting another ford or mazda, have the sister of this car (mazda tribute same year) . soooo many electrical issues, you name it it has been replaced. i love the look and the power but the durability is crap. the creaking is the rear shocks by the way i recognize it, had to replace mine twice.

We are going to the house.

2009 Mercury Mariner.

you test driving the radio? wtf

Squeaks like an old bed

Best.SUV.ever

6:12 dont flip me off

2003 Mercury Mariner

Is it me, or does it seem like you have to push it hard just to go anywhere..... 🤔

pause at 0:29 look at kyles face haha :)

it was like the steering wheel the creaking

I just realized that this doesn't have AWD. Who the hell buys a 2 wheel drive Escape? Especially in that area of the US.

I like the explorers better. I don't know why, they're both crap. My dad had a 99 ford explorer and two of the pistons wouldn't fire. What a weird car. It still felt manlier than this car I guess. This car just feels a little feminine to me. Not very "ford tough" if you ask me.

I don't get it. Do you people take your camera and go to a car lot and use them for a test drive? If so that is messed up because you have no actual interest in buying the car. Hope you don't do that.
