The Ford Escape debuted for the 2001 model year as a compact SUV developed with Mazda, and it quickly became a best-seller. It offered a choice of a 4-cylinder or V6 engine and front- or all-wheel drive, filling a crucial spot in Ford's lineup. In 2005, Ford introduced the Escape Hybrid, the first hybrid SUV from an American automaker and a significant technical milestone.
As a collectible, the Escape doesn't have a significant following. It was built in massive numbers as a practical daily driver, and the market treats it as such. There are no high-performance SVT or ST versions to drive enthusiast demand. The only models with minor historical significance are pristine, first-generation Hybrids, but even these don't command high prices.
Buying Tips
- Check first and second-generation models (2001-2012) for significant rust in the rear wheel wells, rocker panels, and subframes.
- On AWD models, inspect the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) for leaks or listen for grinding noises, as failures are common.
- Test drive V6 models to ensure the automatic transmission shifts smoothly, as early units had known durability issues.
- For hybrid models, be mindful that the high-voltage battery has a finite lifespan and is very expensive to replace.
