How to remove the front bumper in a 2017, 2018, and 2019 Ford Escape. Easy DIY

There aren't many RUclips videos on 2017 Ford Escapes. In this video I show you how to remove the front bumper. The front bumper has to be removed if you need to replace the headlight assembly, radiator, or radiator fans. In addition the bumper has to be removed if you want to put in an aftermarket grill, like the Raptor grill.

We’ll done video! Excellent step by step. I have a 2017 Ford Escape and this was the only video I could find on this model. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. Very helpful and informative. Just removed the bumper of a 2018 Titanium and the video helped a ton.

[@BaronVonBlack]

Thank you so much for the video. Helped me a lot on my Kuga. I had the Raptor Grille to install and this video made it very easy.

Very helpful, I subscribed and liked! I'm struggling to remove the front bumper from my wife's 2019 escape. I really only want to replace the bumper cover, but it seems as though I have to take off the whole assembly (including grill and lower trim pieces etc). Your tip about the 3 torx screws along the bottom was very helpful!

The video I literally needed thank you.

Nice capture of steps. I might get that FORD raptor grill and install it?? Thanks

[@johnvarney1844]

Does the wiring loom for the front fog light run along back of bumper from light to light with a single connector on the driver side or are they independent plugs on both sides for each fog light. Thanks

[@laurentiumarius687]

many thanks !

[@Germancarworks]

Nice job buddy, is the impact sensors behind the bumper somewhere? I need to change the front right sensor and I can’t see them from above just looking at the front! Thanks

My sister's 2017 had an accident that wrecked the passenger fender by pushing in the edge that has the 3 retainer screws & badly scuffing the front clip on that side. Looking into possibly having a shop but if all the parts are available from a car I saw @ the Pick N Pull might grab the entire front if can get the entire unit cheaply enough as well as the fender (same color). The front comes off easier than I expected. 7 bolts on top...3 on bottom...3 on each side in the fender wells.

Thank you

I just want to change the ford emblem on the grill do I need to take the whole bumper off just to change the emblem on the grill thanks

[@miker8379]

Is this generally required to replace the ambient air sensor

[@XxLoudxX]

As someone who got in an accident is there any chance you could tell me where the sensors for the airbags are on the Ford escape 2018

[@keith1008]

Ok my car was hit in an accident. I want to replace the front bumper cover, change the grille to a honey comb. will everything fit properly?

How long to remove driver side fender?

[@Nick-ij2yy]

Hey can you tell if it's possible to remove the grill wo removing the bumper? I'm guessing not...

[@ScottsGarage17]

As far as I can tell you cannot without removing the bumper.

[@3mariusx]

What component code have the white clips? I cannot find them😢 please respond. Thank you

How long does it take to replace a bumper?

[@jonathoncherry6223]

What about front strut on a 2019 Ford escape

[@vwccrline]

Thanks for the info, how do you remove the grill?

[@kevinfenwick3477]

Got it off to replace the radiator and can’t gently the. Cover on correctly

[@joshuaalvarez1832]

Any updates on the grey GMC Sierra 1500

[@ScottsGarage17]

I am sad to say that I sold it. I didn't want to, but it was causing too much stress at home with limited driveway space.

[@robinyhr]

I always wondered if can swap out my 15’ escape front end with one like those and actually they look similar on hardware/installation.
Thanks for sharing.

[@TheRealHistoryBuff]

Maybe you have to change a $20 sensor that the shop quoted you $1000 to do

[@jug3r295]

I hate these cars. When I see one coming in the shop, im running away lol. The guy wants me to remove the front bumper to take pictures of damage behind. The thing is that he doesn’t know that I need to remove the whole front end to access the 3 bolts lol. When I’m in a hurry, I just jack the car, remove the corner of the fender trim and loosen the front of the wheel liner,so my air ratchet can go in. Every Ford car or SUV are made like that except some years of Ford Focus 😒
