I'll tell you why I care about 0-60 times. My rav4 took roughly TWICE that amount of time(10-11 seconds. 0-60). It wasn't just boring to drive, but couldn't summon the speed to pass in many circumstances. Commuting on back roads, you get stuck behind a logging truck. They crawl slowly in the "no passing" areas. They speed up in the passing areas. A slow rav 4 could not accelerate quickly enough in the short passing areas to get by safely. The titanium would zip by with a comfortable margin. The difference is, not getting delayed by over an hour by slow vehicles. That, and having a fun ride.
@@LJsGarage one of the trends happening now that I hate- tiny engines in big vehicles. They are charging the same or more for a mid sized suv but…. Most suvs weigh 3600-5500 lbs. A 1.5 liter engine with less than 200 hp makes for a sluggish ride that can’t tow much. In a Mitsubishi Outlander for example, top trim starts about $32k. All you can get is the weak 180hp/180 ft-lb torque engine. Ok on mileage, pathetic power. These products are self-defeating, and a rip-off imo.
I bought this vehicle earlier this week and I am loving it. The looks, the ride, the handling...everything! Mine is persian blue, not a color I usually choose. It looks blue in some light and green in other light. This is a fun ride!!
just bought a 2020 Titanium AWD Starwhite with $8,000.00 off of the sticker great deal, put me in the Kia Seltos SX price range and is way better. I love the 250 HP it flies.... Magnaflow and Borla are coming out with a CAT back exhaust I can't wait.
A neat thing that I learned while owning my 2017 escape with the 2.0 ecoboost is that they share the same engine as the Focus ST. The difference is the Tune and The turbo since ford went with a different turbo
awesome review! no reviews I watched before I purchased this machine mentioned the towing capacity / power train options I am glad you went over it. Not a lot out there that can offer the same for the price. keep up the great content!
I already put 10K miles on my Escape titanium and done 1,000 mile non stop trips.... its an amazingly fast, comfortable and stable car averaging 27 mpg @85 mph!!! and the radio sounds are phenomenal but the best is the adaptive self-drive cruise control.... wow!!!! What a car!!!!
That swipe your foot under the rear bumper to make the lid open never works right I’ve had three escapes and by the time you kick your foot under their 50 times you give up push the button LOL!
Haha I've never found any manufacturer make one that does the first time without hiccup. BMW owners created a whole guide on the angle, speed, and distance needed to get em to work 🤦🏿♂️
I’ve had three escapes most recent a 2020 titanium which I only bought about a month ago I’m absolutely loving it this is actually my wife’s car I drive a 2020 dodge challenger 50th anniversary edition scat pack.
All of RUclips including some of the best like Doug Demuro and only you mention Andrew Bazinski the Lead designers take on the body lines. Liked and subscribed
Much appreciated! & I'm glad you caught that, engineers and designed don't get enough credit on the art they bring to life. Even the ugly cars take time lol
Great video .You are the first person and I have seen a few videos to mention the garage remote option .Im in Australia and the top version is called the Vignale.I want to buy it.It comes out in November here .
In the UK its the Kuga and the titanium is 2nd up in trim.... So although quite well specced, not as good as the others above. Zetec, Titanium, ST Line, ST Line X, Vignalle. Remote start is via the app and in built modem and on automatic only.
We bought a brand new one but I noticed the Engine cover did not come with ours. I went to Ford and they say it didn't come from factory with and engine cover but yet this one has it over the 2.0.
They told me the first 2020's had the cover but newer versions did not. I had the same question when I saw videos here. You can get a cover for it but it's not needed.
The hybrid escape is absolutely horrible you can’t get out of its own way originally that’s what I was looking at till I drove it then drove the 2 L eco-boost no comparison the 2 L eco-boost wins hands-down!
Whatever you do don’t go for the hybrid thing is slower than whale spit LOL! That was the first thing we tried and we were very unhappy with the way it performed the regular 2 L eco-boost engine it really moves the vehicle along well
I’m about to go look at a Ford Escape 2020 titanium for 26k. If it drives well and has no problems I’m going to make an offer. Any advice on how to negotiate lol?
Really read up on that. Ford escape and ecoboost turbo in general do much better with high quality gas, or high octane gas. I'm probably not wording it right, but, it's really, really worth reading up on. I was pretty surprised.
Best looking Ford Escape ive seen in my whole life. Never considered a escape until now.
I said the same thing!
This was the BEST review I’ve seen of this vehicle. Great job 👏
I appreciate the positive feedback :D and your time!
I'm that guy coming into a car from the 90s, so thanks for the excellent content and attention to detail.
Thanks for watching! Good luck car shopping
I just bought this escape a couple days ago and i luv it. The interior and all the xtra features. 👍
I see you high roller with the Titanium :D,Congrats and enjoy!
@@LJsGarage thanx

That's a great point! I have to borrow that for future videos I never realized how common that is around the Midwest when I lived out there.

That's interesting I never thought about it but I know on the focus lower trims sometimes come without the cover 🤔
@@LJsGarage . Thanks for reply.

Honest now after thinking about it, I feel the heat can dissipate better with no cover.

Remote starts aren’t saving any trees lol
You right 🥲

Car Gurus and see what's around the area and use those prices to make sure you're getting a fair deal!
I’m Shopping for a car Debating between this and escape titanium.
Honestly this is one of those cars once you get in you'll know if it's for you or not!
Does Titanium requires premium gasoline?
Regular is all it needs!
Really read up on that. Ford escape and ecoboost turbo in general do much better with high quality gas, or high octane gas.
I'm probably not wording it right, but, it's really, really worth reading up on. I was pretty surprised.
Yes it has dual exhaust baby LOL! Still sounds like a sewing machine but what can you expect out of a four-cylinder.
I have to laugh when you said a place for your maps who the hell uses maps these days when every car seems to have GPS? LOL!
Haha honestly though, but I couldn't think of what else goes there
1.5 is a 3 cyl
Not fried chicken

Never
That's fair lol
