Ford Escape 2018

FROM
$11,990

The 2018 Ford Escape range of configurations is currently priced from $9,990.

Our most recent review of the 2018 Ford Escape resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft had this to say at the time: This Escape is a nice-looking, albeit a bit dated, unit which is rather comfortable and drives well. It’s not the coolest mid-sized SUV around, but it’s not lagging too far behind the pack leaders either. A few nice touches – including the standard hands-free pack – add to its appeal but the Titanium is probably too much of a merely okay thing to justify its price-tag, especially with no AEB as standard. If I’m shopping for an Escape I’d likely opt for the mid-spec Trend and pay for that optional tech pack to beef up its safety gear.

Changing oil on a Ford Escape

Take it to a Ford dealer or qualified mechanic. Some Ford models need to have the oil drained and refilled within 10 minutes or they will suffer low oil pressure when trying to restart. It isn't worth risking your engine to save a few dollars by servicing it yourself.

How do you remove a radio from a Ford Escape?

Pop the top cover above the screen up, then remove the two fasteners holding the screen to the dashboard. Using a trim removal tool lever out the trim panel holding the vents beside the screen, working down around the base of the touchscreen unit. Unplug the wiring from this piece and set it aside. Remove the four fasteners holding the unit to the dash structure. The screen can then be lifted forward, out and unplugged.
