This Year's Model Updates:

The 2004 Ford Escape remains largely unchanged although the price has been lowered on the plush Limited model and certain appearance packages are now available on lower trim levels which, in effect, reduce the final price. Also, Chrome Yellow is no longer a color choice. To eliminate confusion, trim levels and option packages have been consolidated.

Pros:
  • Powerful V6, large cargo capacity, comfortable interior, carlike handling.
Cons:
  • Weak standard four-cylinder engine, bland interior design, small gas tank size limits range.

  • "First and only" - 2004 Ford Escape

    After driving this vehicle, an engine light came on. (100 miles) The vehicle was then taken back to the dealer, where they did not know how to fix the problem( calling the ford "hot line") and refused to give me a written statement "after fixing the problem"

    Bought this car used but the mechanical side of it seems to be great. Gas mileage is terrible for in town. Open road it is okay for a small Suv. Love the way it handles on the open road or in tight traffic areas. It does have alot of power to it. Really fun to drive. I am a sports car person but this Suv can change my mind easily..

  • Fun and sporty - 2004 Ford Escape

    I had been driving an Expedition for 6 years..and previously a Tahoe...went to the escape for fuel economy purposes...had some reservations because of the room i was giving up to drive this car...but in the end...all the other features..and the fact that i save on gas...outweighed the size... Lots of fun to drive, great in the snow, and handles terrific in bad weather...passed a Liberty Jeep on the way home from upstate ny and it was in a ditch..mine stayed on the road..with very slippery conditions....very reliable.
