Overview & Reviews

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.

• Powerful V6, large cargo capacity, comfortable interior, carlike handling.

• Weak standard four-cylinder engine, bland interior design, small gas tank size limits range.

  Fits me - 2004 Ford Escape
  By rcadwell - August 17 - 2:00 am

  this is my first SUV. I like the compactness of it, yet lots of storage. Feels good on the road, although, it does feel bumps more than Im use to. The V6 is the only way to go for get up and go. I love the way the drivers and passenger seats feel on my back..very supportive. Gas mileage is something to get use to. But Ill sacrifice a bit for the feel and cargo capablities of this car. Highly recommend it.

  Could be better - 2004 Ford Escape
  By martilk - August 14 - 2:00 am

  Seems reliable and comfortable enough, but has a horrid turing radius and a puny gas tank. The leather seats seem like naughahyde.

  Great vehicle - 2004 Ford Escape
  By VickieW - August 14 - 2:00 am

  I love the Escape. Its not to big and just the right size to carry stuff and get in and out of parking spots. My husband has the F150 4x4 four door, way to big for me. I cant judge the size of the F150, but have no problems with my Escape.

  I love mine! - 2004 Ford Escape
  By leisuretravel - August 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought my escape as soon as the 2005 models came out and I got it fully loaded ....I love it...Im a small woman with a big dog and a son and a husband, it accomodates me perfectly. I had a small convertable before and my son could never see anything from the backseat because it sat so low. Now he sees and comments on everything(hes six). Ill always buy Ford!

  By dulangzvox - August 9 - 2:00 am

  A joy to drive. Comfortable ride with very good handling. Mileage outstanding on road trip from Portland to Reno. The wife drives the Escape the most, she is in love with it! Im disabled and this vehicle is perfect for me to get in and out of. I found it preferable to my pals Honda CRV!!!

  We previously had a 1994 Ford Explorer and decided to try the smaller version, so we got an Escape this time. The gas mileage is so much better. We really love our Escape!!!!

  Excellent - 2004 Ford Escape
  By cindergriff - August 7 - 2:00 am

  This is a great vehicle. Perfect for small families that need reliable transportation. It is very comfortable and spacious, with lots of cargo room. But its also very fun to drive, and surprisingly powerful.

  Last Ford Ill ever buy - 2004 Ford Escape
  By J.L. - August 7 - 2:00 am

  I bought a 2003 New Ford Escape in Virginia Beach at Beach Ford.It was a nightmare. Very poor service and very rude service managers. Could not get a call back from the sales manager or general manager (I paid cash for the car). Milage is way below what it is supposed to be. Ford Corp would do nothing, Beach Ford would do Nothing.It got 14 miles per gallon the first year and has improved to a whopping 20 or so the next year. I have been very disappointed in the vehicle, dealership and Ford Corp. The passenger door would not close and the windshield leaked when I bought the car. Both Beach Ford and the national Ford did very little.

  Liberty vs Escape-no comparison - 2004 Ford Escape
  By LJAS - August 7 - 2:00 am

  I received an Escape XLT as a company vehicle and was highly disappointed! It is more like a minivan than an SUV! The vehicle has a weak 4WD, boring and cheap looking interior, and does not seem sturdy. My new Jeep Liberty Limited on the other hand, has a nice looking leather and chrome interior, sturdy ride with a strong 4WD and is a pleasure to drive. There is absolutely NO COMPARISON! I dont know why the Escape is getting good reviews? It is a minivan with 4WD!
