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.

  I Love My Escape! - 2004 Ford Escape
  By D.Lewis - June 11 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Escape for about 7 months now and I love it! We had an Aerostar mini-van and a 150 pick-up prior. My husband and I decided to buy new vehicles again and living in Colorado, 4X4s are the way to go. He upgraded his truck to a 250 4X4 V10 but I wanted something with better fuel economy than that, so after many reviews and discussions, the Escape won. Its excellent for work, errands and going into the mountains. It has all the space I need for shopping too! I would definately recommend the Escape to anyone. The Escape is another Ford product that tops the list on smaller suvs and keeps the Ford name at its best and something to be proud of!

  My first Escape - 2004 Ford Escape
  By Joe R - March 23 - 2:00 am

  My first SUV and am very happy with the Escape. The automatic 4WD is easy for my wife to use on those snowy Northeast days. Power is more than adequate, interior and exterior design is excellent as well as build quality. Very fun to drive and is a good vehicle for those not wanting or cant afford the bigger trucks. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

  Bought this car brand new and have never had any problems, just regular maintenance, still going strong. Hope to get a lot more miles out of the car, now has 87,000 miles, maybe get 200,000?

  Smart Shoppers New Toy - 2004 Ford Escape
  By Ray Reep - September 27 - 2:00 am

  I love this vehicle! What more can I say. It goes great in the snow and has done everything I have asked it to flawlessly. I can only find two flaws. Excessive road noise and the doors do not have an "outer" weather seal.The door jams and sills are allways a mess and need hand cleaned.

  First SUV - 2004 Ford Escape
  By motionman - August 15 - 2:00 am

  Ride is smooth, not too much body lean for a fairly hefty vehicle. Pick up is responsive. Interior is pleasant, comfortable, with the only major problem being the gearshift in the way of the audio controls (will be fixed on the 05 model.). Gas mileage is not terrible for a SUV this heavy with a v- 6. Exterior is well made, no cheap plastics or easily scratched paint. The four-wheel drive system is made for daily commuting/travelling..not made for four wheel off-road adventures. Interior road noise is noticeable, but not overwhelming. Overall, I am very satisfied with this vehicle, great performance for a relatively cheap pricetag.

  I love it - 2004 Ford Escape
  By apple annie - August 15 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving the 2003 for several months, both on the road and in town. I love the way it handles and it is great for shopping. My husband who did not want me to buy it, loves it and drives it all the time. It is great on the highway also, good mileage, comfortable and easy to handle.
