I’m planning on upgrading my wheels, but I’ve heard mixed things about whether or not hub centric rings are necessary. Has anyone here installed aftermarket wheels on their Escape without the rings? If so, did you notice any vibrations or other issues at highway speeds? I want to avoid any problems, so I’d appreciate any advice from those who’ve been through this!

I’m thinking about upgrading from the stock halogens, but I’m not sure what will fit best. Has anyone switched to LEDs or something else on their 2017 model? I want something brighter, but I’m also concerned about making sure they fit properly in the housing. Any suggestions on brands or specific models that have worked well for you?

Got the WeatherTech mats for my hybrid Escape, and they fit like a glove. No more dirt or slush getting into the carpet. Seriously, if you’ve got kids or pets, these are a lifesaver. Anyone tried Husky mats though? I’m wondering how they compare. Either way, they’re worth the investment to keep things clean.

I’m thinking of getting a steering wheel cover for the winter, but I want to make sure I get the right size. Has anyone bought a cover for their 2016 Titanium, and if so, did it fit well? Also, any recommendations on brands that are easy to put on and keep your hands warm during cold mornings? I don’t want to end up with one that’s too tight or doesn’t stay in place. Thanks in advance!

Which wipers fit the 2015 Ford Escape? I need to replace mine, and I’m not sure what size or brand would be the best fit. Has anyone had good luck with a particular brand? I live in an area that gets a lot of rain, so I’m looking for something that lasts and doesn’t streak or make a ton of noise. Any suggestions for wipers that work well with the 2015 Escape would be awesome!

Alright, modding Escape fans, what have you done to your rides? I’m thinking about upgrading the exhaust for a bit more sound, maybe a cold air intake for better performance. Has anyone done these on the 2022 model? Also curious if anyone's swapped out the wheels or done suspension mods. Trying to give mine a little more character without going overboard.

I'm planning to do my own oil changes and want to make sure I get the right amount before I start. Also, does anyone know if there’s a specific oil type that works best for this engine? I’ve seen some conflicting advice online, so I’d rather hear from someone who’s done it themselves. Any tips for a smooth oil change would be appreciated too!

So, I’ve got the 2.0L turbo in my Escape, and it can tow up to 3,500 lbs, which is actually pretty impressive for its size. I used it to pull a small camper last weekend, and it handled it like a champ. You can definitely feel the weight when you're going up hills, but it wasn’t struggling at all. Anyone else doing some towing with their Escape?

I'm considering buying one, and I’m curious how it performs in terms of fuel efficiency. Does anyone know what kind of MPG I should expect for city and highway driving? I’ve seen some numbers online, but I’d love to hear from actual owners about what they’re getting. Also, does driving style impact the mileage significantly with the hybrid model? Any feedback would be great!

Guys, the interior of the 2023 Escape is seriously nice. I was surprised! Got the leather-trimmed seats in mine, and they’re way more comfortable than I expected. The digital display is cool too, though sometimes I miss just having actual buttons (you know, for when my hands are freezing and touchscreen doesn’t wanna cooperate 😂). Overall, the cabin is quiet and roomy—perfect for road trips
