Can you configure the magic foot wave tailgate with a hitch?

Can we get a manual transmission?

What's the highest price you can spec one to?

Can you hatch a good escape plan with the Escape?

Ok, I'll bite. Why does this three year old design look dated, whereas the previous Escape looked fine even though the exterior was basically unchanged from its introduction?

Probably better than a lot of other vehicles in the lineup, has the LATCH system and all that, and a lot of room in the rear so you can put your child in there easier.

If you had a chicken, a wolf, and an Escape, how would you get them across the river if when the wolf is left with the chicken, the wolf will eat the chicken and if you leave anything alone with the Escape, the Escape will run them both over.

No manual, I know, I was kinda bummed.

The liftgate sensor won't be available on the Escape until late 2014, apparently.

Low to mid $40ks, I believe.

That actually sounds convenient. I personally don't have kids, but a guy I work with was looking into one.

We have them as fleet vehicle, I haven't driven one, but I did notice the shifter says "M" or something like that if you pull the lever all the way back. I didn't see any paddle shifters or anything though. Am I just crazy or is that an option?

Coty > Deal Killer - Powered by Focus 03/03/2014 at 14:22

I honestly don't think it looks dated. I like it for what it is.

Garrett Davis > Deal Killer - Powered by Focus 03/03/2014 at 14:23

Huh? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who preferred the previous gen to this new one. Especially interior wise, this new one is a massive improvement in build quality.

Coty > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower 03/03/2014 at 14:23

Oh a manual?

No, but there is SelectShift so you can choose what gear it's in. No clutch, and the up/down is on the side of the shift knob, kind of how some mouses are.

Coty > EL_ULY 03/03/2014 at 14:25

Not sure, it won't be available on Escape until late 2014.

The Titanium has a liftgate opener on the fob, though.

Oh I didn't buy one, I just started at a dealership and I'm learning the Escape today.

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > Coty 03/03/2014 at 14:26

Ah. That makes sense. Maybe that's why I didn't notice it. Does it make any sort of a difference on a spirited drive or anything? I know it isn't a sports car, but do you notice a difference between using that in a hard acceleration versus just regular auto?

Coty > Garrett Davis 03/03/2014 at 14:26

I love the inside of the Titanium. Gloss black trim is where it's at.

I only took it for a short ride because the low fuel light was on. Did not have a chance to try the SelectShift.

I would sooner use it for when you're on ice or something and you wanted to keep it in 1st or 2nd myself.

Is the 2014 Escape Titanium still 2.0T-only? Does the 2.0T come with the active grille shutters found on the 1.6T?

Can it still only be had with a partial- or full-leather black interior, doing without the beige full-leather option that can be had in the 2013 Escape SEL?

Are the HID headlights and 19" wheels not available separately, despite no longer being standard?

Coty > SonorousSpeedJoe 03/03/2014 at 14:39

1.6T with optional 2.0T

I think it's black leather only to go with the gloss black trim. Full leather, though.

Available separate, but you have to get the Technology Package for the HIDs.

I figure that's what it's mostly used for, but it never hurts to try. Haha. Thanks for the answer!

2 for 3 , ignoring the grille shutters question since I edited that into my initial post.

The 2013 Titanium was basically the 2013 SEL 2.0T with HIDs, 19" wheels, and black interiors only. Thus, Ford eliminated the SEL trim and black partial-leather interior for 2014 and made the 1.6T EcoBoost and black full-leather interior standard on the Titanium; the 2013 SEL's Medium Light Stone full-leather interior was added to the 2014 Titanium's options list, while the previously standard 2.0T EcoBoost, HIDs and 19" wheels were made optional.

What size are the brake rotors? How much do replacement headlight bulbs cost? How much will it cost for me to put it on 'bags?

Coty > SonorousSpeedJoe 03/03/2014 at 14:52

Oh, yeah I didn't see the grille shutters. I know the 2.0T doesn't get those though.

I'll have to go look at a Medium Light Stone interior.

I just got back in from looking at a panorama roof.

Not a lot of demand for it in this segment. It has SelectShift, though, so you can select your gear. Just no clutch.

They are potato sized.

Bulbs range from 15 pence to 15 golden bars.

Bags are free of charge.

I have the foot activated lift gate on my 2013 Ti. Are you referencing with a hitch? That I don't have.

Are you sure about the foot wave option? My Grandma has a 2014 Escape that has the foot wave opening, that she bought in September 2013.

Does it have LED plate lights? To continue with the LED theme, does it have LED rear braking lights? Do it have lights under the mirrors?

Yeah, I was wrong. Standard on Titanium.
