Yeah, we had a couple older Escapes and before that, Bronco II's, and I can't help thinking they could have been made into a 60's retro-Bronco, since they are scarcer than hen's teeth and bring a fortune if restored! Cut out the wheel wells, lift it (somehow), 33's, install an Ecoboost, hmmmm...."nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself"...2010 Escape. I loved it, and it served us well, but it was time to let it retire. The engine had reached the end of its life, and I was starting to have concerns about it dying for good in the middle of the highway. I always thought that the Escape2G had the best look, and it definitely had more cargo capacity than the others; there's no way I could have fit all of the stuff I fit into that one into the current generation. It's the same reason I opted not to go with the Bronco Sport; not enough trunk space. I'd consider them for a second vehicle, primarily as an around-town/short-trip vehicle.
Welcome RangerTim...sounds better than Taco Tim!
The seat is lower and mine wasn't height adjustable. It had a legs out more like a car position than a truck feel to it. Camry on a truck frame feel. The seats themselves were not bad, but as soon as I sat in the Ranger there was a noticeable difference. Tacoma had original seats so 130K miles could have had something to do with it.
Like your blue Tremor...I want a Tremor, if only to change the bed decal "M" to a "V"...
Thanks. You can custom make decals online and replace the factory ones.
Jeff, I'll volunteer to watch your Bronco, and warm up the engine periodically until you get back!@????I didn’t let it go, but had to put my ‘21 2 door Bronco Badlands into long term storage when I took this assignment. It’s waiting for me in the States when I return.
in the meantime picked up a Gen 6 Ranger WildTrak out here for exploring, 4 wheeling, and road trips. Have been absolutely amazed by the combination of comfort, capability, economy, and performance! Great little truck and, depending on towing capacity and final design may end up getting one when I get home since I can’t take this one with me.
You'll want to move the tires around a bit too, so that they're not always sitting on the same segment. It's a sacrifice, but that's what friends are for, right?
BIG difference!!1998 Ranger splash
