The Right ChoiceFord Certified Pre-OwnedBefore you hit the road in a Certified Pre-Owned Ford vehicle, we put every car, truck, SUV and crossover to the test. Only the vehicles that pass our 172-point inspection become Ford Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles.
Why Ford CPO?• The Ford Certified Pre-Owned Program takes
the risk out of buying a previously owned vehicle. Driving a Ford CPO vehicle means driving with the knowledge and confidence that the vehicle you purchased has been thoroughly inspected and comes with manufacturer-backed limited-warranty coverage
• Ford cars, SUVs, crossovers and trucks (up to 350-Series) that are current or five previous model years and have less than 80,000 miles can qualify
• 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty Coverage
• 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty Coverage
• 172 points of inspection by certified mechanics
• Vehicle History Report
• 24-hour roadside assistance
• A full tank of fuel, fresh oil and filter, and new wiper blades at delivery
• Service available at any Ford or Lincoln Dealer in the 50 states and Canada
The BenefitsIn addition to peace of mind, each Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with these benefits:
• Warranty – In addition to 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty coverage, every Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle also comes with 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty coverage (ask your dealer for warranty details)
• 172-Point Inspection – Before any vehicle can be called a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, it must pass a stringent 172-point inspection. Factory-trained technicians recondition any component that does not meet program standards, or they replace it with only new Ford Motorcraft® or Ford Authorized Replacement parts. Ask your dealer for a copy of the Vehicle Inspection Checklist
• Vehicle History Report – You’ll definitely know your history when you purchase a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. As part of the 172-point inspection process, a Vehicle History Report is run to identify any vehicle that does not meet Ford Certified Pre-Owned standards. Ask your dealer for a copy of this report
• Roadside Assistance – Roadside assistance is offered for the full duration of the Limited Warranty Coverage. That’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in case of a breakdown, blowout or bad weather. Roadside assistance includes:
– Travel expense reimbursement of up to $500 for up to three days of lodging, meals and rental vehicle
– Destination expense assistance of up to $75 to cover the emergency cost of a taxi, shuttle or rental car to get to your destination
– Rental car reimbursement of up to $30 per day for up to five days if the vehicle requires overnight mechanical repairs

2013 Ford Escape
All-new, featuring fuel-
efficient EcoBoost engines.
By Sam Moses
Overview
The 2013 Ford Escape is a total redesign that moves the top-selling compact SUV into the times,
with high-tech small engines, a smooth 6-speed transmission, aerodynamic front styling, and
electronic wizardry. Ford claims 11 features exclusive to the Escape in the compact SUV class,
everything from a capless fuel nozzle to Torque Vectoring Control, which helps the Escape
corner more securely.
Gas prices have fueled the compact SUV market (in Europe it's quadrupled in the last decade), so
this is a class that's important to Ford's ongoing rebound, and they've pulled out all the stops to
make the Escape good.
Fuel mileage varies from an EPA-estimated 23 City/33 Highway mpg with the 1.6-liter front-
wheel drive Escape to 21/28 mpg with the 2.0-liter all-wheel drive. We drove both versions and
fell below those marks, however, averaging 22.7 mpg in the 1.6-liter and 19.7 mpg in the 2.0-
liter, while driving them spiritedly. That's still better than a comparably equipped Honda CR-V
or Toyota RAV4, and good enough that the Escape Hybrid has been abandoned.
The 2013 Escape lineup features three engines, including the returning tried-and-true 2.5-liter,
less powerful and efficient but with a lower MSRP than the new EcoBoost engines. The four-
cylinder EcoBoosts make their North American debut in the Escape, although they've been
running in Europe for three years. There's a 1.6-liter making 178 horsepower and 2.0-liter
making 240 hp, both twin-turbos with direct injection and twin independent variable camshaft
timing (Ti-VCT), although having different designs.
This review is a Tale of Two Escapes, because we found the 1.6-liter FWD to feel completely
different from the 2.0-liter AWD. The 1.6 is quick, lively and visceral, a blast to drive. The 2.0-
liter AWD feels more grownup, civilized, solid, heavy. If you want a four-cylinder compact SUV
that feels like a midsize V6, the Escape is for you.
Creature comfort is impeccable, even with the standard fabric upholstery, rugged and handsome.
The chassis is 40 percent stiffer, and the ride is smooth. The interior materials are soft, and the
plastic high quality. Rear legroom is decent, at 36.8 inches, and rear climate control is standard
in all but the base S model. There's excellent cargo space, 68.1 cubic feet behind the first row
and 34.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and the standard 60/40 rear seat folds flat
wonderfully fast, with one lever.
The nose of the new 2013 Escape is distinctive, sort of aero stubby, with the blue oval emblem in
its wide narrow grille to say it's a Ford. Although the Escape emulates its big brother the
Explorer SUV, its new nose more resembles its little brother the Focus hatchback. The hood has
nice character lines, and the headlights sweep sharply back and up into muscular wheelwells.
One clever innovation that others are already copying is an available magic release for the
liftgate. Kick your foot under the rear bumper, and presto, the liftgate pops open so you can drop
your heavy things into the back without having to set them down. It's a feature we like, and
would buy, although you can do the same with a remote keyfob that opens the liftgate, that is if
you remember to carry it in your hand with your thumb over the button when you leave the
grocery store with your arms full.
We'll save the worst for last, in this overview. MyFordTouch has been totally redesigned after its
disastrous first generation in 2011, and you can now get the new program downloaded for free in
your 2011-12 Ford, so definitely do that. The new version, as they say, is simpler and the screen
is cleaner. And to be sure, we have, at times, gotten it to work for us. But it still ain't easy, and
you need a real sense of humor to talk to Voice Command. It's kind of like talking to your
teenagers, and getting them to do their chores.
Well, there is more in the good news department. Last but not least, the price for the Escape has
actually come down. The base S model has dropped by $200, while Ford claims the SE has
$1000 more content for only $200 more, and the SEL has $2300 more content for $1500 more.
Model Lineup
The 2013 Escape comes in four models, S, SE, SEL, Titanium, with three DOHC four-cylinder
engines and one 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift manual operation.
Escape S is front-wheel drive, using Ford's trusty 2.5-liter engine making 168 horsepower.
Standard equipment includes cloth upholstery, manual climate control, manual front seat
adjustment, full power, keyless entry, cruise control, 60/40 fold-flat rear seats, 6-speaker single-
CD sound system with MP3 capability, info display, tilt/telescope steering wheel, Halogen
headlamps, black grille and door handles, and 17-inch steel wheels.
Escape SE uses the 1.6-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost engine making 178 horsepower, and comes
either with front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. It adds body-color door handles and mirrors,
chrome bar grille, Ford SYNC voice-activated communications and entertainment system,
satellite radio, auto headlamps, keyless entry, 4-inch color screen, privacy glass, reclining rear
seats, audio controls on steering wheel, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Escape SEL adds leather upholstery, 9-speaker audio system, chrome body trim, gloss black
interior trim, leather shift knob, heated mirrors, puddle lamps, MyFordTouch, 10-way power
driver's seat, heated front seats, and 18-inch painted alloy wheels.
Escape Titanium comes with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine making 240 horsepower, in either
front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It adds ambient lighting, remote start, premium leather, HID
headlamps, power liftgate, silver roofrails, backup sensor, upgraded Sony sound system with HD
radio, and 19-inch painted alloy wheels.
Standard safety equipment includes AdvanceTrac traction and stability control with roll stability
control, Curve Control, Torque Vectoring Control, two-stage frontal airbags, driver knee airbag,
side airbags, ABS with Brake Assist, tire pressure monitor.
Walkaround
There's no mistaking that the 2013 Escape is a new car, and it's
got the blue oval in its wide narrow grille to say it's a Ford. Its
nose is more like little sister Focus, rather than big brother
Explorer. Aero and almost stubby, looking like it's meant for the
business of efficient hauling. Character lines on the hood
suggesting a cowl. The headlights are sharply angled under
sheetmetal speed lines like eyebrows, and sweep back and up into the muscular wheelwells.
The bottom two-thirds of the face is a gaping black mouth in split fascia. It conceals a Ford
innovation, sensor-controlled shutters behind the grille that regulate air into the engine for
optimum efficiency and maximum fuel mileage.
The rear end doesn't keep up with the new slick front. It looks big and bulky for the size of the
car, with lines going in three directions; it's as if the sheetmetal were shaped to match the
taillights, including the indent for the license plate, like an upside-down triangle with the point at
bottom chopped off. The standard dual exhaust is cool with the pipes back there, but the cladding
in gray looks like a big silver lump hanging out the back.
But there's something hiding under that cladding that's great. It's an option that opens or closes
the wide liftgate (low liftover height) with a small kick of your foot under the rear bumper, using
a seeing-eye like the one that flushes toilets in public rest rooms (Ford press materials call it
video-game technology). Hands-free technology where you need it most. With the Escape you'll
never have to set down your armsful of groceries to put them in the back. It's a first we like, and
would buy.
We also like that overall on the three models, there's lots of black eggcrate and not so much
chrome. Don't like so much the gray or black plastic cladding that surrounds every model. The
19-inch alloy wheels try way too hard to look out there, while the steel 17s on the base SE are
the least ugly.
Interior Features
The rugged fabric seats are the
best! And since the available
MyFordTouch remains
problematic (we'll get to that),
those excellent seats open the door to happy purchase of the S
model. If you have good standard seats, you can live
without options that just cost money and complicate operation of the car.
The driver's throne is good, with a high seating position, excellent visibility all around with that
short hood, big back glass, and no over-the shoulder blind spots. Speaking of blind spots, the
small convex mirrors in the upper corners of the sideview mirrors catch everything in the lanes at
your rear quarter panels, more accurately than any electronic blind-spot warning system that
constantly sends false alarms like they all do. But if your eyes just can't learn to read a convex
mirror, the BLIS system is an option on the Escape, too. The best thing about it is that it includes
Cross-Traffic Alert, which spots cars passing by your tailgate as you back out of a parking space.
The driver gets a nice dead pedal, comfortable armrests on both sides, and a good grab handle.
Gauges are clean and attractive with pretty blue needles. Unlike the expensive Jaguar, Ford's rich
former sibling, there are actual fuel and temperature gauges. There's a small rectangular window
for information, scrolled through using arrows and a dial on the steering wheel, like all Fords,
and like Jaguar, the shared switchgear remains.
The turn signal sound is a classy Jaguar-like dink dink dink. You can hear the soft sound because
the Escape is exceptionally quiet. Great job, there.
A small shift lever is dropped down out of the way. There's a SelectShift button on the side of
the lever, controlling manual operation of the automatic transmission. We've complained about
this same button on the Mustang, only because paddles are needed on the Mustang for fast
shifting; but on the Escape this thumb-button is just fine.
It's a good standard steering wheel, often a disappointment in base-level cars but not here. The
four-spoke wheel is okay in base vinyl, with places for your whole palms at 2 and 10 o'clock,
and the full array of controls. Overall, the interior materials are soft, and the plastic around the
centerstack is high quality.
There's more cargo space in the rear, compared to the previous Escape, now totaling 68.1 cubic
feet behind the first row and 34.3 cubic feet behind the second row. Legroom has stretched by
1.2 inches to 36.8, not a lot but maybe average for a compact SUV. Rear climate control is
standard, except in the S. A center armrest with cupholders is available.
The best thing about the rear seats is how easily they fold flat, with one lever. Oh joy oh joy.
There's an available two-position load floor, allowing a flat floor or maximum luggage volume.
It took a great deal of self-discipline to write our critique of MyFordTouch and voice command;
we had to transcribe long rants from the tape recorder we use to make notes while we're driving.
We'll try to keep the complaints brief.
MyFordTouch gives you 27 touch-screen buttons to choose from, when you're trying to adjust
climate control, which is resistant to adjustment. From the subliminal brain's standpoint, that's 27
decisions to make. We COULD NOT get it to maintain a comfortable temperature. Set at auto 71
degrees, it blew cold air with too much fan. We increased the setting to 74, and the temp
remained the same, but the fan got stronger. We tried and tried, different ways, but it would not
cooperate. All those buttons, each one requiring a decision and translation or interpretation. We
gave up not knowing if the problem was with the setting or with the HVAC itself.
Next we wanted to tune the radio. At least there were only 18 touch-screen buttons to choose
from. We tried many of them, to no avail, while we continued to be distracted from our driving.
We noted with exasperation into the recorder, "All I want to do is get something to appear on this
screen that enables me to change the channel."
OMG, there it was. We pressed an icon that looked like a terrier dog sitting there waiting for a
milk bone. We had it. Because we had no idea how we got it, we lost it, and next time we wanted
to change radio channels, it took us another 20 miles on the freeway.
Ford says these buttons are easy to press, but they aren't. The radio buttons are small enough that
you have to really look, and use eye/hand coordination away from the highway; unlike with an
old-school knob, there's no keeping your eyes on the road and grabbing the dial and turning it.
With MyFordTouch (and all touch-screen systems like it, notoriously worse being Land Rover
and Volvo), you have to look down and carefully aim your finger into a small little rectangle,
and if the road is bumpy the car will bounce and your finger will quite possibly miss. Notice you
don't see little buttons in race cars.
Of course, there are audio controls on the steering wheel, and we've found them to work better,
once you figure them out. But we're talking about MyFordTouch here.
They say the screen is carefully designed. But 40 percent of the screen is taken up by black
space, wasted. Two-thirds of the rest is taken up by nothing more than the logo for the radio
station, then twice it says the name of the show. And then a word that says ALERT. Set alerts,
refresh alerts, edit alerts, enable all alerts, who cares; we'll alert you when we want to be alerted.
The back button is a tiny little button on the top of the screen. It should be on every page but it's
not, so you can't keep going back and trying again to find something that works. It's a dumb
design.
Soon the audio completely stopped working. While the screen indicated we were turned to the
NASCAR station, we were getting static from FM-land. We pressed SIRIUS again and got FM
again. Maybe it was the Cascade Mountains over our shoulder, who knows. And then the heat
seemed to come on by itself.
We messed with it constantly, trying to get what we wanted during a day trip into the city, 50
miles each way. We gave Voice Command a shot.
"Air condition on," we said, at 65 mph. Apparently it doesn't speak our language, only Ford's,
because it replied, "Please say a command." It immediately referred us to an 800 number and a
URL. Like we're supposed to write them down without crashing? But we cooperated, and tried
again, saying, "Temperature 69 degrees." It responded by giving us a bunch of advice, and
reminding us we could get the phone to work and other things we didn't write down. "Please say
a device," it said.
We said … "Climate?"
It said, "A list of valid voice commands is now on the screen." We took our eyes off the road and
studied the list.
"Sixty-nine degrees," we said, so clear and slow you could hear the condescension in our voice.
"Eighty-nine degrees is not a valid command," it said.
We tried three more times, and got nothing but backtalk from our Ford. We asked in
exasperation, "What can we say?" and the screen responded with a list of all the nearby gas
stations with their prices for fuel. Cool. Except what we wanted was to listen to the radio station
of our choice at the temperature of our choice.
It may be that our description and experience here is all wrong, because we didn't operate it
correctly. If so, that's the point. We have compared our experiences with MFT and Voice
Command (not just Ford's, but all of 'em) with many others, and we are not alone.
The good news is that if you get the entry-level Escape S model, you won't get MyFordTouch,
and you won't ever be verbally abused by Voice Command unless you ask for it. Or you can just
avoid using Voice Command.
Driving Impressions
The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers good power at
high revs for those who like to wind it up, and decent torque for
acceleration when you need it at any speed. With a balance shaft
to offset vibration, it's smooth. It delivers 10 less horsepower
than the 1.6-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost, 14 less foot-pounds of
torque, and 2 less miles per gallon. The 2.5-liter engine is about
keeping the purchase price down.
When we first drove a front-wheel-drive 1.6-liter EcoBoost, we were impressed by its quickness.
With 178 horsepower this good, who needs 240? we asked aloud, thinking of the 2.0-liter
EcoBoost we would drive next. The word that came to mind to describe the way the 1.6 gets
around is scoots, and it scoots all the way up to redline.
The ride in the 1.6-liter front-wheel-drive model was smooth, while at the same time it felt like it
wanted to dance. It darts but doesn't jerk, and you get used to it. There was a bouncy motion to
the suspension, but it wasn't harsh or disturbing, unlike the back seat of the Explorer we rode in
from the airport. It's very nimble, and we love how it handles on two-lanes.
That's probably Torque Vectoring Control at work, an impressive feature for a compact SUV. It
uses the stability control module to monitor the dynamics 100 times per second; when the front
inside wheel starts to slip in a corner, brake is applied to that wheel, balancing the grip with the
left front wheel and reducing understeer.
Torque Vectoring works with standard Curve Control, which is like electronic stability control,
only quicker; it senses when a vehicle is entering a curve too fast, and cuts power and/or applies
braking to individual wheels to reduce speed by up to 10 mph in one second. Think freeway on-
ramps or off-ramps, especially in the wet.
The brakes are quite aggressive, or rather we should say the sensors that control the brakes are
aggressive, because the mechanical feel to the pedal is just right, nicely progressive. But as we
dabbed the brakes before corners on the twisty road, it felt like they were surging and biting.
Once we felt the stability control come on, and it actually made a tire chirp when it braked just
one wheel.
In some challenging choppy switchbacks, the suspension did good job of smoothing it all out.
We assume that Torque Vectoring Control was at work, but we didn't feel it.
The automatic 6-speed transmission kicks down into 5th on the freeway quite a bit, unnecessarily
we think, but they all do that, even way powerful cars; the more gears there are, the more the
transmission tries to get out of top gear. We tried to keep it in 6th by shifting to Sport/Manual
mode, to no avail. We tested its tolerance by slowing down to 40 mph in 6th gear and flooring it;
it downshifted to 4th gear, while indicating in the digital window that it was in 5th.
It makes us realize that Sport/Manual mode is a paradox. In a "sport" mode, a driver would want
the transmission to downshift aggressively; in a "manual" mode, he or she would not.
Our run in the 1.6 included a lot of relaxed driving, so for much of the time our throttle foot was
light, but we only averaged 22.7 miles per gallon. It's EPA-rated at 23 city/33 highway.
Our Escape 2.0-liter EcoBoost felt like a totally different car: heavier, more solid, less visceral.
The handling is slower and suspension steadier than the 1.6, which most buyers will probably be
more comfortable with. The 2.0 Escape feels substantial, for a compact SUV. However, we
should point out that our 2.0 was all-wheel drive, and the 1.6 was front-wheel drive, and maybe
that explains more about the feel of the car than the engine. Tires and wheels are different, also,
with 17-inch wheels on the 1.6, 19-inch wheels on the 2.0.
The all-wheel-drive system is new, with sensors that analyze data from 25 signals, 20 times
faster than the blink of an eye, and deliver torque to the wheels as needed, through a new torque
converter and electromagnetic clutch.
The 2.0-liter is not just a bigger version of the 1.6. Although both are turbocharged, direct-
injected, 16-valve, aluminum four-cylinders, they're from different engine families; the 1.6 is the
older Sigma design, the 2.0 is Duratec. The 2.0 feels like a V6, compared to the 1.6. Using
different turbochargers, the 1.6 has a steeper torque curve, further adding to its quickness and
visceral feel. The 1.6 makes 184 pound-feet or torque at 2500 rpm, while the 2.0 makes 270
pound-feet at 3000. We can't say we felt that big difference, but you sure will if you tow
anything. Properly equipped, the 2.0 Escape can tow 3500 pounds, which is a lot for a four-
cylinder compact SUV.
Even having 62 more horsepower, 240 hp vs. 178 hp, the 2.0-liter Escape doesn't feel much
faster in a straight line; and maybe ours wasn't, because of a taller rear axle ratio. The 1.6 FWD
comes with a 3.21 final drive, the 2.0 AWD with a long-legged 3.07, which didn't help fuel
mileage much; we got 19.7 mpg with the 2.0. It's EPA-rated at 21 City/28 Highway with all-
wheel drive.
Transmissions are the same on the 1.6 and 2.0, but programmed differently, the 2.0 sportier. Like
the Ford Taurus SHO (but not the Mustang), it has rev-matching downshifting, meaning you'll
hear a little blip from the engine as it goes in gear smoothly, when you manually downshift it
hard. And like the SHO, sometimes it upshifts curiously. Once, in Sport/Manual mode, with our
foot on the floor and racing to redline, it upshifted on its own into 4th gear at about 4200 rpm,
immediately after reaching redline no problem in 3rd. The SHO did the exact same thing. These
quirky and contradictory transmission habits usually get down to one engineer in the
development team, that automotive journalists rarely can reach to ask why.
Summary
The all-new Ford Escape offers three four-cylinder engines, most
notably the 240-hp EcoBoost 2.0-liter four-cylinder twin-turbo
EPA-rated at 21/28 mpg with an available sophisticated new
AWD system. There's one smooth 6-speed manual automatic
transmission for all models. The 1.6-liter EcoBoost is quick,
lively and visceral; while the 2.0 feels like a V6. Classy interior,
excellent handling, plenty of cargo space with rear seats that fold
down with one touch. MyFordTouch and Voice Command remain problematic. An Escape SE
model with the 1.6-liter engine is the way we'd go, to get most of the virtues at the lowest price.
Sam Moses filed this report after his test drive of the Ford Escape in the Pacific Northwest.

2013 Ford Escape S 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Review
Fantastic vehicle! Acceleration is quick and very responsive, leather seats are very comfortable,
has every feature one could ever want in a car right now and also has good gas mileage. Ford
Touch has worked great for the moment and I haven't had any issues like I read about. Hopefully
that will continue. I really don't have any complaints at the moment.
Favorite Features
Ecoboost engine, leather interior, blindspot monitoring, My Ford Touch.
Suggested Improvements
Brake pedal and accelerator are a bit close like other people have mentioned, but it's really not a
huge deal to me.

CARFAX Price Adjustment™
Accidents, service records, number of owners and many other history factors can affect a vehicle's value. The CARFAX Price
Adjustment is a tool that analyzes millions of used car transactions to measure how the combination of all the information reported to
CARFAX affects the value of a particular vehicle. The vehicle's retail book value plus the CARFAX Price Adjustment will give you a
more accurate measure of the vehicle's value. Use this tool, along with a vehicle inspection and test drive, to make a better decision
about your next used car.

First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
Ford or Lincoln Mercury Recall
The Ford Motor Company provides Carfax with recall information regarding safety, compliance and emissions programs announced
since 2000 for a specific vehicle. For complete information regarding programs or concerns about this vehicle, please contact a local
Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealer.
Manufacturer Recall
Automobile manufacturers issue recall notices to inform owners of car defects that have come to the manufacturer's attention. Recalls
also suggest improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a particular vehicle. Most manufacturer recalls can be repaired
at no cost to you.
Ownership History
CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes
in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history.
Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1994 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers
sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.
Title Issued
A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration
record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are used
as proof of ownership.
