Thread: 2014 Ford Escape

Tweet

My wife had difficulty getting into our 2010 escape, so I sprung for a 2014 with the 2.0L turbo charged engine. I'm impressed with this little turbo motor. It has 240 HP and 270 lbs-ft of torque. It goes!

In low gear on the six-speed transmission, the final drive ratio is 14.07:1. To have that same final drive ratio, my '68 GTO with M20 Muncie would have needed a 5.49 rear gear.

All that from a motor that's the size of two large Coke bottles.

We traded the F-150 (and it's 32 gallon gas tank) for an Escape last year. Same deal, wifes car... She don't let me near it usually..

Been looking at one for Robin---I picked one up last year for my sister that has bad knee and it was right height to get in and out of plus power seat ----sucker really ran good I took it up over 100 real quick!!!!!!!!!
