His car is difficult for me to climb into and I'm usually the driver while he navigates. HE says my Honda is too little for him! Go figure!<br />Take care!<br />Cheryl Ann~~In the low 90's here next week, even the 80's, so it will be delightful!trav4adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411656522344925200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-91824722041347913322015-04-12T14:50:53.067-04:002015-04-12T14:50:53.067-04:00I had a 2001 Ford Escape 4 WD and drove it until I...I had a 2001 Ford Escape 4 WD and drove it until I hit the road in 2011, when I sold it to my son. He finally sold it to an employee last year. It was still a beautiful car (I think) and had no issues. I loved it. It was a kind of silver/champagne color and didn't show the dirt - perfect! I was living in the foothills of the Sierras when I got it, put on snow tires, and never had a problem getting to town in the snow. Of course, it was never towed. <br /><br />I had to laugh at you getting out the summer things - if it doesn't snow. LOL :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-19070638475955319492015-04-12T10:26:32.409-04:002015-04-12T10:26:32.409-04:00Your search is exactly the one we made, with the s...Your search is exactly the one we made, with the same vehicles on the list. You won't fit comfortably in a Liberty - Bill's knees hit the steering wheel, and head bumped the ceiling. The Explorer Sport little pick up I had for a couple years was a hoot to drive, but have no idea how it tows. Our friends tow an Escape Hybrid automatic four down and love it. I think it's a 2009. We still think our 2007 Cherokee is ideal. Nice to see the countryside thawing out :-)Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-44755806060744646512015-04-12T08:50:50.727-04:002015-04-12T08:50:50.727-04:00Years ago I had a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and it...Years ago I had a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and it was my all time favorite car. They quit making that version and I didn't find many good reviews on the later models or on the Ford Escape, for that matter. By then I wasn't looking for 4WD or anticipating anything more than an occasional drive on a gravel road.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-54094544120185964322015-04-12T07:06:50.248-04:002015-04-12T07:06:50.248-04:00It was a wonderful day, the weather making progres...It was a wonderful day, the weather making progress.<br />Good luck with you vehicle search.<br /><br />our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-3366899855000147982015-04-12T00:17:38.454-04:002015-04-12T00:17:38.454-04:00Loved my Explorer but sold it when went fulltiming...Loved my Explorer but sold it when went fulltiming...now tow an Escape and we like the car....but burned up the transmission with only 800 miles on the new 2012 car. Some people have had absolutely no problems towing an Escape, but there are many that have lost transmissions while towing, so be aware. We now have a Remco lube pump to enable towing the Escape and Ford no longer considers them towable.Mary and Tom Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647873723515816360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-89822214547396452602015-04-11T23:00:20.049-04:002015-04-11T23:00:20.049-04:00My good friend Shirley has an Escape and that is t...My good friend Shirley has an Escape and that is the MOST uncomfortable car I've ever ridden in--even more uncomfortable than our jeep! When I traveled for work for some reason my rental car was often an Escape--again, very uncomfortable! Mike and I have had two Explorers--very, very comfortable. We've heard first hand that towing jeep Liberty's is not a good idea. We did tow our Explorer with a dealer added neutral kit for the transfer case--don't know if you can do this with newer models??Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-40186959456029859802015-04-11T22:22:35.261-04:002015-04-11T22:22:35.261-04:00Read the Liberty's reviews....

But it isn't much of a gas mileage getter...Rod Ivers https://www.blogger.com/profile/11622769861928590585noreply@blogger.com
