Intelligent AWD for Steep Oneonta Hills
Winter weather along the I-88 corridor brings rapid temperature drops and sudden snow squalls. The Ford Escape offers available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with selectable drive modes, including Slippery and Deep Snow/Sand. The system detects wheel slippage instantly, automatically disconnecting the rear driveline when traction is clear to conserve fuel, and engaging all four wheels when roads get treacherous.
EcoBoost Efficiency for Long Commutes
Whether you are driving local routes or making frequent runs between Oneonta, Cooperstown, and Binghamton, the Escape helps keep fuel costs down. Powered by Ford’s responsive 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engines, the Escape achieves up to an EPA-estimated 34 MPG on the highway, delivering punchy passing power without excessive fuel stops.
Sliding Second-Row Seating Versatility
Need extra room for college move-in days, camping trips to Gilbert Lake State Park, or shopping hauls from the Southside Mall? The Escape features an innovative sliding second row that glides back to offer best-in-class second-row legroom, or slides forward to dramatically increase rear cargo volume without folding down the seats.
