Used Ford Escape for Sale in Providence, RI

The ford Escape 2005, we purchased used three years ago. We use it for traveling a state over to work daily, fishing trips, camping, metal detecting all over the state through rugged terrain, and it really holds up to the previous Ford we had. For only being a four cylinder, it has enough power to trudge through the biggest snow storms, four wheel drive makes it a breeze. Through off road fishing trips we have had zero problems getting stuck. An addition to the vehicle is the rear window wipers, and plenty of interior lighting. The factory radio is decent with good bass, and the speakers in front and back of the vehicle are superb. I find the truck quite up to date and stylish, sleek to the eye, and not over the top. The check engine light came on once during the summer and the OCD reader, which you can buy or have Auto Zone check the trouble for free, determined it was a simple air conditioner problem. Since owning this truck we have never had to take it to a repair shop, it really is a hard working truck with no major problems. The back seats pull down which give you a ton of room for moving or groceries, I would say about 4 feet of extra space. With New England weather , the undercarriage of most trucks takes a beating, but I have seen no signs of rust thus far, not even on the muffler. Zero leakage on the oil and radiator, and it is also pretty decent on gas mileage. Overall, I would give this truck a 4 out of 5... with the personal opinion of preferring a six cylinder.

The styling is fine on the car. It's not too old of a design, but it's not the newer sporty designs either. I am not a huge fan of the look, but just because the newer models look sportier and more streamlined. The car is very spacious and comfortable in the front. The back seat is rather awkward to sit in, it has ok foot room but it's just very flat. Trunk has an ok amount of room, it's a hatch back SUV but the middle seat doesn't move, and when it does fold down it doesn't fold flat, so it makes putting stuff in the car rather difficult. There are many blind spots on this car, that I really hate. The beams on the back end of the car are very wide and I've actually been in one accident in my life and it was because a pole was hidden behind the huge beams. It hasn't been in the shop that often at 130k miles, but it did have to have the engine replaced near 100k. I hate the gas mileage on this, but I was used to a smaller vehicle, so perhaps this is why. Repair costs are fair. Performance is good, it has good acceleration and braking, it's harder to park because of the size though. It's a big car, so it's not as fun to drive, especially with the gas mileage being bad I don't like taking it for rides unless I have to go somewhere. I always feel in control when driving this vehicle.
