I don't think there is a point of trading Mustang for Escape, in that case, he still doesn't have vehicle for towing stuff, so he might just keep Mustang.

I don't know about other people, but I would never buy Escape or any other small SUV, they're just too smal. My best friends mom own 2001 Mitsubishi Montero which is same size as Escape. Montero is so small (interior, trunk ...), my 1997 Dodge Intrepid is bigger. Only good thing about Montero is that it have 4x4.

 

The Escape is a great car for those that need it, but I sure wouldn't trade a Mustang for one, because the payoff wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. That doesn'tean it ouldn't be worth it to someone else, though.

Luckily for us the F-150 is my wifes car (she traded an Explorer for it). It's the best of both worlds, because I keep my mustang.

We kinda live out in the country in an old house, and we're always doing some sort restoration work, so the truck works out well. Plus, she likes pickups a lot.

 

I get a New F150 Every Year at Work for Use as a delivery Truck. I have had all 5.4's Except for one Year I had a 4.6. I could tell the Difference. I reccomend an XLT with a 5.4 Supercab 6.5 Bed. Its Nice to Have the Extra Passenger Room when Needed! I personally do not Reccomend The 4.2.Get a Posi with 3.55 Gears Also.

Ya, i guess that makes sense... best thing to do if possible would be keep the stang and get a truck for when you need it.

 

thats pretty cool about the Escape raceythingie!

definately NOT what i would have expected for the lil feller

 

I rode in a 05 F-150 Lariat with a 4.6 and i WAS NOT impressed, the motor was way underpowered, not enough power to get the truck moving, I'd say go with the 5.4 if you do get an F-150

 

Well, I love my Escape. I've had it about 6 weeks now and I've already used to haul a couple of things that wouldn't have fit in my Mazda6 even with the rear seats folded. I'm extremely pleased with my decision to buy it (although I do miss the "zoom-zoom" feeling sometimes).

 

Just too small for me. If I'm gonna get SUV, then I want at least mid-size, but I would prefer full-size. Escape is bigger compared to Mazda 6, but its just too small (interior, trunk) compared to my Intrepid. Towing capacity and gas mileage is better on Escape, but still in my opinion they're almost useless. I just don't like the fact that SUV is smaller than sedan. I just never saw a point of owning small SUV or Truck, they don't have a lot of space inside, they can't tow a lot, their payload capacity is not that big ...

 

Well, it was the right size for my needs. I couldn't justify that added purchase cost or long-term fuel costs of a larger SUV when the Escape could do everything I need.
