Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

Angry going up hills
Our 2003 Ford Escape has been having problems going up long steep hills in Pennsylvania. It's a 6 cyclinder and you have to floor the pedal and other cars are beeping and passing us. I'm talking about going 45 MPG at the start and slipping back and not being able to keep the speed. Needless to say the gas gauge shows us using alot of gas. Has anyone else had this problem? We were fine when we had the car in NJ but Pa has much steeper hills.

Default Same Issue
bdel - We are having the same issue on hills with our 2002 Escape. There just seems like a huge loss of power. Did you find a solution?
