The sports appearance package on the 2012 Escape really does make a difference - to overlook an outdated (at best) design, but, the good news is that the 2013 redesign will change all of that!
"Nowadays, Ford is hitting more home runs, and without any chemical augmentation, either. The 2012 Ford Escape is not exactly one of them, however, as this long-serving platform carries on unchanged until the appearance of a complete redesign slated for next year." (Edmunds.com)

My 2012 has passed the 100K mark and shows no sign of slowing down. Love it. I get about 24 mpg and it makes a great growl when I pass someone on these rural roads. A friend told me to get a V6, they had a 4 cylinder and felt it didn't haul as well. It's funny to hear this guy get all excited about the 2013, which looks like a cockroach with lousy visibility, while slamming the 2012. "Most buyers in this category don't believe in sportiness." Huh? Where did they find him? To me, this was a lousy review, nitpicking tiny things that only matter to the anal-retuentive, while not pointing out how great it is for hauling grandkids and dogs and going camping. Comfortable, loads of room, and the high driver's seat gives you plenty of open space.

Hence the use of the 3.0 Duratec in the Escape. 240HP and a good torque figure. I was talking about the engine in the base Explorers not the Explorers themselves. The Explorers are excellent vehicles in general and it did hurt me to see so many die in the C4C program.

The Escape XLT was widely used by cities and thus were serviced 100% correctly. If you have a used white one? Probably utility company or inspector driven. Bought one last week. 1 owner XLT from a local Ford dealer. 2011, 240 hp, 3.0 V6 with 46,000 VERIFIED miles with FULL servicing documentation. Price was $11,021 total...

I have a love/hate relationship with the new Escape. They should have called it something else and kept the old Escape. I consider the new one nice in a luxurious, family packer way, whereas the old Escape was a bit more practical. And the new one def isn't unique, but the old one was different.

Look, I really don't give a shit about any of those engines you listed. I like the 4.0, I know it's not the most powerful, but I have 204,000 miles on mine and it's still going strong. It gives enough power that I like, anything smaller, I won't bother with. I don't even think they make them anymore. I think they're now the 4.2, which I'd gladly accept.

I never owned a 4.0 in an Explorer because I know it's a POS due to it's low output and harsh qualities. IDC about fuel economy, no car gets the EPA rating anyway and I rather sacrifice some MPGs so I can get power and enjoyment. If I can get that power out of a smaller and well engineered engine then yes I'll go for that. I test drove a BMW 545i with the N62 4.4 with 325HP and man is that thing heaven. At that time Ford managed 260HP out of their 4.6...

I say 1960s mentality because back then engines had a huge displacement. When did I stick up for the 2.5? Let me name similar sized and better engines in terms of power and refinement from the time of your shitty 4.0. The Nissan VQ30 engine, BMW M52 I6, any Toyota V6, Honda/Acura VTEC V6, GM 3800, Audi 30V V6 and the list goes on. All of those engines were smoother running, more durable, and far more powerful for their small sizes. On top of that they won multiple awards for low NVH levels.

Pathetic? I think it's impressive that automobile engineering has gotten to the point where you can put a little 2 and a half liter 4-cyl in an AWD SUV. For it's time, the 4.0L V6 was powerful, but by todays standards, it should make at least ~270 HP with the same or better MPG's.

you just need to test drive Ford's latest ecoboost engines. They are adding turbochargers and direct injection to their motors. And go and double check my numbers if you don't believe me, I'm glad your 4.0L has been reliable but its an old, dated engine with measly power rating by today's standards.

You don't give a shit but it doesn't change what is fact. Those mentioned engines amongst others are far better in every aspect and the way those cars perform show exactly what I mean. You're burning up more gas and not experiencing great performance just because you feel macho with the large engine displacement. Hell even the GM 4.2 I6 is far better, 275HP and I believe around the same if not more torques. 4.0 = Metallic Garbage.
