Thank you very much for doing this video! I'm retired and living in Mexico and I saved up to buy a newer vehicle. I was looking at these two and wondered how they differ. You video has helped me a LOT and taught me a few things. 1 Mercury is no longer around so parts will be hard to find in 10 years. I also know I see a lot more Ford Escapes down here and the parts are cheap. Your videos are even helping peopl in other copuntries to find the right car for them! Thanks!!! :-)

Wheels ARE interchangeable: last fall, was at a salvage yard for some parts for my '08 Mariner, and saw a crashed '11 Escape: rims were fine, and had 4 matching Michelin tires with over 80% tread! I scooped them all up for $288! All I had to do was pop out the center caps & switch them back! Yay! You can upgrade the headlight switch, if you want! Enjoy! Good luck!

I bought a Tribute for the same reason, great car. I've been in the repair side of the business for 30 years. The nice thing about the tribute is that most people looking for Escapes have no interest in looking at a Mazda, and because people that ARE looking for a Mazda are looking for zoom-zoom. The Tribute uses the same as the Mariner as far as fog lamps. Headlamp lenses are different.

@RedQNZ 4 жыл бұрын

What is your opinion, being you are the repair side of the business, of these cars as used cars as they get older? do you they tend to hold up OK? Easy to get parts for? Easy for mechanics to work on and keep going? thanks

@maxmarc1000 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I was wondering if the Tribute and Mariner fog lamps are the same. By the way, the tail lights of the 08-12 Ford Escape fit the 08-11 Tribute perfectly. And vice versa.

@boomerguy9935 9 ай бұрын

I just got a beautiful tungsten grey 2008 Mercury Mariner base 4wd V6.. I got it with 91k miles. Dealership in md. It's nostalgic for me... I grew up in my grandparents Explorers and Escapes. And I owned 3 Grand Marquis so I specifically searched for a Mercury Mariner. I'm in love with it.

Both my 2010, and 2012 escapes are FWD I4. The 2012 is fully loaded except for the 6 CD. The 2010 is missing the Rear park assist,the dual climate,6 CD,and sunroof. They are fantastic cars. Plan to keep them for a while.

My Mariner has 252k on it. Runs great. I've had to do exhaust manifold gaskets, flex pipe, body control module, tone ring on the front right CV axle, brake hoses and regular maintenance besides that. I did all the work myself and parts were under $200 with everything combined. Trying to squeeze 400k out of it

@svonnedaughtrey8637 6 жыл бұрын

George Denoncourt, just got my 2010 back from the shop. Had to have an axle bushing, seal, and inner part of the CV axle replaced. I've had to have a motor mount replaced. Both front lower control arms need to be replaced. My 2010 has 102k on it, so I'm guessing I got one of the "less fortunate" ones. The 2012 is at 64k, and hasn't had any of the issues the 2010 has.

"There was also the Mazda Tribute, but I never see those around." I would also say that the Land Rover Freelander 2 which was built 2006-2015 is related to a Ford Escape. They didn't share any parts and they were built in different plants, but the exterior shape looks somewhat similar. This was from the time when Ford owned Land Rover. By the way, the first generation Escapes were named Ford Maverick in Europe.

@colbywalsh4610 6 жыл бұрын

It seems basically like a 2008 Ford escape limited we have. I mean some of the trim is different because of it being a mercury and such, but our escape has the direct tech, the upgraded sound system with six CD changer and sink and all that. And as two mileage with the V-6, I’m curious to see what you’re getting out of your four cylinder. Hours with the Duratek does about 26 on trips. About 23 in town.
