Ford Escape 3rd Generation

2013–2019 · suv

Third-gen Escape on the Ford C1 (Global C) platform — Kuga twin sold worldwide. Engines: 2.5L Duratec I4 (168hp NA), 1.6L EcoBoost I4 (178hp, 2013-2016, replaced by 1.5L EcoBoost 2017+), 2.0L EcoBoost I4 (240hp). 6F35 6-speed automatic. FWD or AWD. Mid-cycle facelift 2017.

Watch out: 1.6L EcoBoost (2013-2014 builds) had a serious coolant intrusion / cracking-block recall — NHTSA 14V-340 and follow-ups — with Ford eventually issuing a 10-year/150k coolant warranty extension for affected VINs after engine failures. Many were replaced under that program; if buying a 2013-2014 1.6L EcoBoost, verify the engine was replaced or the warranty work was performed. Also: PTU fluid never replaced from the factory, same story as Edge.
