CA is more than its corrupt government, crime, power grid failures and massive civil rights violations...... its a beautiful state. But I couldn't live there. Im looking into other options for leaving rural NY if Albany doesn't pull its head out of its donkey soon and get rid of our deadly bail reform act (let criminals go free time and time and time again til they kill someone) while also making it hard to own firearms and expensive to own vehicles

V6 Tundra? Are you stranded? Need a tow? Let me know, I got a V8 SR5 TSS Offroad.

Very weird video for you guys. Doesn't seem like the presenter was at all familiar with what each test truck was equipped with. Starts off by asking a vehicle to navigate when it doesn't have navigation equipped. After that he just seems to bumble through each system and figuring out things (or not) as he goes. Outside of that, he just seems to focus on the limited knowledge he has of each through his experience of each through use on the channel. I would have found it more useful to know exactly how each infotainment system was configured on each vehicle and what specs were available either above or below the one equipped. Didn't really get that here. Seems to make a big deal out of discovering that certain features weren't equipped on a particular truck, but the feature is available? It's basically like you're comparing trim levels that shouldn't be compared. This whole comparison is just weird for your channel's quality. Seems rushed, not well researched. Heck, it's hard not to notice that no one even took 10 minutes to wipe off the dash boards before filming. Just not up to your usual standards.

Super funny....a Ford makes it over 250k miles and a "I can't believe it" video is made. Meanwhile.....most Toyotas ever made....normal occurance. 😉

wanna trade me for my id4 since you are going to la? it has a 7 pin

Sweet.. by the time I can afford this beast they’ll have all the bugs worked out 😂

The escape is big enough and small enough. My 06 hybrid has almost 250 k. Had to have wheel bearings and front end multiple times. The front wheel drive is pretty good in the snow and wet.

California could use a good human migrating this way. Some great offroading up here in the Antelope Valley around the mountains and deserts.

I still miss the 2003 Ford Lynx.

This is funny. You bought yours soon after I bought mine. I sold mine about two months ago. I loved it, it was just time for something I liked more. Mine had the same engine and I was more than content. I did much better on mileage though. Maybe being a few feet above sea level was the difference.

cool video, 243k on my 1995 dakota everyday driver.I love old originals.

$350,000??? LMAO!!!

Good to see David again! However, the ford lane, just has to show their sponsor ( ord) how much they are fan boys with another shameless plug. I Used to watch religiously, now - not so much.

Whoever the person at Dodge that decided to end the HEMI line of engines need to be FIRED...By far the dumbest move RAM ever decided...BY FAR

10:42 the sport button is right on the sifter lol

Idk why ppl think Nissan cars are bad. Tbh I love my 2023 Nissan Altima 2.0 SR. I had a 2019 Accord EXL, and honestly the Nissan ride quality and build quality is better.

Thank you, great video.🏁🏁🏁🏁 What year is it? I don't think anyone said?

Stay out of Commifornia I can't wait.to.leave after decades here he will find out the shine goes away with prices taxes costs and democrats running this state into the ground the homeless and illegals are peachy...not

The center dash looks like lc100 dash and air vents

1) Decent maintenance. 2) Manual transmission. 3) Not rust belt. 4) No fatal design flaws. All four of those and anything should last half a million miles. Edit: 5) A bit of mechanical empathy from driver. Also: I grew up when Ford Escorts were all over the roads all over the world. I was sad to see them disappear. This is exactly a Ford Escort from the 2000's.

timing chain? never?

You didn't mention the new Ranger has a much larger back seating area than all the other mid-size pick-ups.

Funny that some of the best modern Fords or GMs aren’t even made by them. Chevy SS and Pontiac G8, Ford’s made by Mazda or Volvos.

We had a 2012 ford escape limited 3.0 v6 awd. It had really low miles but 2 deer ran out in front of me and totaled it. It was pretty quick and reliable when we had it.

Little engines wont last, how about a 4.3L +- diesel? Just make them durable and stop trying to get 500hp out of them.

That may be okay for insurance salesmen and accountants driving those new 5'-7" shortbeds but I hear there are already problems. Dodge needs to beef up the 6.7 Cummins and put a decent transmission behind it and Chevy needs to fix the FPCMs on the LP5, the 10spd is still questionable.

THESE GUYS SOUND SOFT!!! NOT REAL MEN - TURN OFF !!

It’s got to be the Mazda part of the equation sorry Ford🍀

This was a surprise to hear this about a high mileage Ford. What’s the word on the newer models I drove one as a rental years ago and loved it but I also owned a Ford explorer and it was the nicest most comfortable SUV to drive but I was in the shop every other month. Love your Show.🤙🍀

Those older fords, would go forever. Had a 94 ranger with the 3.0, had 200,000 miles on when a tree crushed it during a storm

My 06 Focus has 285k miles and is on original clutch.

Where is the spare tire. Little doughnut ?

My Dad has an 07 Escape V6, less than 100,000km (60,000 miles) here in Ontario Canada. Awesome vehicle. It's even defied the rust here in the salt/brine capital of the world. My wife's 2014 Edge with similar mileage on the other hand, is a rusted out piece of crap! Ford has lost it's way. Thank you David for sharing.

Those things are trash.

First off, welcome back to the channel, David. Your presence on TFL is most entertaining and educational, plus I too am a huge fan of GM trucks and your trucks are so cool. My very first car was a ford escape and it was TOTAL CRAP. Mine was a 2001 XLT V6 4WD. Why I hated it so much was because manly it’s not comfortable for people who are over 6 feet tall and hardly enough room even with the seat all the way back and the steering wheel all the way up. Two, ride and handling sucks, no surprise it’s a ford. And three, absolute death trap, DO NOT GET FOR FIRST CAR. Owned it for 10 mouths and trade it in for $1000 for a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer, my choice of a first car.

They could of done better with the wheels

I work on them at a Ford dealer. The 3.5L ecoboost can be a hit or miss. I’ve fixed many many many leaks, turbos and low power issues, phaser, chains. As they age all the coolant lines and oil lines going to the Turbos leak. Turbos end up getting wastegate rattle which requires replacement. I’ve seen many people sink thousands upon thousands of dollars into an old 3.5 ecoboost. If you buy one make sure it has a great service history. For me after working on all the gas motors in the trucks across the board I’d take the 5.0 all day.

My mom had an '05 Escape (V6/AWD), and it was a fantastic vehicle. The autos are not going to last 270k, but the engines are great. Oh, and the manual was FWD only.

I had an 05 Mazda tribute same thing as the Excape. It was the 4 cylinder automatic awd. It was great. 28 mpg and i took it all over the mountains. It has a center diff lock. Put it in 1st gear to lock it. It did great it would go in 22 inches of snow..i had the les schwabs mazama at tires. When i traded it off it had 220,000 miles on it with no issues

No those are shit. Nope. Also ive noticed everyone forgets what they have done to their vehicles. Its been 17 years !! They also drive like shit and quality is none existing

😂 can't believe you're featuring this suv. I'm currently looking for a replacement vehicle for my Sister's 2007 Ford Five Hundred. I found that these are very reliable. Especially the 2010-2012 with the v6. Probably getting one in the neighborhood of $8-9k for her. Lots to chose from and there is also the Mazda Tribute and the Mercury Mariner version. Glad that I picked up on these. But I notice the do rust out under the unibody. So I'm keeping my eyes on it.

throw in a $25 to $75 Walmart or Amazon radio and some Amazon or Walmart speakers and your set and it has the millennial/ Gen Z anti-theft device.

I drive a 2017 frontier for work. It's a GOOD truck. The ass end likes to go sideways in snow even if I drive super slow. That plastic spoiler on the tailgate is useless

Don’t knock the v6. It will run forever. I have two of them, one in an escape and one in a fusion. Both over 250k, running great.

And every car reviewer deducts points for no power seats, no heated steering wheel etc. People have been conned into what they really need.

Radio is an easy fix. Just have to solder the 6 resistors for the radio plate. I did that for my 2007 that did not display and it took 30 minutes and never a problem. Typical of the radios for that year

Hey TFL did you know you can only get the 2.7ltr v6 Ranger if you get it in 4X4 and it adds 5K pluss to the sticker

Who steals the CAT from a 20 yr old ICE? Most of the rare earth metals are worn out, so the value is a small fraction of the CAT on any newer vehicle. Either the thieves were complete idiots, or this was a targeted theft and not about selling the CAT.

How a totally fraudulent scam about manmade climate change destroyed the future of vehicle manufacturing. That is what this time in our lives should be called. ~or~ How coal powered electric cars fooled the feeble minded. This is absolutely embarrassing. The blind leading the blind but they're not blind. They're all just wearing blindfolds. 😅😂😊 Thank God we can just buy older, real vehicles and laugh at the new ones.

That generation of escape is the best looking
