Towing and Hauling

When properly equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine and Class II Trailer Tow Package, the Escape can tow up to 3,500 pounds. That's plenty of capacity for bringing jet skis, a pop-up camper, or a utility trailer.

Inside, the Escape offers up to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. That's enough room to pack in camping gear, sports equipment, or boxes for your next move. The available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate makes loading and unloading a breeze, even when your hands are full. Add the optional roof rack side rails to stow bulky items on top for even more cargo space.

Ford Escape Technology

Stay connected and entertained wherever your travels take you with the Escape's advanced technology features. The SYNC 4 infotainment system comes standard with an eight-inch touchscreen, while SYNC 4A, with a massive 13.2-inch touchscreen, is available on higher trims. Both systems include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and natural voice recognition for hands-free control. The FordPass Connect system provides a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices, so your passengers can stream their favorite movies or music on long trips to Pana or Springfield.

With the FordPass app on your smartphone, you can remotely start your Escape, lock and unlock the doors, and check vehicle status from virtually anywhere, which is ideal for those frosty Hillsboro mornings. The available 360-degree camera system uses four cameras to create a bird's-eye view around the vehicle, making navigating tight parking spots in downtown Decatur easier.

Buying Versus Leasing

If you're considering a 2025 Ford Escape, you have two primary options: buying or leasing. Buying is ideal if you keep your Escape for the long haul and build equity over time. You'll have no mileage restrictions, and you can customize your Escape however you'd like. On the other hand, Leasing offers lower monthly payments and the flexibility to upgrade to a new model every few years. You'll enjoy warranty coverage for your lease, and you won't need to worry about long-term maintenance costs.

The experts in our Finance Center can help you weigh the pros and cons of buying versus leasing to determine which path is right for you. We'll work with you to find a payment plan that fits comfortably within your budget, whether you're commuting from Rochester or towing your camper to Lake Taylorville on the weekends.

Financing Options

Once you've found the perfect 2025 Ford Escape model, our dedicated financing team is here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. We'll help you explore our current specials and incentives, value your trade-in vehicle, and secure a competitive financing rate. You can even get pre-approved for financing from our website, saving you time when you visit the dealership to take home your new Escape.

Compare with the Chevy Equinox

Before making your final decision, be sure to compare the Ford Escape to the Chevy Equinox.
