#154 of 223 2005 Escape Stereo upgrade by kg18074 Mar 30, 2006 (10:58 am)
I'm looking to upgrade my '05 Escape stereo to either the Audiouphile 320 watt sytem if it compatable or after market that looks close to OEM. Something maybe double DIN if this fits. I'm looking for AM/FM/CD?MP3/SAT Radio. any suggestions?
#155 of 223 DRLs ( Daytime Running Lights) & Misc Accessories by 3screwsloose Apr 23, 2006 (6:44 am)
Does anyone out there know how to ENable DRLs? Our '06 Mariner Hybrid doesn't have them. We also do not have the headlight auto-on feature. Also, a visual indicator for the back-up sensor system would be helpful - no need to turn down the volume of the sound system. Anybody have experience adding the exterior rear-view mirror glasses with the built-in chevron LEDs? Has anyone tried adding an IPOD to their in-car sound system with the adapter that plugs in? Does it displace the CD changer? We have the system with the NAVI/Hybrid display. I believe it is MP3 compatible. Two last items, door sill protectors and cargo area mats with the lip around the perimeter. Any thoughts there? Thnx from SUNNY Texas - allready been up to 102!
#156 of 223 Towing Capacity by disneyfan3 Apr 25, 2006 (6:05 pm)
Just bought a 2006 FEH. It is awesome and i couldn't be happier.   There is however one small concern. i have a small ski boat that i take to a lake 10 miles from my house. The Bayliner website states the boat and trailer weigh 2,500 lbs.   The FEH is rated at 1,000 lbs of towing. So what happens if i try to tow the boat??   Thanks, paul Replies to this message: tidester (Apr 25, 2006 9:09 pm) gregtal1 (Nov 27, 2006 1:12 pm) mecheng1 (Nov 28, 2006 6:48 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: disneyfan3 (Apr 25, 2006 6:05 pm) That doesn't sound very promising. You may want to try Ford Escape Hybrid Owners: Problems & Solutions or Ford Escape Hybrid.   tidester, host Replies to this message: gregtal1 (Nov 27, 2006 1:12 pm) mecheng1 (Nov 28, 2006 6:48 am) yelorose (Apr 20, 2007 12:09 pm)
#158 of 223 Trailer Hitch for 2005 Escape by rknopp1 Apr 27, 2006 (6:39 am)
What was your experience with installing a class II or class III style hitch and wiring harness on a 2005 Escape ? Ford quotes me $450 for a class II hitch including installation and an additional $105 for the wiring harness. Is this a fair price ?

#159 of 223 Running boards on a Hybrid escape 06 by newbrid Apr 28, 2006 (7:52 am)
Steps don't seem to be an option on the 06 hybrid. are there any available aftermarket that will bolt on? Is there something unique about the hybrid undercarriage that makes these unavailable? I did find rubber plugs (oriented vertically) on the frame, is this where boards bolt on?   Any assistance appreciated, my short wife and shorter child thank you too!   T Replies to this message: odie6l (Apr 28, 2006 2:21 pm)

Replying to: newbrid (Apr 28, 2006 7:52 am) you can check any local savage (junk) yard and see about getting a set of OEM step bars (black or chome) for about $75 - $150 with all mounting eqiupment. Since the standard escape and the hybrid are the same vehicle I assume you can put the OEM bars on. Hope this helps.   Odie Odie's Garage
#161 of 223 grill guards / tail lamp surrounds by rayolite Apr 29, 2006 (10:26 am)
I just bought a 2006 Escape limited... added the chrome step bars (factory) and would like to add a grill guard that is chrome (or stainless) and tail lamp surrounds that are chrome (or stainless) and can't seem to find any anywhere... I've looked at several places and can find them in black or in chrome/stainless for earlier models.   Any ideas are appreciated!! M. Replies to this message: odie6l (Apr 30, 2006 1:24 pm)

Replying to: rknopp1 (Apr 27, 2006 6:39 am) i bought and intalled a 2 inch under bumper receiver hitch for about $150. took me a while to get good at fishing the bolts through the frame. it is for a bike rack, so i didn't do the wiring.

Replying to: tommybally (Mar 19, 2006 11:51 pm) A much easier solution is to lower the windows at night when backing up. I found this solution to be good practice for safty when backing up. It provides an added benefit of allowing the driver to hear outside noise as well.
