Sort of surprised a "Limited" trim level, $35K MSRP 2009 vehicle does not include Home Link garage door opener integration or back-up camera in the $2,395 Navigation system. In fact, there are exposed bolts, wire looms and visible brackets which seem out of place for a '09 vehicle in this price category. Having said that, the hybrid drive system is super sophisticated, SYNC is awesome and it's great to be driving USA made, lower impact vehicle! |

    Enjoy!!! We did not get the navigation system - we thought the vehicle was expensive enough without. Getting about 33 mpg combined driving. Just need to get rid of the temptation not to restart the car when coming to a stop (feels like it stalls since the gas engine cuts out). |

| I had actually made a deal on a Escape at a different lot, at the end of the day yesterday. This AM when the salesman called to do a dealer trade, it turned out that the one I wanted had already sold last night, too. These 2009 Escapes are going fast! So now I'm back into ordering mode, with my original dealer. He says 4-6 weeks for a non-hybrid, and if the hybrid comes in first, then I can have that one instead. (Seems unlikely). | |
Just ordered my vehicle yesterday at Courtesy Ford in Littleton CO. Going for the Kiwi Green - loaded with everything. Was told it would take 10 weeks. Am driving a 1999 Ford Explorer Eddie Baurer, still getting 18.4 MPG but am looking forward to the smaller version and the better gas mileage. The Explorer is for sale if anyone is interested (probably in October when my Hybrid is delivered). Have never had a navigation system so that will be fun to experiment with. Also looking forward to the backup warning. We also have a F150 super crew cab that has that feature and it is great. It would be nice if all cars and trucks built got at least 20 MPG, it will take years for us spoiled Americans to get on that train. Was told I would have my VIN in two weeks. Have an order number of 103, does that mean anything to anyone?

The phone number to call for tracking your vehicle is 1-800-392-3673. The number prompts are 1 - 5 - 2 - 2 You can't get anywhere without your VIN number. You will also need: Body style (U59 for the 2009 Ford Escaped Hybrid Limited - loaded) Dealer Number (usually a letter followed by 5 numbers) Your order number given to you by your dealer A good web site for this vehicle is www.genuineservice.com This is a free service. You can download your manual (333 pages) or save it to your favorites, a much better idea.

We picked up our new 2009 FEH Limited this week. Sort of surprised a "Limited" trim level, $35K MSRP 2009 vehicle does not include Home Link garage door opener integration or back-up camera in the $2,395 Navigation system. The included back-up sensors are nice, but camera is more functional and expected. In fact, there are exposed bolts, wire looms and visible brackets which seem out of place for a '09 vehicle in this price category. That being said, the hybrid drive system is super sophisticated, SYNC + Navigation + Sirius Travel Link is awesome and it's great to be driving USA made, lower impact vehicle! |

My dealer called today to let me know that I had a vin number, a build date and a delivery date. If all goes well we will have a new Escape on 9-1-08. The excitement builds. Does anyone know the weight allowances for roof top carriers, bikes etc or does Ford not recommend it?
