#2 of 11 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid by lillieljp Oct 26, 2009 (7:14 am)
I am trying to decide between the Ford Escape Hybrid and other similar vehicles. Does anyone have experience with the AWD on this vehicle? Replies to this message: sabretooth1 (Nov 21, 2009 4:57 pm) explorerx4 (Nov 28, 2009 6:40 am)
#3 of 11 Inventory of Ford Escape 2010 by stevepei Nov 06, 2009 (1:00 pm)
I bought an Escape XLS in Hackensack, NJ last Saturday. The salesman said I could pick up the car this Saturday when we closed the deal. But I just learned from him that the car won't be available for at least another week, maybe two weeks. Anybody has similar experience?

Replying to: stevepei (Nov 06, 2009 1:00 pm) He may have just "taken you out of the market" so you won't go shop elsewhere while the inventory is in route (or until he finds one on another dealer's lot to match your order).   Salespeople sometimes get lied to by their sales manager, so it may not entirely be his fault. Seems like you deserve a good explanation though, and you haven't gotten one.

Replying to: stevepei (Nov 06, 2009 1:00 pm) I bought mine last night and was told that mine might take a week also. The one I was looking for was not in my state, so I don't know. It's a popular vehicle so when you have certain criteria that you want it might have to be found someplace else.

Replying to: lillieljp (Oct 26, 2009 7:14 am) Just posted my review on our 2010 XLT AWD. Although, expectations of 7-8 yrs for the vehicle, we were not interested in the Hybrid, just too much $$$. We do have AWD but probably will not experience AWD until inclimate weather this winter. Keep you posted...... Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Nov 28, 2009 6:40 am)
#7 of 11 Why a 4WD XLT doesn't say "4WD" on the back by stevepei Nov 28, 2009 (5:11 am)
I finally picked up a XLT this weekend. It is a AWD, but why there are no letters "AWD" or "4WD" on the back door of the vehicle? The salesperson says Ford stopped putting the letters on the back door since 2009 models. Is that so?

Replying to: sabretooth1 (Nov 21, 2009 4:57 pm) the awd will also help when the roads are wet.

Replying to: stevepei (Nov 28, 2009 5:11 am) our '09 had a '4wd' badge on the lower right of the rear hatch. just look underneath from behind the vehicle toward the front, if you see a round opening between the rear wheels, it is 2wd version.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 28, 2009 6:43 am) here in Canada I was told there's a long wait for a hybrid. The problem there is still the batteries, cost to replace, what happens with them, and if it's worth the extra cost at this time. I'm coming off lease from a subie legacy wagon, which subie dropped. I don't want the Outback, so I'm looking at other wagons. This was recommended by a friend. Lots of toys in if for the price, but it's more suv than I'm used to. I'll check it out though. cdndriver

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 28, 2009 6:43 am) It is an AWD. I checked the window sticker and under the chassis. I just wonder why it does not come with a 4WD badge. The dealer said Ford did not put the badge on all their AWD/4WD vehicles. I just want to make sure.
