Used 2010 Ford Escape for Sale near New Brunswick

Having done my research, it turns out the Escape is one of the more reliable vehicles on the road. One heads up though: on the 2011 and earlier models, make sure the PTU fluid is changed--the location of the PTU (surrounded by hot-running parts) was an issue because the fluid would break down and this could cause problems with the rear wheels. Ford did a recall and fix on the issue, so make sure your Escape had it done. If you pay attention to the PTU fluids being filled every 25-30K miles, youre good. Other than this, its a solid SUV.

The car looks ok from the pictures, but the interior and exterior has obviously been flooded. There is a strong odor on the inside due to flooding. There is major rust on the inside and out.

I loved the car. The only thing missing for me would be a sunroof

I am currently driving a 2002 Ford Escape XLT awd with 266,000+ miles on it. The vehicle was a year old when purchased and had approximately 25,000 miles on the odometer. It has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned in 54 years of driving. The 2010 thru 2012 is normally aspirated and slightly larger than the 2013 on. I am familiar with the vehicle and can do a lot of the common maintenance on it.

I really enjoy my 2010 Ford Escape XLT. I purchased the Sport Appearance package that is all black, including rims, grill, and interior. Only having the vehicle for about 5 weeks I have had no issues except that I did downgrade from a Trailblazer so the size is substantially different. Comfortability is lost a bit in the rear seat for full sized adults (or our teen son.) Fuel efficiency is a bit better, although I did go with the V6 so we are averaging 21 mpg. The V6 performance is worth the mileage if you downgrade from a larger SUV. The appearance package is very nice, although the styling is about due for a change. Quality is about the same as other similarly sized vehicles such as RAV4, CRV, or the Equinox.
