I've been seeing more and more Escapes on the road. They definitely look sharp.

The Escape Titaniums are very common around here, with base S/SE models taking up the fleet, so it's no surprise. AWD's always an added peace of mind.

I wish they were about 6 inches wider. I want one to replace my 06 Escape in a couple years. I absolutely LOVE our 06 - great little unit.

Anything is possible...LOL Quick question, how much wider is the sn95 8.8 compared to the foxbody 8.8? I haven't looked it up, but I figured you would know offhand...

Approximately 1.5" wider total, so .75" per side.
