I just couldn't handle the gas mileage of my 04 F-150 any longer, and the wife hated driving the beast, so off to the dealership we went to look at an Escape, then we saw HER; 2011, platinum white, panoramic sunroof, 22 inch rims… The wife and I knew it was a better choice. More room, more power, better looking (imo), nicer interior, more power, better handling and the list goes on. It has only been a week and 300 miles, but so far so good.
