If you’re shopping for a used 2017 Ford Escape, you’ll want to know everything about it first. This includes the standard and optional features, its passenger capacity, and, of course, its performance. When you test-drive this vehicle at Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Harrisburg, you’ll see how powerful a used 2017 Ford Escape is — here’s what to expect.
Engine Statistics
A pre-owned 2017 Ford Escape will still generate significant power for a midsize SUV thanks to its standard 1.5-liter inline-four engine. This machine delivers 179 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, making it comparable to other modern SUVs in the same class. With standard front wheel drive and a curb weight of 3,526 lb., its size generally doesn’t impact performance.
For added performance, you can swap out for the available EcoBoost engine. This 2.0-liter engine ups performance to 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, making this the superior option for drivers who are concerned with power.
Towing Capacity
Another power factor to consider is the towing capacity, which can vary for a pre-owned 2017 Ford Escape. If you’re considering buying one with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, you’ll get a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. This makes it the ideal vehicle for larger hauls.
On the standard 1.5-liter engine, however, the 2017 Ford Escape still manages to hold its own. This model features a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs. This is suitable for most drivers who are hauling smaller cargo; if larger towing capability matters to you, finding a model with the EcoBoost engine should be your priority.
