svtenthusiast Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks ice-capades, I figured you were the guy to answer this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtenthusiast Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Has anyone heard when this guide will release? The order bank was supposed to open today, but my dealer has not received the order guide as of today. I am patiently waiting on making a purchase decision until we get more information on the Escape and there is very little right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have a friend who works at the stamping plant at MAP. They will be stamping some of the Escape body parts. The dies have just arrived and are being fitted. Production stamping is not scheduled to start until late Feb/early Mar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtenthusiast Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) FYI for anyone that was waiting on the order guide, it's at the dealers now. Hopefully ice-capades will post it here for everyone. Biggest standout for me for ordering is I can't get the trailer tow package without eliminating the cool new hands free liftgate.

johndixs Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Does anyone know which specific Continentals are on the SEL ( 235/50-18 )? Thanks, Johndixs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtenthusiast Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Does anyone know which specific Continentals are on the SEL ( 235/50-18 )? Thanks, Johndixs All tire sizes on the 2013 Escape are Continental ContiProContact You can confirm this by going to tirerack.com and select 2013 Escape, and select "see OEM tires" They aren't the best tires for this application, and in the larger sizes on the SEL and Titanium with car like sidewall ratios, it's hard to find alternative brands right now. When I get mine, I would like to switch out the tires immediately, but not sure if I will find an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndixs Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks, SVT. I share your skepticism re the Continentals, having had poor performance out of the Continentals on my 2008 Mariner Hybrid ( good treadwear, but all else was out of line with the car, which has been terrific ).

svtenthusiast Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looks like the order bank won't be opening until next month for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I went into a dealership last week and the only information they had available was the guide that's posted here. I was ready to place an order, but without pricing information I didn't want to lock into a specific model so we never got that far. Should I expect pricing to be finalized before the order bank opens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtenthusiast Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 The order bank is now open, and dealers have pricing. I ordered my 2013 Escape Titanium this Saturday. Pretty much loaded 4x2 is 34K and the loaded 4x4 is 36K. Good luck to the guys on here in the Louisville plant, hope everything goes smooth for a successful launch and a quality vehicle!

jldavis32 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I ordered the Titanium awd w/parking pkg, leather, & trailer tow today. Today's price was 35,230(not final). Edited February 3, 2012 by jldavis32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKII Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My brother (in Canada) factory ordered a new Escape for a customer Titanium, 2.0L EB, AWD, full leather seats, Panorama Roof, Parking Tech Pkg, Nav, price in Canadian $44,000 plus tax (13%) Americans got it good compared to your northern neighbors. 1.00 USD = 0.994288 CAD US Dollar Canadian Dollar Ford N.A. must love Canadian truck sales, especially since Ford truck sales in Canada almost 5 truck sales to 1 car sale.

MKII Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 35,500.00 CAD = 35,723.27 USD Not that big a deal.... My point was the same spec Escape Titanium in Canada cost (before tax) about $10,000 more then in the USA. Which computes to Ford Motor Company making a much bigger profit from its Canadian divison.

Transpower Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I saw the 2013 Escape at the Philadelphia Auto Show this past Friday. It's ugly, but not as ugly as I thought it would be. On the other hand, the new Fusion is actually better looking than the last generation. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big difference even before adding on the tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, the new Fusion is actually better looking than the last generation. Go figure. I thought the 2012 Escape is ugly (outdated) compared to the 2013. It's all personal perceptions.

svtenthusiast Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I ordered the Titanium awd w/parking pkg, leather, & trailer tow today. Today's price was 35,230(not final). Did you dealer advise you that when you add the trailer tow, it deletes the hands free portion of the power liftgate? Just FYI I wanted the trailer tow but not at the expense of losing one of the cool features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
