ray Report post Posted April 11, 2013 Beginning with the 2013 Ford Escape, Ford certainly changed directions form what many would claim to be more masculine and SUV functional to more urbanite. Which Escape do you like better: the 2013+ or the previous generations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeB Report post Posted January 30, 2020 Always preferred prior to 2013, they look like what SUV should look like and yes you can say they look more masculine. I've had a 2004, 2007 and now have 2010. I feel that a SUV that has the ride of a car is not a true SUV. Just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markmurd Report post Posted January 18, 2022 My 2001 1st gen escape is a little beast. Its more like a side by side atv fully enclosed. Ive done some suspension mods ie. lift kit wheel spacers mud and snow tires and off road lighting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
