2013 Ford Escape

CarLocate Team, November 2, 2012, 01:23PM

Got your hands full with car shopping? The 2013 Ford Escape is designed to lend you a hand!  Great for someone on the go, this roomy SUV has tons of features and accessories. Not to mention it has many eco-friendly options available. This is definitely one of the most convenient SUVs on the market.


Let’s talk about going green. The new Escape has two available EcoBoost engines that are awesomely efficient, getting you 33 highway mpg. Plus the seat cushion and head restraint foam are derived from soybeans and the carpet is produced using a blend of fibers derived from recycled plastic bottles. This will help you go green and will save you some gas money, too!


Ready for a full-sized smart car? This one is a genius! With available features like SYNC with MyFord Touch, you can drive at ease. Use voice commands to listen to your favorite songs, take calls, use the Navigation System, and even control the climate in the car. Trouble parallel parking? No problem! Activate the park assist and the Escape looks for a spot for you and then assists you while parking. All you have to do is control the shifting, accelerating, and braking.


If you are always on the go and your hands are full, this SUV is definitely one to look in to. With the push-button start, there’s no need to dig around in your pocket or purse for your keys. As long as the key fob is in the vehicle, you just press the brake pedal and then the start button and you are ready to go. And possibly the best of all, there is a foot-activated liftgate. How many times are you dragging groceries or luggage out to your car and have no extra hands to open the liftgate? With this feature all you have to do is kick your foot under the bumper and the power liftgate automatically opens! Use this easy access to keep your hands full and give your back a break.


The Escape is also great for any road trips and adventures. It has 4WD available to keep you safe no matter if its rain, snow, or shine. Plus, you can fold down the second row seating for tons of storage space. Taking a little trailer or some jet skis with you? The Escape with a 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine can tow up to 3,500 lbs. with sway control.


If you are looking to get a new car this year, we think the 2013 Ford Escape is absolutely a top pick! With all of the options and features, there’s an Escape to fit every type of driver and lifestyle.

‘Minivan Month’ is in honor of the vehicle that started the mini-van segment- the Chrysler Town & Country. To launch the month Chrysler Group LLC has brought back the “Minivan Pledge.”  This pledge allows consumers who purchase a new 2011 Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan during April to return the vehicle, no questions asked, within 60 days. 
 
In addition to this pledge customers can also choose $750 in Customer Cash or financing options as low as 2.9% for 60 months. 
 
The Chrysler Town & Country was the best-selling minivan in the U.S. during 2010 and the Dodge Grand Caravan is America’s best-selling minivan ever.
 
 
 
“Consumers will be thrilled with all the improvements we made in our new 2011 Town & Country and Grand Caravan minivans. With this pledge, consumers also will have the peace of mind that they made the right purchase decision,” says Fred Diaz, President and CEO – RAM Truck Brand and Lead Executive for U.S. Sales.
