The Bad Boy Pack enhances the Escape's already tough image by offering customers a host of extra features, valued at over $3,000, for no additional cost over the recommended retail price of a standard Escape XLS 2.3L of $31,990*. Included in the Bad Boy Pack is a range of seriously tough and stylish extras, from the front and rear skid plates, side steps and 16" alloy wheels, to the chrome-look bumper inserts, chrome-look side mirror covers and 'Escape' branded stainless steel scuff plates.
Ford Escape 2001: loa 4415mm, width 1825mm, height 1775mm, wheelbase 2620mm, turning radius 5.6m, weight 1570kg, engine 2976cc V6 petrol 4-valves/cyl dohc, 150 at 6000, 266 at 4700, transmission 4-speed auto', front wheel drive with auto' 4x4, suspension MacPherson strut/ multi link, brakes disc/ drum, tyres 235/65x16, fuel tank 62L, price XLS 33,200, XLT 37,300, ( 3/2001). 2000: Ford Australia is to launch the Escape 4WD in March 2001. The standard power-train in our market will consist of a 3-litre V6 petrol engine (150) with an automatic gearbox. As such, the Mazda-derived 4WD is a nose ahead of its new stable mate, the Ford Land Rover Freelander now offering a 2.5 litre V6 (and a turbo diesel). The Escape comes in two levels of trim - the base XLS and the more expensive XLT. Air conditioning, power windows, driver seat height adjustment, 60/40 split rear seating and a roof rack with horizontal carry bars are standard. The XLT gets a 6-CD player, cruise control, power exterior mirrors, and P235/65R16 tyres on 16x7 wheels over and above the XLS. The baby Ford 4WD has been sitting in the wings, it seems, forever and now enters a crowded market-place full of cross-over, car-like 4WDs, with monocoque construction, often with independent suspension and without low-ratio gears - Honda CR-V, Hyundai Sante Fe, Land Rover Freelander, Subaru Forester, and Toyota RAV4. The Ford Escape gets its first Australian showing at the 2000 Sydney International Motor Show, November. Go to the
