    The only problem is the tyres. Nothing else. Without off road tyres it's hard

    This is actually pretty impressive for a soft roader shopping car on what are presumably summer tyres.

    Hello greetings from Mexico, Cuernavaca Morelos, I have been following your channel for months a question of mine, which was, if a 2019 Escape could be modified for off road, what modifications do you recommend to make to my 2019 Escape, so that it looks like off road , and that they are something functional, the closest thing that can be done, and that they do not deceive me here in Mexico, thanks in advance and greetings.

      @@sevenpointsixtwo9707 Your right they are not. They are marketed as such. But essentially they are AWD just like my 2015 Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD. Both sharing the same platform with each other and ground clearance. I was impressed though by what it "could" handle notice i stress could. My next vehicle will be a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and that will be leaps and bounds ahead of this or my current vehicle.

    HI guys, was it an automatic or manual? About to buy a 2019 180CV powershift but have doubts on snow and car loaded around 350kg. How would you say it will behave exiting a parking with a very short turn in a 30º up inclination? Thanks in advance.

    Giving it to much gas, if you go slower and keep steady speed it's easier to get up those mud and snow hills, otherwise you're just making ruts and digging in deeper

    Now with TRUE 4WD not something marketed as such and it's really an AWD system. You'd be able too get through all of this. Such as a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have a 2015 Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD which shares the same platform as the Escape/Kuga. And it's AWD i don't see how the Escape is any better being "4WD" when essentially it's just an AWD system. A Grand Cherokee would go through ALL of this like butter. Which is why it's my short list for new vehicles.

    nice tries but I suggest you go read the car manual, a comment on another video pointed me to it and it explained why the car is never present in comparisons where you have the rav4 forester and all it's competitors...you are not allowed to use the awd for offroad and by offroad Ford says precisely "any no flat or obstructed road different than a regular driving road" the snow test is what I can guarantee you they would call an obstruction and the dirt slope an instant voidance of your warranty..it's a city car officially.not for me
