10/27/13 3 comments	2014 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Tiguan's cargo volume specs place it with the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage near the bottom of the segment. Maximum cargo volume is 56 cubic feet, compared to 68 for the Escape and 73 for the Toyota RAV4. While VW likely made conservative assumptions with these specs as well,... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape

03/15/13 2 comments	A Pretty Decent Cute-Ute, All Things Considered 2012 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member4238 As long as you don't expect Suburban (or Expedition EL) levels of cargo room, the box-like rear compartment of this generation of Escape is able to accommodate nearly everything you could want. I used every last inch of that room in a recent move, and wasn't disappointed.
09/29/12	2012 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member5507 It's small...no 2 ways about it, especially compared to the full size truck it replaced. Towing...no way...4 banger and FWD..

08/30/11	2011 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member3168 Plenty of room to store anything we would need for a trip. Roof rack included in the package in case we would need it.
03/31/11	2006 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member5104 I needed space for a sound system and other funky shaped stuff. As soon as I heard someone refer to is as a "truck", I never hesitated putting more and more in.
03/26/11	2005 Ford Escape Pros and Cons A member in Illinois, United States Very nice cargo capacity, and I even towed with mine, despite it being a 4cylinder stick shift, front-wheel-drive.

08/04/10	2002 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member4233 It can tow up to 3500 lbs.
12/20/09	2008 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member3935 Escape 08 has a sizeble space at the back and you can also roll down seats to make more space in case you need it. We use it at least twice a month and it becomes quite useful when needed.
11/22/09	2003 Ford Escape Pros and Cons A member in British Columbia, Canada lots of room behind rear seat for dog and stuff roof rack works well rear liftgate raisees up for weather protection
10/05/09	2007 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member3489 Only 1000lb towing capacity combined with small cargo space (it is a small SUV) makes it difficult to go camping with two dogs and a toddler. Roof/bike racks are a good option.

05/21/09	2009 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member3315 Looks big, actually small. Towing is fine. Just cargo capacity is smaller than it looks
05/16/09	2002 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member3292 Lots of room in back and seats are easily removable so entire back goes flat. Almost as good as a van but not quite as large.
05/16/09	2005 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member3292 We go fishing and camping a lot and my son and I can get all of our gear in. In addition the back seats are removable and lay completely flat so when I go alone in colder weather can put air mattress and sleeping bag in back and sleep...
01/05/09	2005 Ford Escape Pros and Cons A member in South Carolina, United States i was not losing that much going from a 99 explorer to the escape. the escape i bought has the awd, so towing capacity loss was minimal.

09/18/08	2006 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member1876 Plenty of room for stuff.
09/18/08	2008 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member1350 very roomy. back seats fold flat. the only time i needed to rent a cargo van was for a full size mattress.
06/24/08	2005 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member2324 Lots of room for hauling and limited towing.
05/16/08	2007 Ford Escape Pros and Cons Member2077 133 hp, I wouldnt tow anyting with this...I think you would get stuck at any boat launch..It seems to take off on electric power even when gas motor is running...rpms wont go above 1200 if your stuck...seems to have only so much thrust & gives up.?
