2017 Ford Escape Owner’s Guide

Made for everyday drivers, this site 2017FordEscape.com is built from ongoing real life experience with our 2017 Ford Escape. We keep things simple: recommended oil & filters, tire sizes, wiper sizes, real-world fuel economy, common problems, recalls, and step-by-step DIY maintenance. No fluff. No jargon.

From a proud 2017 Ford Escape owner: Hey, I'm Don and I built this all-in-one resource to help other owners maintain their 2017 Ford Escape (including S SE SEL and Titanium models) easily and keep it in great condition for years to come. We own and daily drive a 2017 Ford Escape SE (1.5L EcoBoost) that we've named Alice and she is one of the best vehicles we've had the pleasure of driving.
