Ford Escape Hybrid Thoughts?

Thanks guys and thanks jackelope for the insight.  Made it a pretty easy decision.  We pick it up tomorrow.  The kids pretty excited and I’m happy with all the air bags, AWD, and lack of power to keep her safe.

Looking it up on the internet, the replacement battery for an Escape looks around $150-200. Because it's a hybrid and not electric like the ones you plug in, I don't think the battery is a big deal.

I think your looking at the starting battery. Not the hybrid power battery.

Agreed. I don’t think that’s the right battery.


For $3000 if it lasts 2-3 years, it was worth it to me.

Oh! I guess I dropped a fly in your soup! Thanks for the correction.
