yes. there is no 4 LOW and it is only for "soft" off roading. although, you can still risk for it. driver dependent naman.

Based from kiper's Escape performance, dirt roads very capable. Di ko lang alam kung ano ang function nung switch for AUTO 4WD and ON. Pero kung offroad trails na pinupuntahan duda ko kasi high gears lang ang magagamit. There is no LOW gear available. Baka kapusin sa mga bwelo na kakailanganin. Naalala ko last time they went to Terra Pura backyards, nagtaka kami ni OTEP bakit ayaw sumunod ni kiper sa amin. Yun pala na stuck sa putikan di makaahon. :D

Pero infairness, parang malapad sya compared to other mini SUVs. Its size can be deceiving! :mrgreen:

hehe..kung escape off-roading lang ang pag-uusapan..okay na okay siya.

basta alam mo ung limitasyon ng sasakyan okay lang gamitin sa off-road..:wink:

hwag mo lang gagayahin si odell magmaneho..masisira ung sasakyan.:mrgreen:

roydok,

bibili ka ba? no low gears, un lang ang problema. pero ung being stuck sa putik..kasama sa laro un..:mrgreen:

Ungas,

AUTO -- for normal driving but engages the 4wd automatically if front wheels slips.
ON -- on na siya..hehe..off-road na..!!:mrgreen:

kiper,

parang sabi yata sa magazine dati yung "ON" ng escape hindi parang center diff lock yung function... more like mas aggressive na AUTO.

I did the 4x4 training of the ford people for the Escape, its not meant to be a serious off roader but its the only one in its class with a central difflock so sya ang pinaka off roadable among the small "Soft roaders" in europe they do put mud tires on it and take it on alpine trips.:D
