Mechanical Features
At the heart of the 2008 Ford Escape lies the robust 3.0L DOHC SEFI 24-valve V6 “Duratec” engine, designed to deliver efficient performance without compromising on power. Standard in areas prone to cold weather like AK, MN, ND, SD, MT, WI, and WY, the engine block heater ensures that your Escape is ready to perform, even on the coldest mornings.

The intelligent 4-wheel drive system adapts to varying road conditions, providing enhanced stability and traction when it’s needed most. Complementing this capability is the vehicle’s battery saver feature, which extends battery life by shutting off power to non-essential functions when the vehicle is not in use.

The 2008 Escape also boasts a 4-wheel independent suspension, offering a smooth ride by absorbing bumps and shocks from rough terrain, making it an ideal choice among used cars in Ames. The power-assisted rack and pinion steering and power front disc/rear drum brakes contribute to a responsive and controlled driving experience.

The body sports a modern a-gloss color on the front bumper and a sophisticated chrome grille with a body-color lower section, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

Visibility is a key strength, thanks to clear lens automatic halogen headlamps with an off-delay feature and round front fog lamps, ensuring safe navigation in poor lighting conditions. The black manual fold-away power-adjust side mirrors and solar-tinted glass on doors and liftgate offer both function and style, while the privacy glass on rear doors, quarter windows, and liftgate ensures privacy and security.

For convenience in all weather conditions, the vehicle includes variable intermittent windshield wipers and a rear 2-speed wiper with washer. The black full-grip ergonomic door handles not only provide ease of use but also add to the vehicle’s rugged charm.

Inside the 2008 Ford Escape, comfort and convenience are evident in every detail. The driver enjoys a 6-way power seat, allowing for optimal positioning during long drives. The rear seats feature premium cloth and a 60/40 split tip-fold-flat design with a removable cushion, offering flexible seating and cargo arrangements, ideal for customers at Ames car dealerships looking for versatile cars for sale.

The eco-friendly fabric used on all seating surfaces speaks to the environmentally conscious design, while the floor console includes practical elements like cup holders, a storage bin, and a removable interior bin, catering to all your storage needs. The instrument panel is straightforward and user-friendly, featuring essential warning lights and a stylish Ghin Rime finished center cluster.

Ambient Ice Blue lighting creates a calming atmosphere within the cabin, complementing the chrome shifter bezel with molded color insert for a touch of elegance. Practical features like power windows with driver “one-touch-down” functionality, power accessory delay, and multiple power points ensure convenience at your fingertips.

Safety and Security
Safety is a priority in the 2008 Ford Escape, equipped with dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags, including a front passenger sensor system to adjust deployment based on severity of impact. Side airbags and the Safety Canopy for the first and second rows enhance occupant protection, making it a safe choice for families.

The vehicle is fitted with front height-adjustable 3-point safety belts with pretensioners and rear 3-point safety belts at all seating positions, ensuring that all passengers are securely fastened.
