That is a nice looking rig. Not to beat this subject to death but does anyone have some photos of a new generation 19 ft Escape with the "high lift" kit? We are turning in our final build sheet this week and will consider this option since our driveway has a steep entre angle. We are concerned about scraping the underside of our condo on wheels.

Thanks

Here's a couple of pics of our 2017 with high lift. Excuse the dirty trailer, we'd been traveling awhile and it's on a nice level site. We do need blocks for the stabilizer legs in most places, but like the higher clearance for both dirt roads and our own driveway, access to the dump valves is nice too. Our tug is an F150 4x4.

Beautiful! Are those the stock wheels? I Think you've convinced me to go that route.

thanks TallyHo

Thanks. I assume towing is fairly stable even with the lift. I haven't seen any complaints about that.

We love the extra clearance since we boondock 80-90% of the time. We have taken our 21 to MANY exciting locations and hundreds of miles of dirt or gravel roads. I see NO reason not to order it that way.

We like the extra clearance for stradling debris in the road too.

We also have the high lift option on our 21 and love the extra clearance. Makes it easier to get under the trailer for maintenance and we have been on some very uneven gravel roads it is nice not to worry about clearance.

We towed our 21 for a year before getting the high lift kit installed and didn’t notice a difference in towing.
