Bottom Line

He gave no reason for his departure which is telling. Can’t help but think this is about slowing sales. Suspect we may see some big changes at Escape in the coming months.

Underpowered

Payload of 1800 is great, but towing capacity of 6500 is getting on the light size. On mountain passes this could be a challenge.

Manual is our choice

Manual for two reasons.: 1)You cans adjust the tilt for additional shade. 2) Much less to breakdown as opposed to the power mechanism.

Would get the manual again in a heartbeat.

Totally agree. This is our route each year. Like California. Tip here is stay on I-5 and out of Sacramento. Much easier. Google Maps will try to correct you.
