Tow setup

We have the same exact setup as you. (F-150 ecoboost and 5.0TA). Towing in Central Idaho mountains is often in snow and slush in winter. As has been mentioned, slow down and allow more distance. I’m...

Moving to idaho

We’ve lived in Idaho for 53 years. Your Escape should get a great deal of use. If you are looking where to choose between IF and Pocatello, I’d choose IF. Why? Closer to outdoor activities in my...

Gravel Roads

It’s all about speed!

We use our 5.0 almost exclusively on back roads. We have even taken it on some jeep trails. The worse the road, the slower you go. Can’t emphasize that enough.

Carrying a boat

We were whitewater rafters for many years. You can’t carry a raft on a 5.0, so next trick. If you like to flatwater kayak, which we also like to do you can build a kayak that splits in 3 pieces....

No problems

We’ve had Escapes since 2011. We’ve had State Farm and Auto Owners insurance in that time. We’ve never had a problem with either company on insurance. I would tend to think that the agent handling...

Towing on snow and ice

We’ve never had a problem. That being said, don’t overdrive. By that, I mean, don’t speed. The 5.0 tracks very well. Heavy snow packed roads are no problem. As far as glare ice, stay home! Nobody...

Escape Hatch replacement

Has anybody replaced the “escape hatch” over the bed of a 5.0 TA? We had an old 5.0 and the escape hatch whose cover was clear and it sure was nice to lay in bed and see the stars. Our 5.0 TA has a...

We have gone both ways with our 5.0TA. Road is quicker from Ely and you would probably run out of any chance of snow after 50-75 miles. Some camp spots along the way, as well.

I agree here. What we did was add a small piece of plywood and two stout drawer slides under the table. Now our table slides side to side and front to back. Table still doubles as a bed and we have...

No, the truck is not. The 5th wheel is, however, for sale. Please remember that almost any truck can pull an Escape. We get 17+ miles to the gallon towing the trailer.
