Ford Escape weight

Ford Escape curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier Escape may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter Ford Escape may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest Ford Escape was produced in 2001 with a weight of 2991 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2005 with 3792 lbs pounds in curb weight.

Explore the data below and compare how other Ford Escape body mass parameters like gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and payload capacity changed between the generations.
