About This 2017 Ford Escape Titanium AWD

With 117,737 miles on the odometer, this Escape is firmly in the "well-driven but still plenty of life left" category. Ford Escapes equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine and maintained properly are well-documented to run deep into the 150,000–200,000-mile range. At this mileage and price point, a buyer gets a fully loaded Titanium-trim SUV that has already absorbed the sharpest depreciation curve — meaning you get more truck for your dollar. Stock #1516 is Shadow Black, a color that looks sharp in both city traffic and suburban settings and does an excellent job hiding everyday road grime. For buyers in Detroit and across Wayne County, this is the kind of value-forward purchase that makes real financial sense.

2017 Ford Escape Performance and Engine

EcoBoost 2.0L Turbo — More Than Enough Power

Under the hood sits Ford's 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, producing 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. That's a genuinely strong output for a compact SUV — enough to merge confidently onto I-75, handle the Lodge Freeway with ease, or tow a small trailer up to 3,500 lbs. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers responsive acceleration without feeling harsh or jerky in stop-and-go city driving, which is exactly what Detroit commuters need. The AWD system adds traction confidence during Michigan winters — a non-negotiable feature for anyone dealing with snow, slush, and icy road conditions across Wayne County from November through March.

Ford Escape Titanium Features and Interior

What the Titanium Trim Actually Gets You

The Titanium is the range-topping Escape trim, and Ford loaded it accordingly. Buyers can expect leather-trimmed seating, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, a power liftgate, keyless entry and push-button start, and Ford's SYNC infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen. The Titanium also typically includes Ford's MyKey system, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors — technology features that were genuinely premium at this vehicle's original price point. The interior is practical and well-laid-out, with enough cargo space behind the rear seats for grocery runs, weekend gear, or hauling equipment across the city.

Ford Escape Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say About the 2017 Escape

The 2017 Ford Escape has a solid ownership reputation overall, particularly for buyers who keep up with routine maintenance. The 2.0L EcoBoost engine, while powerful, is best served by regular oil changes using the correct synthetic oil spec — Ford recommends 5W-30 full synthetic — and attention to the coolant system. Common items to watch at higher mileage include spark plugs, the PCV system, and the door seal weatherstripping, all of which are routine and affordable to address. The 6-speed SelectShift transmission is generally smooth and durable when serviced on schedule. Owners frequently praise the Escape's road manners, visibility, and interior comfort, and the AWD system adds meaningful long-term confidence for Midwest driving conditions. At 117,000 miles, a pre-purchase inspection is always smart — and a vehicle history report is available on this unit.
