One of the first Escape Hybrids to arrive in Vancouver, British Columbia (ordered 8 July 2004 -- picked-up from dealer on 25 October 2004).

Titanium Green in colour, with intelligent 4WD, side airbag/curtain, leather seats/steering wheel, 110V (150W) power outlet, in-dash 6-CD stereo, rear floor mats & cargo cover. A full hybrid with electric-only operation up to 40+ kph (25+ mph).

We added Ford's rubber floor mats (front/back) and mud flaps, and for "entertainment" use a DLO TransPod/60GB iPod and a removable 2-screen DVD system.

This is our primary family vehicle, with my 1964 Plymouth Valiant (the "anti-hybrid") remaining as a back-up -- see its photographs at: www.cardomain.com/memberpage/666653

I've posted a review/opinion of our Escape Hybrid starting four months into ownership (6,500 km of use) on-line at:
