2009 Ford Escape Limited V6 4WD

The top-tier Escape Limited V6 4WD has a 3.0-liter V6 and a six-speed automatic transmission as well as Ford’s four-wheel-drive system. All the options are here, including rear privacy glass, roof rails, and foglights, along with bright, 16-inch alloys so that everyone will know you got the best of the best. Traction control and a theft-deterrent system are included with the Limited V6 4WD, along with antilock brakes with anti-skid and a tire pressure monitor. Leather upholstery graces the front bucket seats and split-folding rear, and the driver’s seat has 6-way power. Convenience features for the Limited V6 4WD include air conditioning, cruise control, power mirrors, windows, and locks with remote keyless and keypad entry, and a tilt, leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls. An automatic day/night rearview mirror comes with a compass and an outside temperature indicator. A tachometer and variable-intermittent wipers are standard, as well as a rear wiper and washer with defogger, so both front and rear glass remain spotless. A center console provides additional interior storage, and the AM/FM/6-CD/MP3 changer is satellite ready. An iPod adapter, Bluetooth, and voice recognition are all included. Illuminated visor mirrors and automatic headlights brighten your night. Safety features are dual front, front side, and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment.
