2009 Ford Escape XLS w/ Manual

The 2009 Ford Escape XLS w/ Manual is powered by a 2.5-liter inline four with a five-speed manual transmission. For power delivery, traction control is standard, and a theft-deterrent system will make sure the truck stays in your driveway. Antilock brakes with anti-skid are also included, as well as 16-inch alloys and a tire pressure monitor. The front bucket seats and split-folding rear are all covered in cloth upholstery. There are plenty of convenience features even for this base trim, including air conditioning, cruise control, power mirrors, windows, and locks with remote keyless entry, and a tilt steering wheel. A tachometer is included as well as variable-intermittent wipers, a rear wiper and washer with defogger, a center console, and an AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with digital media connection. Safety features include dual front, front side, and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment.
