electronic stability control

Re: electronic stability control
I bought mine because I didn't want a typical Hybrid which is small, slow, and ugly so I bought a Highlander. Which is Fast (0-60 in 7.4) unlike the Ford Escape Hybrid (0-60 in over 10 seconds), and big, seats 7, and very safe. Standard Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management which includes the Vehicle Stability Control system, 4 wheel 4 channel ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distrobution and Brake Assist, and Traction control, and Side Curtain Airbags.

Re: electronic stability control
But you obviously have regrets or are lost... You are posting in the Escape/Mariner section... So, stop justifying your 7k, turn your trolling motor off, and scurry back to your Highlander section...

Re: electronic stability control
Can anyone else confirm this 0-60 time for the FEH? Didn't think in offical tests, it was anywhere near that slow.

For the record, the reported 0-60 times of the Escape/Tribute/Mariners are certainly NOT 10+ seconds.
8.1 secs for the 6cyl
8.9 secs for the Hybrid

Re: electronic stability control
Was it a hybrid Escape that CU tested and saw the tip-up? I would guess the location and weight of the HVBattery would significantly change the center of gravity of the vehicle and perhaps change the test results. (better? or worse?)

The FEH did't change between 2005 and 2007. And the 08" has not been released, but it will still be dangerous
