Ford Hybrid SUVs
The Escape is Ford's hydrid SUV. It comes in two models, but they both have the same basic features. The difference lies in the extras that can be ordered with the Limited Edition. A hybrid is a vehicle that runs on a combination of gas and electrical power. Computers switch from one to the other when one will give better gas mileage than the other.
