Group, You may want to look in the Files section to a PDF document titled "Escape_Fusion Hybrid Handbook". This was prepared for dealer training and highlights...
OK, possibly I got a bit carried away with the 200+ deg. Let's go with your measured example of 145 degrees. There is no way for the battery pack to stay 25...
If you put a room temperarure turkey in a 400 degree oven, does the turkey instantly go to 400 degrees? If that were true, then your turkey would be "ready"...
Before someone gets on my case about being too simple in my answers below, I was trying to keep it simple. Of course heat transfer is driven by delta T. On...
Sounds like you got a good deal. I never see a new one advertised on the internet for anywhere close to that figure. Still way too much money for peons like...
As referenced below the tech data from EAA on the FEH your estimate of minimal BTUs might be a little optimistic, 5 KW is what 17000 BTUs that's a good size...
I had to pay MSRP in July 09 for my 2009 FEH, I ordered it in the Spring of 09. I asked the dealer in May of 2010 if they were still getting MSRP and they...
The cost is probably way too much! Gerry has pointed out the same reasons I have justified it. Looking at it in a larger sense, I think the FEH is a little...
It's not tiny, nor insignificant, but small compared to what people are assuming. Also, you draw power for just a few SECONDS at a time in a FEH. It is...
I have priced the one I want on the Ford website and it comes to $34,825. That's an AWD Limited without the nav system. I agree it's a steep price, but we do...
Mike, glad to here you ordered one. The programming changes along with the variable cam and higher horsepower give the new FEH a completely different feel....
Yes, but even a few seconds for 250 cells will heat them in a hurry, I don't know about you, but I try to maximize my "all electric" drive which if I am lucky...
I bought my '05 for MSRP in '06. Around $32k. What other thing still has so nearly the same price as it did five years ago? Interesting. Situation I'm getting...
Howdy, all, Neil from LB, CA here... I'm the guy who, after driving our then-new `08 MMH for a few weeks, realized how PUNY-sounding the factory horn was. So I...
I filled up today for the first time (My dealer always delivers vehicles with a full tank of gas). I have 524 total miles and 490.2 trip miles. Although I...
I have a 2006 FEH with cloth interior. Anyone on the list know the secret to releasing the seat lock on the left rear folding seat back. I pull the black...
You are folding the lower seat cushion out of the way first? That seat back might have been damaged in one of the wrecks, Reg. Pull the handle. Does it move...
Dear Sue, Yes the lower cushion(s) is safely out of the way and is easily removed from my FEH. Not damaged during a wreck but the Ford boys have had so much...
What is the EPA rated FE for the 2010? Is it the same as 2009 or did they bump up the rating? RayP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I have known my MEC pump to be an issue since May, and have sat on the replacement part trying to get the time and a place for me to do the replacement. The...
Mine got stuck after a car break-in and glass or something got caught in latch mechanism. I was concerned that too much force on handle would break it. I...
I think I have figured out how Ford was able to increase the top EV speed. It appears that the gear ratio between the Motor/Generator and the drive line has...
Gary, Is that reduced torque noticable when backing up? Or is the reverse power from a different place in the transmission system and won't change? Now is too...
Mechanics pulled diagnostic codes yesterday on my 05 FEH and they all have to do with the MEC pump failure before the replacement. So, for now, I am assuming...
Letter from Ford. "...and while your local dealership,(name of dealership) will no longer be in operation as part of our dealer network..." No great loss to me...
Hi Hybrid_ford_escape, I set up a Facebook profile where I can post my pictures, videos and events and I want to add you as a friend so you can see it. First,...
