Well my kid just bought a 04 v6 escape 160420mi, is there anything I need to be aware of for this vehicle? I check it all out and online it was a one owner car all maintance done and documented from dealer from the carfax I pulled up. I myself own two fords a 05'F250 CC Lariet 6.0 and a 08'Expy El 5.4. I can say this site help me out on both my other vehcles especially the Expy spark plug change. So any advice on this escape would be great that way it keeps the daughter out of my f250.

 

Our 2004 v6 is sitting over 277,000 miles and still gets 24mpg on the highway. I say keep up on the maintenance and you should be good.
Tranny fluid changes -36k
oil/filter changes - 3-5k
Air filter when needed
Fuel filter - 36k
Coolant swap every couple years
Common issue is sway bar end links, you'll get a clunk in the from end.

Have fun!
