> Ford executives stressed that the Escape can go off-road.
Off road as in a gravel driveway
Wait until you hang an Escape on a log or rock with both axles off the ground. It is bad enough trying to find a good place to lift it without damage using a floor jack.

Note he said too big, not too long.
If this ever gets to be body on frame with solid axles I would be really surprised. Otherwise, Jeep has nothing to worry about with the Wrangler or Liberty.

I know its going to be though.
If I were FoMoCo, I'd build with a Dana 30 in the rear. dana 35C in the front, Inline 6 engine, NP 203, & leaf springs.

jeepers upgrade from that.
D44 front (at least)
9" rear (or current 1/2 ton axle)
NP205 (np203 is fulltime and chain drive)
three link wishbone
5.4L or better
or use a F350 chassis.
