Ford Motor Company followed this new standard when measuring the new 2001 Ford Escape's cargo area. The new standard has not yet been uniformly implemented by all automotive manufacturers. Due to this differing way of measuring, the Escape's rear cargo volume with the second row seat folded is not credited with being as generous as some of its competitors. However, using the old SAE measuring system, Escape's cargo area is best-in-class.
