I haven't looked under the hood of an 05 Escape yet. Does it have the computer box on the top/center of the firewall with a single wiring harness bolted to it like the Ranger and Exporer (and earlier Escapes)?
If so, I can do an SCT Tuner for it loaded with 3 custom tunes (that you can then further modify yourself... I know you're that type of person!). Let me know the PCM code and I'll get back to you.
The code should be 3 letter follow by one number. Try this: open the passenger side door. On the door frame (not the door) near the hinges look for a white sticker and tell me the code on that.
Okay, open the hood. You'll see a box sticking through the top/center of the firewall with a wiring harness bolted to it. There should be a white sticker on that box. Let me know everything you see on that sticker.

That's the calibration id, which can be used for a reverse lookup for the box code. When you find that, you usually find the 4 digit "box code" as well, which is what I program by. Don't know about the Aussie trucks, but here generally the cal id will be in a much smaller font on the sticker than the "box code."
The '05 Escape went to a new PCM type. The one I looked at, had 3 connectors rather than one like the pre-'05s. I read that it uses a different chip and diagnostic interface.
The code that I posted earlier is from the 4th linkage that sits to the left of the three connectors as you're facing the firewall from the front of the vehicle.
So my question now is--if there is not a current tuner with the GVY6 code available, can one be custom made anytime soon, or will we have to wait awhile?
