Escapes (V6 and I4) have chains.

The Duratec V6 is chain-driven. The 2.3L I4 may be chain-driven, I don't now, but the pre-'05 2.0L Zetec I4 definitely has a belt. Gates recommends replacing it at 120,000 miles. It's listed as a non-interference engine, so a broken belt shouldn't damage the engine.

Yep, the 2.3 is chain driven. I checked it out before getting my new one (05 4-banger).

The latest Gates timing belt catalog now lists the Escape Zetec I4 as an interference engine. The change interval is still listed as 120,000 miles.

I'm glad I read this before. The Ford dealership tried to tell me I needed to change my belt and I probably have a chain and not quite 120,000 miles yet. Thanks!
