Question 3rd Row Seat?

Is/was the Escape avilable with a 3rd row seat?

I hope not!

I don't think it ever was - the cargo area is quite small in the Escape compared to the Explorer and I didn't think THAT should have ever had a third row seat.

Making the Explorer big enough for a 3rd row seat ruined it.

The Escape is basically a cut down version of the Explorer.

Not even close. The Explorer is built on a truck frame with rear-wheel drive. The Escape is built off a Mazda car platform with front-wheel drive. Different engines and different transmissions. Maybe they share a radio or something.

I was speaking as to the basic size of the vehicle. Thanks for the class on Ford design and specs anyway.
