Which Year?

Howdy, I'm new to this forum and I am in the market for a smaller suv and I like the looks of the Escape so I thought I would ask some questions. It looks like I will be buying a used unit so which are the best years to look for? What type of equipment should I look for or stay away from? What kind of mileage can I expect from a 4X4? Which engine? It will be our primary transpotation. Haul a small pickup bed trailer for camping?
Thanks in Advance,
Bob

V6 awd will get you 17-18 in town and 19-20 on the highway if driven easily. 4 will be better, but less power.

2003 or newer
