You wouldn't want your vehicle to go missing, but if it were a 2018 Ford EcoSport, a popular crossover, if someone took your vehicle, the Sync Connect Feature would be able to locate it. So, imagine that you parked your vehicle on the street one night, and in the morning it was no longer there. Sync Connect would be able to find it.

Ford has included seating for five in their version of the compact SUV—the Ford Escape. You would think that the label of “compact” would mean cramping of space in the interior.

A four-wheel drive vehicle can offer many benefits. In order for you to shift your truck from two-wheel to four-wheel drive, you need to engage the help of either the chain drive or gears inside the transfer case.
