My wife has an Escape with almost 90K on it. We have had great luck with it overall so I'd definitely recommend it. For a small Ute, it works great. If you've got to regularly haul 4 people and their stuff though, it's not big enough. Figure on it working well for a family of 3 but not more than that.
Other than that it's been a great ride. It's a loaded 2001 and we've taken it everywhere.
