got to give ford credit where credit is due as they have did quite the make over in the new 2017 escapes, in which i just purchased about a month and a half ago this is my second escape, my other was 09 escape xlt - 3.0 liter and if it was not for the gas mileage i would have never sold it, had around 230.000 km went through some oil, about a gt between changes as rear seal was leaking the ride quality ford gave the new escapes is nothing short of amazing a dire improvement over my 09 for sure along with wind noise being vastly improved also -great job ford keep it up as for the undercarriage cover i guess i will except it as i usually change my own oil protection the undercarriage like i guess will not hurt and adds protection for the front end parts etc, i guess as far as improving gas mileage well that's debatable , all in all i quite except the new ford escape, the 2.0 echo boost is quite the power house compared to my 3.0 liter 09 escape at any rate i have to give ford a thumbs up here folks on the new escape
