FEH and FE are fundamentally different; they share interior, sheet metal and the top half of the frame. FEH is much heavier in the tail end, for one, and set up very differently; drivetrain is computer-controlled CVT + oddball gas + electric motor. Not sure how the newer version differs in construction versus the FE but the weight is still quite different.
That said it's not like driving an MB. Ours has never been offroad more than a few feet, so I can't speak to that; it's utility, not sport. And did I mention it probably needs shocks?.. -Tim not a risk taker On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 3:31 PM, Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Not much, I've ridden in both generations of Escape though and don't think > much of them.
