2013 Ford Escape Forscan Spreadsheet

[Candi Ruman]

Mydaughters 2020 Escape Titanium 2.0 with Premium Package apperently has the following items that are no longer available for 2021 due to decontenting: Steering wheel paddle shifters; 110v inverter outlet; led signal mirrors; engine cover; laminated acoustic front door glass; and possibly the acoustic windshield. We're really glad she didn't wait for a 2021 model. The only new addition for 2021 that hers doesn't have is speed sign recognition... I'll take all those deleted goodies over that any day. Eliminating the paddle shifters on the 2.0 models really doesn't make sense because the new Escape 2.0's are an absolute blast to drive in sport mode... but I haven't told my daughter that, lol!

Also spare tire is an option on the 21's. I was originally going to wait for the 21's to be available but when I saw all the decontenting I ran out and bought a 2020 Escape Titanium. $6,000 in rebates didn't hurt.

Good questions Torino1970 sir. These changes for 2021 Ford Escape Titanium are a combination of the usual Ford de-contenting as CoolScoop and dwg mentioned along with Ford's desire to make base price on 2021 Escape Titanium a little lower than the 2020 model.

Surprised to hear that since my 2020 Escape SE Sport has speed sign recognition as did the Titanium model I test drove without premium package. Mine has the premium package. Also has the wireless charging pad.

Disappointed to see all the decontenting on the 2021 model. I guess Ford doesn't benchmark their vehicles against the competition that offer auto dimming mirror, fog lights, side mirror signal lights, and one up and down power window as standard equipment on their mid level trims. Or they think their customers don't notice the deletions. All the above are safety related and should be standard on mid level trims on up.

My daughter's 2020 Titanium does show a speed sign but it's based on navigation/location not from actually reading signs, so it doesn't work everywhere. Speed sign recognition is new for 2021 according to the order guide and according to this thread at fordescape.org the 2020 has the required hardware and it can be be activated via Forscan:
