2008 - 2012 escapes... They can be awd... It's what I drive and I have an install thread on it...
Although it's an older newer vehicle there are Havis consoles, and whelen siren brackets purpose built for it...
I agree with you on that, I test drove escapes in that generation the last time I was looking at cars, but being a broke college student at the time, I had to go with the best deal I got which was my honda
the Escape is too small and uncomfortable for bigger people or anyone who has to wear gunbelts and equipment like law enforcement but thats me ... hope someone has other opinions
Absolutely agree with the current generation. I test drove one and felt squeezed in just in regular clothes. My full time job is
law enforcement, and thinking about it, I don't know if I really could get in and out of an escape with a duty belt on, I'd probably just get stuck.
I've been thinking about a ford edge, the only thing is I don't know where I'd mount a siren/light controller and a radio on that console, unless I replace it with some sort of generic console. I'[ve seen a few pics and videos of pds that have ford edges, most notable NYPD, but I haven't been able to find anything about how that cars are set up inside.
