dm1333,

Glad you added the Escape. Do add the Tribute as it's a better looking version and has been tweaked by Mazda specs to handle a little more crisply.

If you do add the fwd Escape/Tribute to your list, know that the 5spd is rated for towing 1500 lbs. The auto is 1000 lbs. I think. The fwd 5 spd has traction and stability control as well as ABS. I do a lot of driving in snow (to go skiing) and the fwd with limited slip has worked well even with several inches of snow on the road. So my thinking is that most people don't really need awd. With gas at $4/gal now, a lot of folks may be coming to that realization.
