The Escape Hybrid provides amazing fuel economy for a vehicle with this much space. Owners might worry about their dog standing on top of the big hybrid battery pack, but Ford says not to worry. The battery pack is tightly sealed so there's no risk of a doggie "accident" turning into a disaster. Ford also provides lots of dog-friendly aftermarket accessories for the Escape.
