For those with an interest in previewing the available options on the 2006 Escape Hybrid SUV, which is being built starting this week, please drop me an email and I will send the Ordering Guide PDF from Ford to you along with the current prices for each base and each option package. This is required reading before you approach a dealer. I also still have available a PDF which illustrates the installation of a towing hitch.

___I have read about the sunroof addition and possibly better interior appointments but what are the actual planned changes from the 05 to 06. The PDF is nice but given how few of the changes the consumer notices, the big ones are the ones I am most interested in. Sunroof, leather, seating function, safety additions, etc.
What's the story on the moonroof? I read on this forum and elsewhere that it is a $585 option on the 2006 models, but my dealer just told me it is ONLY available with the entire premium package (NAV system, leather, etc.). Is my dealer just trying to get me to buy more features than I want?

The 2006 is basically just an extension of the 2005 run. The model I sat in could have been my 2005 except for the hole in the roof and the heater controls for the mirrors and on the side of the driver's seat. Other things not noticed include a working PATS and an update on the PCM software (reasons unknown).
