Hello,
I just was on google and I came on to your site. I'm considering replacing my 2005 Silverado 4.3L 5speed with an Escape. I was wondering what years are best? I've heard 2005+ because the engine was revised but I'm not sure if there is much truth to that. My parents have a 2005 Escape AWD and they are able to get things done and still get good gas mileage. I do mountain bike almost every day and the truck is handy for loading up a bunch of bikes to take to wherever we are going riding. So I think I would want to get a hitch installed to put my bike rack on it. Also how hard is it to find an escape in a 5speed? My truck took me years to find but right now I drive too much and I'm putting about $97 a week in gas into it. The biggest selling point is seating for more than 3 in a bench seat.
Anyways here are some pictures.
Here is my truck...

He was too tired to drive home.
Thanks in advance.
