If you're searching for a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium for sale in Detroit, MI, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales has this capable, feature-loaded SUV ready for a test drive — a proven performer that continues to be one of the most popular compact crossovers on the road today.

About This 2017 Ford Escape Titanium

The Titanium trim sits at the very top of the Escape lineup, meaning this isn't your base-level crossover. With 95,212 miles on the odometer, this 2017 Escape has seen real-world use — but that's well within the expected lifespan of a properly maintained Escape, which owners routinely drive past 150,000 to 200,000 miles without major issues. At this mileage and trim level, you're getting a lot of vehicle for your money. The Titanium badge means it left the factory loaded with premium features that would have commanded a significant premium when new.

2017 Ford Escape Performance and Engine

EcoBoost 2.0T Power Under the Hood

Under the hood sits Ford's well-regarded 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder turbocharged engine — a unit that punches well above its displacement class. This engine produces around 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, delivering a responsive, confident driving experience whether you're merging onto I-75, navigating downtown Detroit surface streets, or heading out on a weekend trip.

Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability, you have the option to take manual control of gear changes when the mood strikes. The 4WD drivetrain adds all-weather security — something Michigan drivers know the value of from November through March. Whether it's a slushy commute on the Lodge Freeway or a snowy run up to Northern Michigan, this Escape has the traction to handle it.

Ford Escape Titanium Features and Interior

What the Titanium Trim Includes

The Escape Titanium is Ford's fully-loaded expression of this platform. Buyers can expect features such as Ford's SYNC infotainment system with a touchscreen interface, voice-activated navigation, heated front seats, leather-trimmed seating, a power liftgate, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and a Sony premium audio system. The Titanium trim also typically includes a panoramic Vista Roof, push-button start, and automatic climate control — amenities that make every commute and road trip noticeably more comfortable.

The interior design is practical and driver-focused, with a well-organized center console, intuitive controls, and rear seating that's genuinely comfortable for adults. Cargo space behind the rear seats provides solid utility for grocery runs, gym bags, or weekend gear.

Ford Escape Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say About the 2017 Escape

The 2017 Ford Escape has earned a solid reputation in the compact SUV segment. It consistently receives praise for its car-like driving dynamics, above-average fuel economy for its class, and the breadth of features available at the Titanium level. The EcoBoost 2.0T engine, while performance-oriented, rewards owners who stay on top of oil change intervals and use quality synthetic oil.

At 95,000-plus miles, prospective buyers should budget for standard high-mileage maintenance items — timing belt service if not already completed, brake inspection, and fluid flushes. These are routine ownership costs that come with any used vehicle at this mileage, not red flags specific to this model. With proper upkeep, this Escape has a lot of life remaining. Ford's parts availability across the Detroit metro area makes ownership practical and affordable.
