Dodge Journey vs. Ford Escape Review

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge over the Escape. The Dodge Journey is a better choice than the Ford Escape as far as hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of equipment or sizeable dogs. Towing is significantly more the Dodge Journey's forte than it is the Escape's.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Journey than the Ford because of its bigger tank. The Ford Escape and the Dodge Journey compete for the same parking spaces. The Ford Escape's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic than the Dodge Journey.

Convenience
The Dodge's fuel tank will need to be replenished somewhat more often than the unit in the Ford Escape.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Journey to the dealership as the Ford Escape. The Dodge will tax your gas budget considerably more than the Ford Escape will. Regarding fuel economy, the Ford Escape bests the Dodge Journey. With respect to MSRP, the Dodge Journey costs roughly as much as the Ford Escape (though the Ford Escape is somewhat cheaper). The Dodge Journey will cost you a lots_of_money in gasoline every year compared to the Ford.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Escape and the Dodge Journey most definitely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Journey and the Ford Escape have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Ford Escape. The Dodge Journey has no lessons to learn regarding torque from the Ford Escape.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Journey offers a bit more head room than the Ford Escape, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The Ford Escape provides more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Dodge does.

Warranty
The Dodge Journey and the Ford have the same basic after-sale protection.
