Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Ford Escape will cost more in terms of transportation costs than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

The Ford Escape is slightly shorter than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which may make it easier to park.
Drivetrain
With its lower torque engine, the Ford Escape doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mitsubishi Outlander.
