We’ve already spoken about some of the specs and features of the 2018 Ford Escape, but what safety features does this popular SUV offer to its drivers? Let’s find out.
What is AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control?
AdvanceTrac is basically technology that uses sensors in order to assist the driver when they are steering. This means that it uses its sensors in order to monitor the vehicle, and how it’s being driven. For example; if the driver accidentally turns the steering wheel too much for the road that they are on, the AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control can help correct that motion. It also helps maintain the correct speed when going through curves on the road.
To go along with the AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, the Ford Escape also offers Trailer Sway Control in some packages. The Max towing capacity for some trim levels of the 2018 Ford Escape is 3,500 lbs. In order to help keep your cargo under control, the Trailer Sway Control helps by reducing the speed or torque of your vehicle.

Ford Safe and Smart Package
So what is all in in the Ford Safe and Smart Package? You’ll get a Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, which means that your vehicle will tell you if there is another car in your blind spot, as well as if there is a car behind you when backing up. This can help prevent any accidents due to a vehicle that you didn’t see.
Parking Assist and Test Drives
Does anyone else hate parallel parking? Because we know it can be a pain. Now, the 2018 Ford Escape offers Enhanced Active Park Assist, which can help you not only find a spot that your SUV can safely fit into, but it also helps you get into that pace by helping you steer.
