Ford Escape off road capabilities?

Hee - I love the name - "faux-wheel-drive" - think I'll try to see if I can
get it adopted here in the colonies.

I believed that Aussies preferred the LandCruiser because there was less
chance of it breaking down in the outback.. and that LandRovers are used in
a mine someplace in Aus because the mine is so wet that everything rusts
like all hell and they are relatively cheap.. maybe the Ford Escape will
find its niche 'down under''.. lol
