For the 2017 model year, Ford has replaced the manual parking brake on the Escape with an electric model. Ford has also taken the gear shifter and moved it back farther on the center console. This helps to increase storage space and elbow room. Overall, the new crossover offers 25 percent more front row storage space than previous models. Moving the shifter backwards also places the driver’s right arm in a more comfortable position.2017 Ford Escape front console
