The roof rack is an option with the 2023 Ford Escape here at Barber Ford and can be used to carry cargo or bikes. It's made from aluminum, which is a lightweight and durable material. The rack is painted black to match the rest of the vehicle. The Ford Escape features LED signature lighting, which is a feature that has become more and more common across the industry. This feature uses LEDs instead of halogen bulbs for headlamps, fog lamps, and taillights.
In order to do this, the company had to re-engineer their headlights with a new reflector design to better direct light forward onto the road rather than up into oncoming traffic or downward into an adjacent lane.
The scuff plates are a decorative piece that adorn the side of the vehicle. They're made of chrome and illuminated by LED lights, which makes them look more impressive than they actually are. The only thing special about this feature is that it's a nice touch for those in Holland, MI who want to make their Ford Escape stand out from others on the road, but it doesn't add any functionality or practicality to your Ford Escape's design.
