The sometimes silent running Ford Escape Hybrid is one of the vehicle choices of the LA County Lifeguards. After a good talk with one of the lifeguards about his experiences in the Escape Hybrid, we kicked back by the Santa Monica Bay for a bit, before navigating our sleek black Escape Hybrid test drive vehicle through beach communities to play some volleyball.
Everyone's paying attention to what is happening with the auto industry these days. So far Ford has escaped any need for bailout money. Certainly the automaker's Escape hybrid has played its role in keeping Ford afloat, while providing lifeguards torque on the sand and and the rest of us with a robust SUV with high fuel-efficency on the road.
