Good luck with it and enjoy!
Personally I would've looked at an Edge rather than an Escape....imo

0% financing, more options then the similar optioned Edge at $15,000 cheaper, 37mpg hwy, excellent safety review. Dont get me wrong I liked the Ford Edge too, just felt it was way over priced for what I was getting!

We replaced the wife's Eclipse last summer with a fully loaded 4x2 Hyundai Tucson Limited. We looked at several competing offerings. The 2012 Escape wasn't even a consideration - unless your into the 90's SUV look. We test drove an Edge, and while I liked it a lot more, it also cost 10k+ more comparably equipped. Plus it only gets 15 mpg to the Tucson's 22/31. The Edge is also a class size up - more comparable to the Santa Fe. We've had the Tucson a year now and really like it. It hauls our two dogs just fine. 
I had a really hard time justifying 40k+ for an Edge. I really agree with Loaded_FX4 in that it's over priced for what you get. A comparable 40k F150 is MUCH more vehicle. I hope to replace my 2003 FX4 with a 2013 F150 in the not too distant future.
