The Escape doesn't have a third row that I'm aware of, so I did have it on my short list. We are driving to Montgomery, AL (6hrs) tomorrow to potentially buy an 06 highlander Hybrid. Due to the potential financial storm I see coming, I've had to lower my standards on a few things, but I think its mechanically sound. Fingers crossed. By the way, is anyone interested in an 05 Armada? j/k
