Has anyone heard any rumors as to when the plug-in hybrid model will be available at dealerships? Ford's website says Spring of 2020, but their website doesn't even have a configurator up and running.

Plants are closed... watch for a press release about them opening. In some states, you can buy from dealer stock.

Stay well,

At the Atlanta Car Show they said June, but with the shut downs I'm guessing another month or two.

That makes sense. I was hoping sooner because it’s already available in Europe.

I didn't know they have a FEHP all ready.

The Escape is badged as the Kuga in Europe. Here's a YouTube review of the plug-in hybrid.

Good video, I saw where the EV only, AUTO EV and Hybrid switches were. I missed they at the Car Show.

Just talked to my Dealer and got a Vin# and will be built the week of Aug. 10th with delivery about two weeks later, around the end of the month. so about a month to go.

I'm guessing it's a 2021 model, correct? If so, did the dealer have configuration info? I can't find the 2021's on Ford's website.

dealer have configuration info

It's in the Order Guide thread.

'13+ USA Escape Order Guides

These USA Order Guides published by Ford are useful to see the details of what's standard equipment, available options, and included in the various option packages for each trim level for each model year. They also list changes and 'what's new' for each model year which is handy at times...

I got mine 10/28/20 when I ordered it from my Dealer, he printed it out from his advanced info, it does say " Proprietary " in the upper right hand corner.

It's hidden, but you can get the 2021 configuration on the ford.com website by starting a build-and-price for the 2020 Escape, and then changing the year in the URL to 2021. Or just click here: https://shop.ford.com/build/escape/?intcmp=show-bp#/select/
Unfortunately for me, this trick doesn't work on the Canadian website.
