5 Things That Make the Ford Ecosport an Ideal Prepper Vehicle

There are many things in this world that is out of our control. Even in our day to day existence, we often find ourselves in unexpected situations that make achieving our goals, or simply completing our itinerary very challenging. They say change is a constant and those who will thrive are the ones who are able to adjust and adapt to whatever predicament life throws at them. It helps to have a car that is equally versatile, capable of facing the daily chaos in the urban jungle. Here some features that make the Ford Ecosport an ideal car for the prepper in all of us:

  1. Generous Cargo Space – Do not be fooled by the Ecosport’s compact dimensions. This little SUV from Ford’s stable offers one of the best luggage space in its class even with the rear seats occupied. Fold them down and you get a whopping 1178 liters of total space. Also, the seats fold completely flat so loading and unloading items will be much easier. You can carry with you your entire camping arsenal and survival kit wherever you go. You’ll never know when there’ll be a zombie apocalypse.

  2. Electric Power Assisted Steering – Stable, responsive steering is the mark of a high-quality drive, and the EcoSport doesn’t disappoint. Electric power-assisted steering is designed to adjust to feel ‘lighter’ in slow traffic and ‘heavier’ at higher speeds for better control. At the same time, it can adapt to changing road and weather conditions, compensating for factors like cross-winds and potholes. Best of all, it only comes to your assistance when it’s needed, saving you fuel as you drive.

  3. 209mm Ground Clearance – Flooded streets? No problem. The New EcoSport is monsoon-ready. It puts 209mm of ground clearance between you and the road, potholes, rough surfaces or whatever else is in your way. Add good approach and departure angles and you’re basically ready for anything the city can throw at you.

  4. Smart Keyless Entry – Fumbling through your bag for your car keys is a thing of the past with Smart Keyless Entry. All you need is your key fob and your EcoSport Titanium’s doors will automatically unlock at your touch when you’re nearby. Quite a handy feature when you’re trying to somewhere, or away from something, fast.

  5. Entertainment System – Enjoy listening to your favorite playlist or even watch a movie via a 9” touch screen as you’re stuck idling in a gridlock. With Ford, safety is of paramount importance so screen display is disabled whenever the vehicle is moving. Suddenly, carmaggedon doesn’t seem so bad anymore.
