Does having a lowered suspension on a Ford Escape SE make it easier to get into?
My brother gave me his old 2000 Ford Escape SE to take to college. While I am excited to get a free car, I am only 4'5," and it is pretty hard for me to climb into. Will a lowered suspension make the Escape easier for me to get in?

The
Ford Escape SE
is a high SUV and lowering the suspension would make it easier to get into. Still, we don’t recommend a lowered vehicle if this is the only reason you want to make this particular modification
. Lowering your suspension can be expensive, between $1000 - $5000 for an Escape, and it impacts the look and feel of the vehicle as you drive. Thankfully, there is a much cheaper alternative!
You can have a running board (priced between $150 - $280) or a side step (priced between $60-$125) added to the driver side of your
Ford
. This is a great way to solve a problem and
save money
! Another great way to save some cash is by downloading the Jerry
app. Jerry is America’s best-rated insurance
super app
, saving users on average $800+ per year on car insurance. Once you download the Jerry super app
, just answer a few questions. It will take about 45 seconds to complete and you’ll immediately get car insurance quotes for coverage similar to your current plan. View full answer
