Two reasons, typo (explorer, not escape) and driver space.I'm curious why you're considering the Maverick and Escape, but not the Bronco Sport, when they're all on the same platform?
I haven't yet driven the Maverick so can't speak to that but would much prefer the BS to the Escape. The height of the BS seating area and the rear cargo area makes it seem more spacious to me than the Escape.
They're also much more off-road capable than the Escape (especially in Badlands trim) but that may not be a driving factor for you.
I've spoken to people that have Mavericks and love them, I've just not gotten to drive one yet.
I guess the good news is that there are lots of solid choices to choose from across many brands
When I drove the bronco sport I really wanted to love it. But at 6'2", and sitting somewhat close to the steering wheel like I prefer (and to give back seats the most room), I felt like my knees were cramped side to side the whole time. And even with the seat all the way lowered I felt like the rear view mirror was blocking my view constantly.
