Ford escape 4wd to awd or fwd?

I have new 2016 ford escape. Hate the way 4wd works. Is it possible to make it awd or fwd?

Yes, you CAN make it Front-Wheel Drive. Just remove the rear driveshaft.

If you wanted a " real " 4x4 - your should of put your money in a jeep

You're better off trading it in for either a fwd or awd vehicle.

Nope

Ford's "Intelligent 4WD" system resets to the default settings every time you turn the ignition off so even if you can set it to AWD or FWD it won't stay there. Removing parts isn't a good option either because it will cause a myriad of computer problems that will leave you with poor fuel economy and a broken 4WD system, both of which will greatly depreciate the value of the vehicle. You would be wise to sell it as is and put the proceeds into something that suits your tastes better.
