★ Top Answer
To determine if the 2014 Ford Escape comes with a timing belt or chain, you need to identify the engine size in your vehicle. As per the manufacturer's specifications, the 2.0 Liter engine comes with a timing chain, while the 1.5 Liter and 1.6 Liter engines are equipped with a timing belt. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages: a timing belt is cheaper to replace, but it requires servicing every 100,000 miles, and should be replaced if signs of wear are present. On the other hand, the timing chain is designed to last the vehicle's lifetime but can be damaged by engine heat, leading to stretching and warping.
