I mean, you low key proving OPs point. That is a pain in the ass to get to. For basically, forever it's been under the hood in the front, and the easiest thing to get to.
I wasn't trying to disprove the point, I was just curious what ford vehicles the battery is up front and impossible to remove.
And honestly, for how often a battery needs to be removed, under the spare tire in the back is not bad at all, and there are still jump points under the hood and easily accessible. Clearly labeled too.
Probably talking about an Escape. Half the battery is under the wiper cowl, but it's still not bad to change if you know what you're doing.
It is a 2014 Ford Escape. But this is not the only experience of this sort that I've had with Ford.
