2008 Ford Escape Hybrid: 500K Miles, Still In Patrol Service

A white base-model 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid has just crossed 500,000 miles, which possibly makes it the highest-mileage Escape Hybrid on the road.
That's much higher than the Escape Hybrids with 300,000 miles of taxi service in San Francisco--at which point they were retired.
Bayer Protective Services, a private security-patrol company in Sacramento, California, owns the hybrid Escape--known as Car 804.
It's part of the company's fleet of Ford Escapes--both hybrid and regular.
And Car 804 remains in active duty, although the company did have the car detailed and tuned up to celebrate its half-million-mile mark.
"The car has had a full life," says company executive Adam Bayer.
But as of today, it's going back into 23-hour-per-day service.
