The best tool I've found for comparing dimensions is https://www.edmunds.com/car-comparisons/. Add the 2021 BS, then add the Escape of your choice, I used my 2007, then you can directly compare specs and size.
I've got a few Bronco Sport dislikes to add. These may seem nitpicky but they are concerns.
I'm coming from a 2007 Escape AWD used primarily to haul bikes (2x on a hitch rack, 3x on a roof rack), or 2x kayaks on a roof rack. I also sleep in the back on occasion.

I did consider buying from Granger, shipping to socal runs $1000 -$1800, open transport at the low end and enclosed at the high end. That kind of erases the price savings for us. Too bad we can't buy through Granger and take local delivery.
Yeah, that's what I wanted to see too. It looked like the seat backs were sloped even when folded down, which doesn't work for sleeping, although some weight might level it out. My '07 Escape goes completely flat in the back, but my seat bottoms are removable (or fold forward) which doesn't seen...
Any information or thoughts on whether the back seats will fold down completely flat? I'm in an '07 Escape Hybrid and the rear seats go down perfectly flat and level, no slope to the seat backs. That's become a must have feature for me for sleeping in the back and cargo carrying. On my old...
