2013 Ford Escape 1.6L or 2.0L

The price difference isn’t that much more, and the MPGs are negligible at best. You get over 60 more horse power and about 100 ft./lbs of torque with the 2.0.
Either way, just make sure you feed it premium fuel and full synthetic oil and you’ll get long life out of it. The turbo will make the trips through the mountains a little easier for you.
