Expert Answers about Ford EcoSport


  • How Can Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier Get Installed on 2019 Ford EcoSport with Flush Rails
  • If you'd be willing to remove the flush rails on the roof of your 2019 Ford EcoSport so that you could install a naked roof Yakima rack that fits your vehicle like the JetStream kit part # Y00425, # Y28TR, # Y06129, and # Y06169 you'd have a great way to install the Thule Hullavator part # TH898! There isn't an aftermarket roof rack configuration out there though that will fit with the flush rails you have now.

  • Will Malone Cargo12 Cargo Box # MPG901 Fit a 2018 Ford Ecosport Titanium?
  • The Malone Cargo12 Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG901 will fit your 2018 Ford EcoSport if you have a roof rack with crossbar spread within 24" - 28". It will work with all types of crossbar styles. If you need a roof rack, we actually don't have any options available for your vehicle that will work with the required crossbar spread of the Malone Cargo12. For a roof rack, I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 with the BaseLine Towers # Y28TR with BaseClip Fit Kits # Y06129 and #...

  • Recommended Crossbars for 2019 Ford EcoSport with Factory Side Rails
  • For your 2019 Ford EcoSport with factory flush rails, we don't have a confirmed fit from any of our manufacturers as of 6/2020. If you have raised side rails, I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 50" Long # MPG215. This is a great universal crossbar option for raised side rails.

  • Trailer Hitch Sizes Available for a 2018 Ford EcoSport
  • There are two trailer hitch options available for a 2018 Ford EcoSport, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12188 and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36660 which both have a 1-1/4" receiver tube openings. Therefore, they do not offer a trailer hitch for a 2018 Ford EcoSport with 2" receiver tube opening. However, you can obtain a 2" receiver tube opening with an adapter like the Hitch Expander Adapter part # 80303 but keep in mind these reduce your tongue weight capacity...

  • Recommended E-Bike Rack w/ a Ramp for a class II 1-1/4 Receiver
  • It looks like the hitches available for the Ford EcoSports are 1-1/4" class II hitches which limits you in options for heavy e-bikes. With this in mind and the need for a loading ramp I recommend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack item # Y96FR. The OnRamp has a 66 lbs per bike capacity which is our strongest option for class II hitches. This is a frame mounted bike rack that will fit a variety of styles of e-bikes and will completely avoid any fenders your e-bike may have. It has an integrated...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Availability for a 2018 Ford EcoSport
  • They do not make a class III trailer hitch receiver for your 2018 Ford EcoSport. Instead, you will need to choose from either the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36660 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12188 which both have a class II rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. I prefer the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver as it is more cost effective and will not require the use of a support strap like part # 18050 for non-towing accessories. If you can tell me what you...

  • Is Lowering Exhaust to Install Hitch on 2018 Ford EcoSport Difficult
  • Lowering the exhaust to install a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 36660 on a 2018 Ford EcoSport is not difficult at all. It's actually almost a standard step for hitch installs it's required so frequently. It's typically just a matter of needing a pry tool like # ALL648544 and some spray lube to get the hangers off. You just need to pry the rubber isolators off of the hangers and you're set.

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack for 2019 Ford EcoSport Titanium with Rear Sensors
  • Based on my research the four rear sensors on your 2019 Ford EcoSport are located along the bumper beneath the hatch. With this in mind your best bet to try and avoid too much interference will be with a hanging-style rack that features a center vertical mast. The rack itself won't block the sensors at all, as they are spaced apart so that the center mast would extend upward between them. A platform-style rack on the other hand may block the sensors by itself. The potential sensor interference...

  • Picture of 2-Bike Trunk Rack Installed on 2018 Ford Ecosport
  • I attached a picture of the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 you mentioned on a 2018 Ford EcoSport like you have. This is a really great trunk rack option we recommend highly. It has locks for the rack and bikes (most don't), is easy to install, and has a wide mounting pad on the lower arm to help spread the weight of the bikes and rack out. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike...

  • Comparing the Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for Bike Rack on a 2021 Ford EcoSport
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch # C12188 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36660 that fit your 2021 Ford EcoSport have the same design and weight ratings so the biggest difference is that the Curt has a thicker powder coat so it will do a better job at resisting damage from any road debris and the elements. If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR because of the ease of use and the unique U-Shaped frame that helps make loading/unloading your...

  • How To Diagnose 4-Way Trailer Wiring That Only Has Running Lights On 2020 Ford Ecosport
  • If you do not already have one, it would be a good idea to get a 4-pole tester such as the Curt LED 4-Way Flat Connector (Vehicle End) Tester # I26. Using this tester, you can verify if the vehicle wiring is working properly. If the 4-pole tester verifies that you are having issues at the vehicle end, not trailer end, then make sure all of the connections are good on the vehicle's trailer wiring kit using a circuit tester like the Circuit Tester Kit # PTW2993. Verify the ground wire...

  • As long as the beach cruisers you have weigh less than 35 lbs per bike the Saris Bones # SA801BL would be fine. If your bikes are heavier you'd need a hitch bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z with a hitch like the # 36660 and you'd be set.

  • Air Mattress Recommended for 2020 Ford Eco Sport
  • Yes, the AirBedz XUV Air Mattress # 341031 is confirmed to fit your 2020 Ford Eco Sport. The mattress comes with an integrated pump which is super convenient. That being said, if you ever forget to recharge the pump at home, you can still inflate it using a standard portable pump, like # 341023. Or, you can use # 341024 to recharge the built-in pump through your car's 12V cigarette lighter.
