Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Ford Escape Titanium

Question:

Looking for a towing kit for my 2015 Ford Escape Titanium. I am looking to see what I need for all the wiring and the hitch itself. Want to make sure I am getting all I need and the correct one.

The Draw-Tite part # 75758 would work great for a hitch for your 2015 Ford Escape as it does not require any drilling and because it would not interfere with the hands free liftgate from operating.

This is a Class III hitch that would have plenty of capacity and would offer more hitch accessory flexibility than a 1-1/4 inch hitch.

For trailer wiring then the # 118566 would be what you need.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
