Trailer Hitch Recommended for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
Question:
Wondering if you have any hitch options that will fit on a 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid?
asked by: Tim
Expert Reply:
We sure do. I'd recommend the etrailer Class 3 hitch, part # e89YR which is a confirmed fit for the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # TE54FR, a ball mount like # D-28 and a hitch pin like # PC3 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball. I've linked to an installation video for the wiring harness as well as to the installation instructions for the hitch I recommended.
The # e98866 hitch you'd looked at is a fit for the previous generation Escape model, and wouldn't fit your vehicle.
