Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For Carrying a Bike Rack on a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid
Question:
It appears all the hitches for 2021 Ford Escape say except Hybrid in the fitment. Is there a hitch that will fit my 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid SE 4wd? Preferably one that does not require drilling or other vehicle modification for installation. It will only be used for a bike rack, not towing. Thank you in advance.

I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR for your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid SE 4wd. This is the easiest receiver to install. You may need to enlarge the access holes if the square hole spacers will not fit into them but there is no other drilling or modification required for installation. This receiver will fit both Hybrids and non Hybrid trims so do not be confused as both are listed on the product page.
I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TE54FR so that you have a way to connect Auxiliary Lights # C53201 to your bike rack as most bikes will impair the clear view of your tail lights to other drivers.
The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22B is a great bike rack that will allow you to carry 2 bikes up to 60lbs each. It also features a built in bike repair stand to make it easier to fix an issues with your bike both at home and while away. The rack will also tilt away allowing you to access your rear storage without unloading the bikes. Built in lock cables and a hitch lock ensure that your bikes are secured to your Escape if you have to leave them.
