Question:
Looking for a trailer hitch for a 2000 Escape. Would you have one that year? Thank You

Expert Reply:
The first year we have parts and hitches for Ford Escapes is 2001. They may have been released at the end of 2000 but the first model year in our system is 2001. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13506.
The Curt Hitch item # C13506 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight that can be increased to 5,000 lbs and 500 lbs when used with a weight distribution hitch. This hitch is made in the USA and weighs 31 lbs.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C55343 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
