Does Blue Ox Base Plate Fit 2024 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid
Question:
I spoke with Blue-Ox and they said that there base plate for the 2024 Ford Escape Plug in Hybrid BX2697 was not officially approved yet. Does your part # BLU82CR fit a 2024 Escape plug in hybrid...Have you installed any yet to verify that Ford did not make any changes between the 2023 and 2024 models. Thanks for your help. Bill

Hi Bill; I can understand wanting to make sure, and I can tell you the Blue Ox base plate will fit a 2024 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid, though no we have not done an install. We have our own team here dedicated specifically to these fits, and I can tell you that Roadmaster has officially verified the same base plate for the '23 fits the '24, and that the only change for the '24 Escape Plug-In Hybrid is that a couple of colors that aren't offered.
The big facelift of the Escape Plug-In Hybrid was done for the 2023 model year. So the Blue Ox base plate will fit, and I'll go ahead and list the parts out you need to flat tow in case you need more than just the base plate.
