Expert Reply:
For your 2009 Ford Escape the Curt Hitch part # 13650 would be an excellent choice for a hitch. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you would want the Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # 118551. Install video attached as well.
For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.
