  • Correct Motor For Ventline V2265 Bathroom Fan
  • Some versions of the Ventline fan V2265 have the plug that part # BCD0390-00 connects right into. Not all of them do and you can cut the connector off and hardwire it in. Or we also carry part # BCD0390-01 and hardwire it. The motors are the same. You read correct that your PC41 hood uses the same motor. As well as the V2128 Ventadome, and hoods PH41, PD41, C1245, and C1246.

  • Hitch e98886 Not Wide Enough For 2014 Ford Escape
  • Thank you for your purchase of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98866 for your 2014 Ford Escape. The issue you are seeing with the hitch not appearing wide enough is called "flexing" and can be an unfortunate byproduct of the what happens during the shipping process. What happens is the mounting brackets get bent inward a bit during shipping, and while it doesn't affect the integrity of the hitch, it can make it seem like the hitch doesn't fit. So you will need to bend the brackets...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
  • I am happy to help you find a hitch for your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. I contacted Draw-Tite to discuss the # DT92RR hitch, and they are currently researching its compatibility with the Hybrid model after discovering issues with fitment near the exhaust. I recommend you go with the Curt # C23FR hitch. It is a confirmed fit for the Hybrid and there are some helpful customer reviews showing it installs and works well on your vehicle. The Curt hitch is a 2 inch instead of a 1-1/4 which will...

  • Will Aftermarket Hitch Receiver # 75758 Interfere with Hands-free Lift Gate Option
  • Some of the hitches that fit your 2015 Ford Escape with the Hands-free Lift Gate option will block one or more of the hands-free lift gate sensors but those at the side of vehicle near the exhaust pipes will still function as they do now. This just means that with one of these particular hitches installed if you are standing in a specific position at the rear of the vehicle, one or more of the sensors may not detect your presence but the others will. You have the option to choose a 2-inch...

  • Roof Rack For 2017 Ford Escape With Bare Roof to Carry 2 Thule Hullavators
  • We can absolutely get your 2017 Ford Escape with a bare roof set up to carry a pair of Thule Hullavators. What you will need is a roof rack system from Yakima, as this is the only brand that can accommodate the crossbar length you need to carry a pair of Hullavators. I will list out everything that is needed for the roof rack that fits your '17 Escape, and I'll also add the part numbers for you for the locks for both the Yakima rack as well as two Hullavators. - Yakima JetStream Crossbars...

  • Is The Tekonsha T-One Kit # 118251 A Fit For 2011 Ford Escape Without Tow Package
  • Do you know if your Escape has the tow package? If not, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118551 is the correct part. It installs behind the tail light per the included video but there should not be a 10 pin connector as part of the install. I'm thinking that the connector you found isn't for the the trailer wiring but for a different vehicle feature. The Tow Package Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connectors # 118251 will fit to the 4-Way connector...

  • Minimum Trailer Frame Width the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 can Fit
  • The minimum width trailer frame the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 is designed to fit is 2 inches. The only way you would be able to install this on a 1-1/2 inch wide trailer frame would be to use a 1/2 inch spacer between the brackets that mount on the outside of the trailer frame and the frame itself.

  • Fit of Draw-Tite Class III Hitch # 75758 on 2014 Ford Escape S Model
  • The Draw-Tite # 75758 Class III hitch is a fit for all models of the 2014 Draw-Tite, according to my contact at Draw-Tite.

  • Will Yakima Spare Tire Carrier for Roof Baskets Fit a Curt Basket on a 2008 Ford Escape
  • The Yakima spare tire carrier # Y07076 will fit a Curt cargo basket # C18115 but it holds the tire in the confines of the basket. So if the basket you have is not wide or long enough for the spare tire on your 2008 Ford Escape then you would need either a different basket or the extension for the Curt basket, # C18117. If your Escape has the standard 235/70-16 tires then those are roughly 29 inches in diameter so there should not be a problem fitting in the Curt 41.5 x 37 inch basket.

  • Recommended Malone Crossbars For a 2018 Ford Escape
  • Although the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 will fit your 2018 Ford Escape technically, the manufacturer has since updated their fit to state that these bars are not a good fit for your vehicle. Instead, they recommend going with the: -Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # MPG216 (58" bars) or # MPG217 (65" bars). These are the same bars as # MPG215, boasting the same weight capacity but are a bit longer. I have also attached an installation video...

  • Replacement Landing Gear Set For A 2002 Thor Citation 32 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Since Atwood is no longer in business you're looking at a total replacement of the landing set unless you can find a replacement follow leg secondhand. You'll want to measure the weld stop locations on your current landing gear set to see if there's a matching fit so that you don't have to cut off the mounting brackets and weld on new ones. The Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # BD500162 you were looking at has common weld stop measurements (pictured below) so it would likely be a fit.

  • Does Thule Motion XT Cargo Box Fit 2016 Ford Escape with Factory Crossbars
  • Yes it will! I checked with Thule and they list the Thule Motion XT part # TH629706 as a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2016 Ford Escape. I really like this cargo box as it's easy to install, can open on either side and can fit quite a bit of cargo space as it has a capacity of 16 cubic feet.

  • What Wheels do Snow Chains Belong on for a 2012 Ford Escape
  • The first thing you need to do is consult the owners manual of your 2012 Ford Escape to see if there are any restrictions on snow chains. You may find that they recommend chains on either the front, back or both axles and there could also be clearance restrictions as well. For all wheel drive vehicles we recommend that the primary drive wheels get the chains if only one set is to be used. Two sets would be the best possible setup if your owners manual allows it but I found an owners manual...

  • Transmission Cooler Fit For A 2016 Ford Escape Titanium
  • The # D12901 is a fit for all engine options on the 2016 Ford Escape Titanium. For your Escape this measures 13" wide x 5" tall x 3/4" deep so you may want to check under the hood to make sure you have the room needed for this cooler. Also note the Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation. Included is a video resource, instructions,...

  • How to Mount 4-Way Trailer Connector on Back of Ford Escape
  • The Tow Ready Mounting Bracket # 18144 works great with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75782. I've linked videos of both products being installed for you. You'll also need a 4-way trailer connector installed on your Escape. The # 118566 harness installs by plugging in behind both tail lights and then connecting to the positive side of your battery. Everything for the install is included. You'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached a link of our selection of...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2013 Ford Escape
  • The most popular option is Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75758 which is a Class III hitch. I always recommend a Class III, 2 inch hitch when available because there are many more accessory options, fewer restrictions on what you can carry, and of course the higher capacity (limited by the tow vehicle capacity or hitch capacity, whichever is lower). I have linked a video showing a typical installation for you. If you plan on doing some towing I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....

  • We do have a trailer hitch receiver that is a fit for your 2017 Ford Escape, though the hitch you mentioned is not a fit for that vehicle.

This hitch will fit your Escape and will be a bolt-on installation, and even work with the Hands-Free Liftgate feature if you have that (you will simply need to kick your foot to either side of the receiver).

  • Recommended 2 Bike Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Ford Escape 2015
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Thule Passage 2, # TH9010XT, is not a fit for your 2015 Ford Escape. Instead check out the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack, # Y02638. This rack is a trunk mounted bike rack that installs with hooks and straps to the hatch lid of your vehicle. You will want to place the upper strap hooks at the top edge of trunk, hatch lid, or rear door. Check out the review video for this rack that I attached also. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed...
