  • Is Lowering Exhaust to Install Hitch on 2018 Ford EcoSport Difficult
  • Lowering the exhaust to install a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 36660 on a 2018 Ford EcoSport is not difficult at all. It's actually almost a standard step for hitch installs it's required so frequently. It's typically just a matter of needing a pry tool like # ALL648544 and some spray lube to get the hangers off. You just need to pry the rubber isolators off of the hangers and you're set.

  • How To Diagnose 4-Way Trailer Wiring That Only Has Running Lights On 2020 Ford Ecosport
  • If you do not already have one, it would be a good idea to get a 4-pole tester such as the Curt LED 4-Way Flat Connector (Vehicle End) Tester # I26. Using this tester, you can verify if the vehicle wiring is working properly. If the 4-pole tester verifies that you are having issues at the vehicle end, not trailer end, then make sure all of the connections are good on the vehicle's trailer wiring kit using a circuit tester like the Circuit Tester Kit # PTW2993. Verify the ground wire...

  • Installing the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness on a 2018 Ford EcoSport
  • It's a little odd that the wiring for the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT isn't long enough for your 2018 Ford EcoSport. I think the issue that you are running into is that you are probably trying to mount the converter in the middle of your vehicle when it would be more beneficial to install the converter on either side of your EcoSport as the Yellow and Green wires for the turn functions have 95" - 97" leads so they can easily reach to the other side of your vehicle....

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2020 Ford EcoSport
  • For your 2020 Ford EcoSport the hitch you'd want is the Draw Tite part # 36660 which has solid towing capacities and is mostly hidden. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C59496 which I attached an install video for on a similar EcoSport. Then for a ball mount you'd want the part # 36071 and hitch ball # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2018 Ford EcoSport
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36660 will fit your 2018 Ford EcoSport SE no matter what size engine you have so you are good to go on that end of things (plus the EcoSport in the video is an SE). The hitch comes will all of the hardware to get it mounted as well. Please note that even though this trailer hitch has a max trailer weight rating of 3,500 lbs, Ford has determined that the max towing capacity for your EcoSport is 2,000 lbs so that is your limiting factor.

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack for 2019 Ford EcoSport Titanium with Rear Sensors
  • Based on my research the four rear sensors on your 2019 Ford EcoSport are located along the bumper beneath the hatch. With this in mind your best bet to try and avoid too much interference will be with a hanging-style rack that features a center vertical mast. The rack itself won't block the sensors at all, as they are spaced apart so that the center mast would extend upward between them. A platform-style rack on the other hand may block the sensors by itself. The potential sensor interference...

  • Does The Fogatti Tankless Rv Water Heater Come With An Access Door Conversion Kit
  • There is not a larger access door or conversion kit available for the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR so I recommend switching to the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR68SR. This unit has an 18" x 18" door to help cover up the gap left from your old Suburban. To be completely honest, I deal with quite a bit of troubleshooting with the Fogatti water heaters to where I personally wouldn't recommend them. A good point of reference is to check out the Q&A pages under each product...

  • Hitch-Mount Trike Carrier for 1-1/4-Inch Class II Hitch
  • I understand your predicament, having a hitch and hitch bike rack that will not work together. Smaller vehicles typically accept smaller hitches, and for your 2018 Ford EcoSport compact SUV only 1-1/4-inch Class II hitches are offered since the car itself cannot handle the load that a 2-inch Class III hitch typically can. We offer 1-1/4-inch Draw-Tite # 36660 and Curt # C12188 hitches both of which are rated for 350-lbs of tongue weight. Hitch adapters like # HTAD, # HT5R, and # C45785...

  • Recommended Crossbars for 2019 Ford EcoSport with Factory Side Rails
  • For your 2019 Ford EcoSport with factory flush rails, we don't have a confirmed fit from any of our manufacturers as of 6/2020. If you have raised side rails, I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 50" Long # MPG215. This is a great universal crossbar option for raised side rails.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Availability for a 2018 Ford EcoSport
  • They do not make a class III trailer hitch receiver for your 2018 Ford EcoSport. Instead, you will need to choose from either the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36660 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12188 which both have a class II rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. I prefer the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver as it is more cost effective and will not require the use of a support strap like part # 18050 for non-towing accessories. If you can tell me what you...

  • That is a good question and as is the case with many vehicles, the trailer hitches that fit the 2020 Ford EcoSport are similar to the point where there is little differentiating them. Both the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36660 and Curt Trailer Hitch # C12188 are a fit for your '20 EcoSport and have the same 3,500 lb towing capacity, 350 lb tongue weight capacity and even install the same way.
