  • Thule Easy Fold XT 2 E Bike Rack Compatibility with 2020 Giant Stance E+ Pro With 29 Inch Wheels
  • The Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202 does not have a wheel size limit. It is rated for up to a 48 inch wheelbase. I looked up the information on your 2020 Giant Stance E+ Pro 29 and there are multiple sizes. If you have the S, M, or L it will fit because the wheelbase is under 48 inches. If you have the XL size for riders 6 foot 2 inches to 6 foot 6 inches tall, the wheelbase is 48.7 inches on that model so it will not fit. The...

  • Does Curt Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid Allow Hands Free Lift Gate to Function
  • With the Curt hitch part # C23FR installed on your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid you'd have limited access to the hands free liftgate function. You'd still be able to kick your foot to either side of the hitch tube but for the best result relocating the sensors is the best way.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for a 2017 Ford Escape with 235/55-17 Tires
  • According to the owner's manual for your 2017 Ford Escape, tire chains can be installed on the front axle as long as the chains have a link thickness less than 10 mm. For a premium option, I recommend taking a look at the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains part # TH2004205104. The Konig tire chains will work well in both snow and ice. The diamond shaped pattern will provide better traction and a smoother ride in comparison to a ladder bar type tire chain. The self-tensioning...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid with Moon Roof
  • Thanks for reaching out about this! While vehicle and roof rack manufacturers usually state to avoid opening a sun or moon roof with a roof rack installed, we have found that the vast majority will fit just fine with enough clearance - you just need to be mindful of how much clearance you'll have after the roof rack is installed on your 2022 Ford Escape and probably avoid opening the roof when you have accessories installed. For your application you need a roof rack that installs using...

  • Is Drilling Required To Install etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver e89YR On 2020 Ford Escape?
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR you were looking at for your 2020 Ford Escape will not require any drilling any new holes for it to be installed. However, you may need to use a drill, file, or rotory tool to enlarge the existing hole. You will need to open up the access hole on each side of the frame to fit the 1/2" carriage bolts through, and will need to trim the heat shield. If you are planning on towing with your vehicle you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # TE54FR. I...

  • Will Rear View Safety Backup Camera System for 2011 Ford Escape Work with Compass and Temp Gauge
  • The Rear View Safety Backup Camera System part # RVS-778718N will fit a 2011 Ford Escape and work great on this. That said, you'll lose the features you listed as these are not built into the mirror and we don't have an option with them. However, you will gain a nice color picture for use when reversing so you can see what's behind. In my opinion, the backup camera is far more valuable than the compass and temp gauge but I also under if you want to keep this. In which case, you'd need to...

  • Which Wiring Harness Fits a 2003 Ford Escape without Towing Package
  • The Plug-N-Tow Wiring harness, part 30445 will only work on a Ford Escape equipped with a tow package. For the Escape without the tow package, the T-1 Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118343 would be the correct fit. The T-1 Harness would install inline using the existing connections between the factory wiring harness and the taillight assemblies. We have a video of this part being installed on a 2003 Escape that I have linked below.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Ford Escape Compatible With a Weight Distribution Hitch
  • Currently the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR47FR is the only aftermarket receiver we offer for your 2020 Ford Escape that is rated for a weight distribution hitch. It will have the lower receiver height as it is intended to also fit vehicles that do not come with a factory tow package and the supporting rear fascia. I do recommend contacting your Ford dealer to ensure your Escape will be able to support the amount of weight you are looking to tow.
