  • I recommend pairing the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77GR for your 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid. The best part about this tow bar are the LED lights. It might seem kind of weird, but those lights help others see that there is a connection between your motorhome and the towed vehicle so it doesn't look like someone it tailgating you while you're heading down the road. For a complete flat towing...

  • 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid AWD Trailer Hitch
  • We don't offer a 1-1/4 inch receiver for your Escape, but we do have a Class III hitch with the 2 inch receiver from Draw-Tite, part # DR47FR. The hitch is compatible with all models of the 2020 Ford Escape, so it'll fit your Titanium Hybrid perfectly.

  • Recommended Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness for 2018 Ford Escape SE
  • I have a solution for you, but the Curt # 13368 is not the hitch you're looking for since it's designed to fit on the Ford F-150. Instead you're looking for the Curt # C13186 which is a confirmed fit on the 2018 Ford Escape SE and will provide you with a 2" receiver. The Curt hitches have a much more durable powder coating than the other hitches on the market, so it's built to withstand the rigors of the road much better and will help keep rust and corrosion away.
