We carry trunk style bike racks, hitches, and hitch mounted bike racks that will fit the 2015 Ford Escape. I am sure we can find a solution to your problem.
I could not find in the 2015 Ford Escape owner's manual where it states that you cannot use a trunk mounted bike rack. Now, one of the installation tips on our site does say that interference and/or damage may occur if equipped with automatic rear wipers. But with that said, I do not see why your bike rack will not work on your Escape.

To carry y our son's mountain bike on your 2015 Chevrolet Trax there are a few racks that come to mind. The Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a great option with its anti-sway cages and Hold Fast cradles. It also uses Thule's FitDial system to make it easier to install.
Another option is the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634. This rack only uses 4 straps to connect to your Trax which can be easier to install. It also has anti-sway cradles and secures the bike using ZipStrip straps that make loading... view full answer...
As the Draw-Tite # DT32GR is the only hitch currently available for your 2022 Chevy Trax, it is definitely pretty straight forward. The wiring is slightly more difficult, but I do mean slightly and you will know which one is correct shortly after reading this. So not to keep you waiting, but let the anticipation rise a little bit.
And now for the big reveal. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118751 is for the LT and Premier models and the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness... view full answer...
According to the owner's manual for your 2017 Chevrolet Trax, you do not need to pull any fuses while dolly towing the vehicle. For front wheel drive models (FWD), the dolly towing procedure is listed as follows:
1. Put the front wheels on a dolly.
2. Move the shift lever to P (Park).
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Clamp the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a clamping device designed for towing.
5. Turn the vehicle off.
6. Secure the vehicle to the dolly.

The hitch I'd recommend most if you're looking to haul a heavy duty e-bike carrier on your 2016 Chevrolet Trax is the Curt # C11527 because of it's sturdy 200 lb. tongue weight capacity.
The Yakima OnRamp Two Bike Rack # Y96FR will work well with both your e-bikes as well as this Draw-Tite hitch. You'll be able to easily load those heavier bikes with the included ramp which can be stored when not in use, it has a tilting feature to allow you to access the rear of the Trax even when the... view full answer...
The Curt trailer wiring harness part # C59236 is a universal install trailer wiring kit which means it does not come with specific wiring instructions for your vehicle but it does come with instructions that are still helpful. Basically you'll need to test the wires that run to your vehicle taillights to determine their function and then wire them to the harness according to the instructions. view full answer...
The information we get for vehicle towing capacity is done with research of the vehicle and the owner's manuals. For yoru 2016 Trax on page 229 of the owner's manual it states the vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer. With that being said, many folks will tow with the vehicle anyway so we do have items like trailer hitches and wiring available. Trailer hitches can be installed so you can use them for items like cargo baskets, bike racks.

Sounds like you have the factory raised side rails on your 2016 Chevy Trax. If so, you would want the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 to allow you to carry the Thule Sidekick part # TH78GC. Raised roof rails are ones that you could slide your hand underneath.
If instead you had flush rails that you couldn't slide your hand underneath (not as likely), then you would want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX040 to complete the... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C11427 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevy Trax and would be a great hitch to use. This hitch has a 2,000 lb total trailer weight rating but you would need to consult the owner's manual to determine the capacity of your vehicle as it is equipped.
I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground... view full answer...
For your 2016 Chevy Trax the trailer wiring harness you'd want is the Tekonsha kit part # 118659 which is custom fit and doesn't require splicing into the taillight wiring. view full answer...
The Curt T-Connector part # C55774 that you referenced would be the first component you'd want. This will give you a 7-way and 4-way active at the rear of your truck. This will allow you to run a 4-way extension from the truck to the second trailer to activate the turn signals.
For an extension you could use the part # A40W42B which is a 40 foot section of 4-way wiring that includes a male 4-way and then to the other end you could attach the part # HM48030 and you'd be set. view full answer...
None of the trailer hitches we have available include a wiring harness but one can certainly be added for your 2018 Chevy Trax.
Starting with the hitch I recommend the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527. This is the only hitch available for your vehicle at this time. It is a class I, 1-1/4" hitch and will require you to use an additional stabilizing strap # 18050 for any non-trailer load like a bike rack or cargo carrier.

We have to recommend you stick with the recommendations from the dealer for your 2018 Chevy Trax to be as safe as possible. And because they are the ones who designed the vehicle and would have to honor the vehicle warranty.
We've found that our manufacturers will make hitches for vehicles as long as there's a demand for them which is why Draw Tite has the part # DT32GR as a confirmed fit for your vehicle. Some people may use the hitch for carrying a bike rack or they may ignore the towing... view full answer...
First of all, good choice on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527. It's a confirmed fit
With the Curt installed on a 2015 Chevrolet Trax you will want room to clear the fascia. This is why of the three you mention I would pick the Curt # C18110. It has 3-3/4 inches of rise which you mentioned you like and there is 6-3/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the beginning of the rise in the shank. And if you see how the hitch fits in the attached video your fascia curves upwards as... view full answer...
For your 2019 Chevy Trax the Curt hitch part # C11527 is the best option and only hitch that we have. It is a class I hitch with a tongue weight of 200 pounds and can carry up to 2 bikes. It also requires a stabilizer strap # 18050 when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well.
My favorite 2 bike rack is the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F because it's a platform bike rack which means it's easy to load/unload,... view full answer...
The Rhino Rack crossbar kit part # JA7976 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Chevy Trax as Rhino Rack has test fit on your vehicle and determined that it is a perfect fit.
The crossbar dimensions are a bit confusing because the 28-1/2 inch dimension that you mentioned is the length of the crossbar section in the middle of the assemblies. The foot section of the bars is pretty wide and that's why that dimension seems off.
I attached a picture that shows where this dimension... view full answer...
Exhaust lower is a pretty standard practice for installing a trailer hitch. For your 2016 Chevy Trax the only hitch option that we carry are ones that require that.
The Curt # C11527 is a fairly standard install. It estimates 30- 60 minutes to complete. Check out the install video I attached for more info.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Roadway 2 part # TH9058. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If I were you I would install the Curt Hitch part # C11527 on your 2016 Chevy Trax as it is the fairly recessed under the bumper which means it would be the somewhat concealed. You can see this in the install video attached.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 that you referenced will indeed fit and work great on your 2016 Chevy Trax that has the naked roof. You will just need to add # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs and # DK464 for the Custom Fit Kit and you will be all set!
I have attached a video demonstration of this roof rack for you to check out. view full answer...
By XL cargo bag I believe you are talking about Rightline bag # RL100S30. This bag will fit on vehicles with or without a roof rack (side rails or crossbars). The bag is 48 inches long and 40 inches wide so compare that to the available space on your 2015 Chevy Trax. You don't want the bag hanging over the sides of the vehicle roof!
If the roof rack on your Trax is just the side rails and there is no gap beneath them to attach a strap then I recommend adding the car clips # RL100600 to... view full answer...
