According to the owners manual for the 2013 Ford Escape, the maximum weight capacity of a roof rack for models without the moon roof is 100 lbs and 45 lbs for models with a moon roof. As you stated, the Yakima RailGrab roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 lbs, however, the weight capacity will be limited to the 100 lb weight capacity of the factory side rails on the Escape. I would not recommend carrying both kayaks together with your Ford Escape because it could potentially damage the... view full answer...
You'll want to confirm the fully-loaded weight of the trailer you wish to tow and compare that to both the vehicle's rating as noted in the owner's manual and to the rating of the hitch that is on it, or the one you intend to install. Many vehicles, including your 2008 Ford Escape (I drive an 08 Escape too!) can vary in their towing capacity depending on the specific equipment.
If a car and the hitch you put on it have different towing capacities then the lower of the two always becomes... view full answer...
Unless otherwise stated, all trailer tires (including the Kenda Tire and Wheel # AM30710) that you referenced are only rated to go 65 miles per hour. Exceeding this figure will cause heat build up and premature failure.
I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out as well. view full answer...
On the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G the overall width side to side is 65 inches because the crossbars are the widest part of it. The trailer itself is about 55 inches wide if the bars were taking off. The overall length without an extension is 14 feet but that can be adjusted to be shorter using the retractable tongue kit you mentioned # MPG494. The overall height to the top of a crossbar is 30-1/2 inches.
The tongue by itself is 8 feet long. The use of the retractable kit reduces... view full answer...

You will definitely want to go with a class III 2" hitch since you are planning on getting a 4-bike bike rack. You will need all of the capacity you can get. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98866. This hitch is custom fit for your 2019 Ford Escape and bolts to it with included hardware.
The etrailer hitch item # e98866 has a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. Tongue weight is the weight of the bike rack and bikes combined. If you went with a class II 1-1/4" hitch the most you would... view full answer...

The Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K is going to measure about 4-1/4" from the back to the front of the hub bore (see attached photo). This is a standard depth for this size hub so I'd be surprised if our hub doesn't fit your application.
Attached is an installation video of this hub for you to check out! view full answer...

I went out to the warehouse and pulled Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 1-1/4" Drawbars # RP26005 and took some measurements for you (see image). The hole for the hitch ball shank is 3/8 inch and the distance between the two tabs is 2-1/4 inches. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75751 is Class III hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. It has a maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 4,500 lbs and maximum tongue weight (TW) rating of 675 lbs. While using a weight distribution system with this hitch, your GTW increase from 4,500 lbs to 5,250 lbs but the tongue weight capacity remains the same.
The above figures are accurate and taken directly from Draw-Tite. However, although the hitch is rated at 4,500... view full answer...
Once installed on the 2012 Ford Escape the Curt front mount receiver # C31025 will be fairly low. Take a look at the pictures I have included. The top of the receiver will be approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches below the bottom of the front fascia and then it is another 2-1/2 inches down to the bottom of the receiver. So basically if you measure from the ground up to the bottom of the front fascia and then subtract 4 to 4-1/2 inches that is approximately where the bottom of the receiver will be. view full answer...
From what I am able to find, it appears that the 2015 Ford Escape 2.0 Ecoboost engine has a towing capacity of 3500-lbs; so you'll be able to tow any boat and trailer combo under that total weight. We always recommend confirming that with your owners manual, but you can also check with your local Ford dealer for confirmation of what your vehicle is capable of.
Since you need a hitch in order to tow a boat with your vehicle, I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 75782 since it is the only... view full answer...
For your 2017 Ford Escape we offer several 2-inch Class III hitches that are shown on the linked page. As long as your Escape doesn't have the factory Class II towing package you can install Draw-Tite hitch # 75758 and 4-pole wiring harness # C56320.
If your trailer has electric brakes you will also need a brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 along with installation kit # ETBC7. These two items added to the 4-pole kit above will give you a fully-functioning 7-way connector with... view full answer...
The length of the drivers side WeatherTech All-Weather floor mat, # WTW283, at the foot rest is 18-1/2 inches. The length of the mat at the gas pedal is approximately 17-1/4 inches.

Assuming that your Escape uses a stock wheel/tire, the top of the receiver for the Curt # 13650 would be 16 inches above the ground.
Getting the trailer to tow so that it is level is not an exact science. If you can get it within 1-1/2 to 2 inches of level, you are doing just fine. It is better to have the coupler height a bit higher than level than lower.
In addition to the hitch, wiring harness and ball mount, you might also need the following:
Pin and clip, part # PC3

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31025 that you referenced for your 2012 Ford Escape does have a gross trailer towing capacity weight of 3,500 pounds, a tongue weight/vertical load capacity of 350 pounds, and a line pull rating of 9,000 pounds. I spoke with my contact at Curt and confirmed this information for you.
This means that the hitch can withstand up to 9,000 pounds of straight line pull when using a winch, but when towing a trailer the capacity is 3,500 pounds. While the... view full answer...
