• Does Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid Increase Towing Capacity
• You always need to go by the lowest-rated capacity for towing, be it the hitch or the vehicle rating, so a hitch rated for 3,500 lbs does not increase the towing capacity of your 2022 Ford Escape hybrid with a maximum capacity of 1,500 lbs, it will remain at 1,500 lbs. Manufacturers often overbuild hitches for strength and durability, though that is just the hitch capacity, and does not reflect the capacity of the vehicle it fits. So you can tow with your '22 Escape hybrid, but no more...

• 2013 Ford Escape SEl Trailer Hitch Compatibility with Lift Gate Sensors
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III # C13186 is the correct fit for your 2013 Ford Escape and my recommendation over the Class II- 1-1/4 inch # C12111. They utilize the same mounting, but the Class III is much stronger and will allow more accessory options in bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts. With either option the Hands-Free Liftgate sensor areas will be limited to either side of vehicle near exhaust pipes. If you want a stronger hitch, with the Hands Free sensors...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
• The Curt # C23FR has been confirmed as a fit on the Hybrid models of the 2020 Escape. If you're going to be towing with your Escape you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For a wiring harness, the Tekonsha # TE54FR is the only wiring harness we have confirmed for your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, but will do a good job. We've generally found that these Tekonsha harnesses are the most reliable wiring we offer and the powered converter really holds up well over time. This...

• Will an Oil Cooler Kit Fit a 2013 Toyota Highlander with the 3.5L V6 Engine
• Your 2013 Toyota Highlander with the 3.5L v6 engine uses a cartridge style oil filter which means the Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit part # D15405 will not work for you. With that being said, it is unlikely that you would need an oil cooler if you are within the towing capacity. In most newer vehicles, installing an engine oil cooler can have a negative impact as they actually cause a decrease in oil pressure. The decreased oil pressure is not drastic but does have more of an affect...

• Can a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4WD be Flat Towed?
• Your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4WD can be flat towed if you have the 2 speed transfer case. This differs from the single speed power transfer unit because it has a neutral position. The neutral (N) selection button is adjacent to the 4WD selector switch. If you have this neutral position you are good to flat tow, if you do not then recreational towing is not allowed. You can find this information on page 596 of the online owners manual. If you have the neutral option on your power...

• Least Visible Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2018 Ford Escape
• Out of the hitches that fit your 2018 Ford Escape the one that shows the least is the Draw-Tite, part # 75782, although not by a lot. It's designed so that the cross tube is tucked behind the bumper and then the receiver opening is all you see. The opening then sits about 1-3/4 inches recessed from the rear bumper. The other Draw-Tite hitch, part # 75758, shows the complete cross tube so it's the most visible. However, the Curt, part # C13186, also hides the cross tube but the receiver...

• Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ford Escape with 14 inch of Ground Clearance for Ball Mount
• Going with a ball mount that has a different amount of rise/drop is typically the easiest way to compensate for a hitch height and coupler height that does match up well. Like if you installed the etrailer hitch part # e98866 which has a distance of 14-1/4 from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground you could use a ball mount like the # DT49MR which can do a drop of 2 inches or a rise of 3/4 inch.

• Will Universal Installation Kit ETBC7 Work with 2014 Ford Escape with Tow Package
• Yes, part # ETBC7 will work with your Ford Escape. If your vehicle does not have a 4-Way trailer connector you will first want to use Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Harness, # 118566. With a 4-Way installed, you would then add the 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. This kit provides a 7-Way and 4-Way at the rear of the vehicle along with the wiring and circuit breakers needed to install a brake controller. I have included links to 2 FAQ articles on installing a brake controller from scratch,...

• Is Older Tekonsha 2030 Mark 12 Brake Controller Compatible with 2014 Ford Escape
• I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and he said your Tekonsha 2030 Mark 12 will work with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7, since the wiring is the same as the current models. The functions for each wire are as follows: black wire carries 12V power from the vehicle to the brake controller (via a circuit breaker); red wire carries brake light signal to the brake controller; white wire is ground; blue wire carries the controller output signal for the...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack to Carry Electra Townie Womens Bike on a 2001 Ford Escape
• Both the Hollywood Racks Expedition, part # HRF6-2, and the Saris Solo, part # SA102, are confirmed to fit your 2001 Ford Escape. Even though both racks fit I believe there's a better option. For almost every vehicle with a rear hatch the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top, part # HRF2, is the best fit. It's specifically designed for hatchbacks. You'll need an adapter bar for an Electra Townie on any hanging bike rack. I recommend the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005.
