For a 2017 Chevy Spark like what you have that is front wheel drive you'd put the front wheels up on the tow dolly like the # RM-2000-1 and let the rear wheels travel on the ground. view full answer...
I don't recommend connecting the power wire of the # C56320 to anywhere but the vehicle battery. Using the 12 volt outlet in the cargo area of your 2018 Ford Escape may not work properly. The converter needs to receive power from an isolated 12 volt circut and you really don't know if that circuit is isolated or not. There could very well be other components running off the same circuit.
If it's not an isolated circuit you could be blowing fuses over and over again.

The Class III hitch part # C23FR that fits your 2020 Ford Escape does not require fascia trimming to install, so it would not violate your lease agreement. view full answer...
For a hitch for a 2007 Ford Escape you would want # 13650 as it has been confirmed as a fit. This hitch only fits 2005 - 2012 Ford Escapes though so the hitch you have now would not fit since it came off of a 2003 which is different.

From what it sounds like, the connector on the trailer is wired a bit differently from what is typical. To adapt your 4-pole connector to a 7-way, I would recommend part # 37185. Hopefully, the running lights, turn signals and brake lights on the trailer connector are correctly wired. If they are, this adapter should work great for you.
Once the adapter is connected to your existing 4-pole, you can test the basic lighting to ensure that everything is working correctly.

The purple/white brake light switch wire is going to be located under inside the dash above the brake pedal. This will require you to remove portions of the dash to gain access and install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400.

You won't need to do any modifications to the bumper on your 2019 Ford Escape but you are going to be required to do some trimming of the heat shield that protects some electrical components from the exhaust heat coming from the muffler and exhaust pipe.
I've attached the installation video of this hitch, which does show you how to complete this task. You'll want to fast forward to around the 2:45 mark of the video to see where it talks about the trimming of the heat shield. view full answer...
Motor and Switch Kit for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear - 5,500 lbs # LG-217884 only will use one switch. If you were to use two motors, then dual switches would be used. I've attached a diagram to assist. The input wires from the battery can be combined for the power wire and also separately combined on the ground wire. I've attached a couple diagrams to assist. view full answer...
The Safety Cables contained within the RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit, # RM-9243-1, are okay to install the way you have. While most folks wrap the excess around the legs of the the tow bar, there is no reason that you can not do so around the shank as well. The point to remember is that you leave enough slack at the end so as to not cause a binding situation, plenty of free movement. And that you do not create a pinch point situation that will damage the cables. view full answer...
Since your vehicle did not come from the factory with a hitch installed, there is no factory installed trailer wiring. You will need to hardwire a trailer connector using part # 119178KIT. Simply access the tail light assemblies from the rear, and use the included circuit tester to identify which circuit controls which function, then make your connections as necessary. Start by activating the left turn signal. Use the circuit tester to probe the wires exiting the taillight assembly on the... view full answer...
To locate your stoplight switch, follow your brake pedal up under the dash and the switch is mounted toward the top of the pedal assembly. This switch will have several wires exiting it and they will all need to be tested.
To test the wires, use a circuit tester such as part # PTW2993 and probe each wire until you locate the wire that goes hot only when the brake pedal is pushed. Once that is found, tap the red controller wire into it.
Because wire colors can vary, we recommend wiring... view full answer...
When a 4-pole wiring harness includes a powered converter this feature serves to protect the vehicle's internal wiring from the risk of overload from the additional power demands from the trailer lights.
Late model vehicles often use high-efficiency LED-type lighting, which needs only very light-gauge wiring. This wiring is not always able to handle the extra current drawn by the trailer lights and so the appropriate 4-pole harness will have a converter that draws the actual power for... view full answer...
While not impossible, incidents of the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 falling out of the vehicle 7-way is very rare. The connection between the controller and 7-way is very secure. You have to give it a solid push to make sure it's flush in the connector when installing.
Once installed the tab on top of the Echo is silicone-coated to absorb vibration. This tab sticks up at the end so when you place it in your 7-way, the tab on the connector is in front of the... view full answer...
For your 2003 Ford Escape without the factory towing package, you will not have to do any upgrading of your vehicle's lights to install and use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118343.
This harness will work perfectly as is without any type of modification to your Escape's lighting. The only thing I recommend adding is mounting brackets, the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket # 18140 with Mounting Bracket # 18144.
These will allow you to... view full answer...
When installing a trailer wiring harness like part # C56320 on your 2017 Escape, the Black power wire needs to be run to the positive battery post. A lot of folks want to use a circuit near the back of the vehicle instead of running the wire all the way to the battery.
We recommend installing it as per the installation instructions. If you connect to a different circuit, you would not be aware if a fuse blew or if something happened to the circuit, which would mean you have no lights... view full answer...

Lets start by making sure you are looking at the right connector. The connector is located between the rear bumper and the rear of the drivers side frame member, as you can see in the photo I have provided. The connector has a protective cover, which is actually pinned to the vehicle as shown in the photo.
The connector will only be active if your Escape is equipped with the factory tow prep package.
If you are unsure if your Escape has the prep package, you can call your Ford dealer,... view full answer...
The tow bar lighting kit part # RM-15267 that you have now does not have the charge line but does mean the # RM-156-25 would install easily since you'd just need to run the wire to the 6-way on your vehicle and then to the vehicle battery. view full answer...
