Expert Answers about Ford Escape


  • Do I Need a Base Plate Kit on My 2002 Ford Escape for it To Be Towed Behind a Tow Vehicle
  • Yes, if you wanted to tow a 2002 Ford Escape with a Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar, 5,000 lbs, part # 63180, you would need a base plate like the Roadmaster Base Plates for the 2002 Escape by Ford, part # 481-3. In order you to attach the # 63180 to the # 481-3 you would need to purchase a Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Tow Bar Adapter, part # RM-025. You may also be interested in a Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, part # RM-201, to make removal and installation a little easier....

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for 2020 Ford Escape to Use with Falcon Tow Bar
  • For a Roadmaster base plate to use with your Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-522 the Roadmaster # RM39FR would work great. This is a direct connect kit which means you wouldn't have to use a crossbar. For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar we have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain kit part # RM-9243-1 which comes with all of that as one part number. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights...

  • Best 7-Way and 4-Way Setup for 2015 Ford Escape
  • The best trailer wiring setup for what you need for your 2015 Ford Escape is to start with a 4-way part # 118566 and then use the # 37185 to convert it to a 7-way. This adapter also has a 4-way built into it as well so you get both styles you are wanting.

  • How To Convert 4-Way On 2014 Ford Escape To 7-Way With 4-Way
  • In order to convert the 4-way on a 2014 Ford Escape to a 7-way with 4-way I recommend using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 because it comes with the 10 gauge wire and 30/40 amp circuit breakers needed to charge the trailer battery or power other accessories. It also comes with a mounting bracket. The two 4-ways can be plugged into on anther or you can cut them both off and hardwire them.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Ford Escape
  • The Yakima Fullback 3 part # Y02633 is a great trunk rack confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Ford Escape. The easiest way to show how this trunk rack will install is to have you check out the install video I attached that shows the rack being installed on a 2016 Ford Escape very similar to yours. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2013 Ford Escape
  • For your 2013 Ford Escape, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75758. This is an easy install and will give you a versatile hitch compatible with the vast majority of bike racks. This installation will take a professional shop about 20-30 minutes and anyone slightly mechanical to install in about 40 minutes if you choose to install yourself. This is a durable hitch that will restrict your hands free liftgate if installed to the...

  • Snow Chains or Cables Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Escape AWD with 235/70-16 Tires
  • The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, # PW2029C, would be a good choice for occaisional use when conditions require the use of snow chains, as long as your Escape has the original tire size 235/70-16 on it. Along with these chains it would be a good idea to use the Glacier Rubber Adjusters, # PW100, to keep the chains tight on the tires. If you think you will be using the chains a bit more than you indicated, or the conditions might require a better bite than cable chains, I recommend the...

  • Trailer Hitch and 2-Bike Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Escape
  • Since you will only be using the trailer hitch to carry 2 bikes I recommend going with a Class II trailer hitch # 36529. I have linked a video showing installation of this trailer hitch for you. For a bike carrier we have numerous options that are compatible with the Class II hitch. The most popular carrier option for owners of the 2014 Ford Escape is the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670. this is a platform style bike carrier that holds 2 bikes by the wheels and center of the frame. I have linked...

  • Recommended Electric Brake Controller for 2017 Ford Escape
  • I suggest the Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your 2017 Ford Escape. The P3 is one of the best controllers on the market because of its reliability and easy to use display. It isn't listed as a fit for your Escape because there isn't a custom harness for a brake controller for your vehicle. To install the P3 you'll also need our # ETBC7 kit. This will provide your Escape with a 7-way trailer connector, as well as everything you need to install the P3. I've linked a video showing the P3 and...

  • Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2006 Ford Escape
  • We do have a tail light wiring harness for your 2006 Ford Escape with a higher amp rating than the T-One harness you previously used. I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Harness, # C56345, which installs the same way as your T-One harness. For the brake light/turn signals, this harness is rated at 3 amps per circuit versus 2.1 amps for the T-One harness and for the tail lights it is rated at 6 amps verses 4.2 amps for the T-One harness.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier and Hitch that Wont Interfere with Liftgate Sensors of 2014 Ford Escape
  • We have several hitches compatible with your 2014 Escape Titanium. There are Class III hitches with the 2 inch receiver opening, the Draw-Tite # 75758. This hitch will block the hands-free liftgate sensors somewhat, they will only be functional in the areas around the exhaust pipes as shown in the diagram I provided. If you decide to go with a 2 inch hitch, I'd recommend the Curt # C18151 folding cargo carrier. The carrier basket measures 24x60, and the basket can fold up against the rear...

  • Brake Controller for 2014 Ford Escape Ecoboost 2.0L Towing Aliner Pop-Up Camper
  • A small camper that's equipped with electric brakes would have a 7-way trailer connector, and in order to actuate the trailer brakes, you will need a brake controller installed. This may seem like a daunting process, but if you take it step by step, it's really not too bad. The first thing you'll need to do is install a 4 pole trailer wiring harness on the Escape. This will plug inline with the factory wiring harness, to provide power and signal to the taillights on the camper. I'd recommend...

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch that Fits 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid Titanium
  • The 2 inch Curt hitch part # C23FR is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid and will allow your hands free liftgate to function if you kick to either side of the hitch opening. I attached a picture of it installed on a similar Titanium as yours for you to check out as well. I wasn't sure if you had a 4-way or not, but if you didn't the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR is the easiest to install and also very reliable as well.

  • Which Supplemental Braking System for 2020 Ford Escape Towed by Coachmen Pursuit 32WC
  • I don't believe that a Coachmen Pursuit 32WC has air brakes, so the Air Force One would be out of the question. The main difference you should likely be considering is whether you want a permanently installed braking system or one that is portable and requires setup each time you're going to be traveling. They both have their benefits and draw-backs, but considering that it appears you're towing a 2020 Ford Escape that you'll likely have for a while, your best bet is probably going to be...

  • Can I Use the Brophy Scissor Step on a Class C RV
  • You could probably make the Brophy # SS02 work on your Class C as long as there is something secure to mount them to right below the coach's entry. These Brophy steps are typically used on truck bed campers that have limited space available for steps to be mounted, so if you've got something similar then you can make this work, but there are likely better solutions. Depending on the width of the door, the MORryde StepAbove RV Steps for 21-3/4" to 22-1/4" Wide Doorways - 2 Steps # MR86RR...

  • Higher Capacity Trailer Hitch that Fits 2021 Ford Escape Non-Hybrid
  • The most similar and highest capacity hitch we offer for the non-hybrid models of the 2021 Ford Escape would be the etrailer # e89YR which has a tongue weight rating of 525 lbs and a total trailer weight capacity of 3,500 lbs. Worth mentioning is that the max capacity a 21' Escape can have is 3,500 lb so using the etrailer hitch will allow you to use the full capacity of your vehicle.

  • What Bike Rack For 1-1/4 Hitch and 70 lb. E-Bike
  • Yes, we have some options for you but in order to make the weight limit rating will need to remove items from your e-bike when hauling them. Such as the battery which is something that is suggested on all e-bikes even when being transported on a bike rack with a heavy weight rating. The Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes, # SA4412B , fits both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches with use of a removeable sleeve. This has a weight rating of 60 lbs. per bike. But if you remove the battery and possibly...
