Draw-Tite Tested Tough
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.by: Beau03/28/2020
Installed it on my 2020 Escape Sport Hybrid AWD. Confirmed fit, as advertised! I was worried about finding one that fit since that the model is still pretty new redesign.
It wasn't too bad to install (I'm not a professional), and I got it done in an evening. Didn't need an exhaust hangar removal tool -- I just used some grease and a pair of pliers. For resizing the access hole, I used a Dremel with a Silicon Carbide Grinding Stone bit and it didn't take much grinding. Other than that, I followed the directions and it was pretty straightforward.
The product itself feels very sturdy and it's heavy. It almost feels like overkill since I'm only going to be putting a bike carrier on it. Only not-so-good thing was some of the black paint was flaking off already, on arrival. It's not in a visible spot though.

I bought one of these for my old car and was very pleased with it. When I traded that vehicle in for a newer model, I bought another hitch conversion for it. This is a great product. It fits perfectly and the directions are clear and concise. With a little ingenuity, this 67-year-old managed to complete the installation alone. It really isn't that difficult. If you need an add-on hitch receiver for your vehicle, I highly recommend this one.

Fit, quality, instructions and customer support were top notch. Got a new 2020 Ford Escape on Jan 26th, ordered the hitch the next day, then tore my rotator cuff so couldn’t install until today. But the install was quick easy and exactly like the video.
I’d recommend etrailer any day of the week! Thanks!!

The instructional video is excellent. And I was pleasantly surprised that you even supplied the fish wires to pull the hardware through the frame. One trip to purchase a pneumatic right angle grinder. It fit the car perfectly. I should have done it sooner.

Easy to install, works great!
by: David 10/26/2022
Fit like a glove but I had to Dremel away some metal inside receiver tube so the draw bar would go in. It seems the reinforcement may have been welded on a tad off location.I paid a little more for the the draw tight brand but I don't think it was worth it.

Easy to install and has worked perfectly for what I needed

I haven’t installed it yet but it was delivered today. One day early.

Fit perfect. Tricky to do by yourself without a lift but it can be done.

2014 Ford Escape
Took a total of about 35 minutes to install, definitely a better fit than the earlier 2014 escape models, no trimming exhaust shelds! Just remove 2 exhaust bolts, enlarge 2 holes in sub frame. The most time consuming part was fishing the lock plates and bolts through the subframe.. then tighten the hitch and install the 2 exhaust bolts! Easy!!
by: Joe04/12/2021
easy to order, simple installation, nearly perfect fit. I had to grind the access holes larger to get the bolts into the frame rail. also had to shim the front bolt locations due to a sheet metal transition not accounted for. my shim prevented the hitch from pointing downwards a little
by: Marc 07/21/2021
Fits and does not protrude too much from under bumper. Will be great for platforms and bike racks.

My trailer hitch came in super fast and it was super easy to install it. So far so good, it looks really good and I can't wait to use it to accomplish all the trips and projects I have in mind.

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
- Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Ford Escape Compatible With a Weight Distribution HitchCurrently the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR47FR is the only aftermarket receiver we offer for your 2020 Ford Escape that is rated for a weight distribution hitch. It will have the lower receiver height as it is intended to also fit vehicles that do not come with a factory tow package and the supporting rear fascia. I do recommend contacting your Ford dealer to ensure your Escape will be able to support the amount of weight you are looking to tow.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2020 Ford Escape Interfere with Backup SensorsThe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DR47FR is perfectly compatible with a 2020 Ford Escape and will not interfere with any sensors or features such as backup sensors, hands free lift gate sensors, etc.
view full answer... - Will Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2020 Ford Escape Titanium HybridThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR47FR is a fit for your 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid as indicated by the Q&As that you've seen. From what I could find it looks like Draw-Tite has gone back and forth as to whether this will fit or not, but they now have it listed as a fit for the Hybrid and we actually have photos another customer posted to prove it! I have attached those photos for you to check out. Have fun riding your bike!

view full answer... - Can I Add A Hitch Receiver And A Hitch Cargo Carrier To My 2020 Ford EscapeYou will not have any problems adding a hitch receiver to your 2020 Ford Escape. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # DR47FR. This hitch receiver has a maximum tongue weight of 675 lbs. Please check your owner's manual for the maximum tongue weight and adhere to the lowest value between the two. Once you have the hitch receiver, then we can worry about the hitch cargo carrier. I recommend the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for...
view full answer... - 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid AWD Trailer HitchWe don't offer a 1-1/4 inch receiver for your Escape, but we do have a Class III hitch with the 2 inch receiver from Draw-Tite, part # DR47FR. The hitch is compatible with all models of the 2020 Ford Escape, so it'll fit your Titanium Hybrid perfectly. If your bike rack is only compatible with 1-1/4 inch hitches, an adapter sleeve, part # HT02 is available. Unfortunately, the # CU56FR Curt hitch you mentioned isn't compatible with Titanium or Hybrid models, so it wouldn't work for you. If...
view full answer... - Will Hands Free Liftgate of 2020 Ford Escape Still Work with Draw Tite Hitch InstalledWe've found that if you kick to either side of the hitch opening of the Draw Tite hitch # DR47FR that fits your 2020 Ford Escape the rear door will open still. The factory hitch might be a different story which is why they offer a way to relocate the sensors. We don't have a way to do this but I am sure the harness and kit is available at a Ford dealer. If you are looking for custom fit trailer wiring for your Escape as well we have the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR as well. This installs...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation and Wiring For 2020 Ford Escape Compatible with Weight Distribution SystemI recommend tthe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DR47FR for the 2020 Ford Escape which is compatible with a weight distribution system. If you plan on doing some light weight towing in the future, I recommend Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TE54FR which will give you a 4-pole flat on the Escape to illuminate the trailer lights. You will also need a ball mount. You may consider the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It...
view full answer... - Draw Tite Hitch That Fits 2020 Ford Escape HybridYes, the Draw Tite hitch part # DR47FR is a confirmed fit for the hybrid models of the 2020 Ford Escape like what you have. This would fit and work great! For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR for an easy to install and reliable option. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Ford Escape for Use with Draw Tite HitchThe Draw Tite hitch part # DR47FR that fits your 2020 Ford Escape does not include trailer wiring but you can easily add that on with the part # TE54FR for a fit that is easy and overall very reliable! Not everyone who installs a trailer hitch plans to tow a trailer which is why the wiring wasn't included. Some people only want to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts;...
view full answer... - Will Draw-Tite Hitch Fit 2020 Ford Escape HybridThe # DR47FR does not fit the hybrid or PHEV models. It fits all other models excluding these two. This means the Draw-Tite hitch will not fit your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. However, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR is confirmed to fit the hybrid. I actually prefer this hitch since I think the matte black finish looks better than the glossy finish found on the Draw-Tite and Curt. The hands free functionality will still be there, just limited. As is the case with any hitch,...

- Will the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II - 1-1/4 Fit a 2020 Ford Escape SEThe Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # DT92RR is confirmed to fit all 2020 Ford Escape models with the exception of the Hybrid. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DR47FR instead. This is a stronger Class III hitch that will provide more versatility should you need it in the future. I have attached an installation video of the hitch for your reference.
view full answer... - Curt Trailer Hitch vs. Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on 2020 Ford EscapeWhen it comes to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR compared to the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR47FR for your 2020 Ford Escape there are a couple of differences between the two that I'll go over for you. The first is the style, with the Curt hitch being a concealed crosstube which only shows the receiver, while the Draw-Tite is a visible crosstube, so the Curt is going to maintain your Escape's look better than the Draw-Tite. The accompanying photo is from the linked instructions...

- 2022 Ford Escape Concealed and Visible Trailer Hitch Comparison and RecommendationFinding the right hitch receiver can be overwhelming because of all the options and information out there, but you've definitely come to the right place! I'll get into the comparison in just a moment but right off the bat I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR for your 2022 Ford Escape because it has the concealed design and a matte black finish which means you're getting a great looking product that will last. The concealed style (like part # e89YR) means the crosstube...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape HybridThe 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...
