Rugged, Matte Black Finish
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

2020 Ford Escape
The hitch for my 2020 Escape Hybrid arrived very quickly. After watching the installation video I was confident the install wouldn't be too difficult. It was a piece of cake. The worse part of the job was making the forward most frame holes a little bigger. The fish wires worked great and the fit was spot on. It's a very solid hitch and appears very well made.

2023 Ford Escape
I e-mailed support to verify fit to a 2023 Ford escape PHEV, and they said its an exact fit. I knew from looking at the photos I would have to modify the hitch frame. Using a cut-off disk I removed several inches on the drivers side frame and sacrificed one bolt hole to accomodate a mounted plastic box that Ford installed on part of the frame. I could not locate all of the fasteners for the box so removing some steel was my best option. My hitch will only be used to haul a bike carrier or an aluminum cargo box, so this hitch will do the job. No modifications had to made to the vehicle. Every thing was stock when complete with the hitch install. Photo taken was without the heat shield, the last part to install when the job was done.

The hitch fit perfectly and was easy to install on my 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid. Customer service prior to purchasing was excellent when I had questions. The hitch was delivered on time and in good condition.

The hitch has been perfect with no issues. It looks like it came from the factory instead of an after market product. I would certainly purchase it again.

2023 Ford Escape
nice kit, wish the holes would line up with the existing holes in the frame better. Frustrating that passenger side was so tight and drivers side had to be modified 1/4", but would not have been needed with better spacing in hitch.
note that for 2023 escape the bolts can be fishwired through a hole in the side of the frame (instead of directions to enlarge existing holes in frame).
by: Greg 12/26/2023
Love the look of the hitch as only the receiver is visible from the rear of the vehicle. The holes on the car’s frame had to be elongated to fit the hitch configuration. 1/4” longer bolts would have been nice, too
by: Rod03/13/2024
Everything was perfect. All items shipped and arrived when stated. The video for installation was perfect.
Thank you.

Install was straight forward, your videos didn’t miss anything and I was able to install it by myself. I wished I had a helper though! Lol
by: Tom11/22/2023
Delivery was on time, the item was packed well, everything was as in the package and the installation was exactly as described in the video. I am completely satisfied and will recommend etrailer to anyone look for towing items. I apologize for having no photos but I can assure you that it looks seamless and I can hardly notice that the hitch is there. It's as though it was put on at the Ford factory.
by: Tom S09/12/2023
Hitch went on exactly like the YouTube video instructions. Looks great and arrived on time. I would definitely buy this hitch from etrailer again and will recommend to anyone.
by: Richard05/05/2024
The website was extremely informative. I had a lot of confidence that what I was buying would fit the car that I was putting it on Shipment was made the following day and there was no surprises about the condition of the product or its installation. I couldn’t be happier. The videos were excellent And the service and follow up, definitely deserve to five star rating
by: Michael 11/01/2023
Was easy to install. Glad that it had fish wires or there would be no way to install the frame bolts. Looks like a factory job...
by: Scott 01/14/2024
Very easy to install. Watching the video first was a big help!
by: Rachel06/05/2023
Putting the trailer together would’ve been a whole lot easier if the instructions that were sent were for this exact trailer. We had to follow the [online] video to do this. As for the materials for the trailer itself, the base looks decent, but the second tier parts, specifically the brackets/plates to connect the tubes, look ridiculous. The quality of these parts don’t belong on a $x,xxx trailer. Etrailer was great to work with and they have no control on the quality of this trailer as it was shipped directly from Malone. With that being said, I would buy from Etrailer again, not sure I’d pay this much for attachments to a trailer from Malone.

I’ve ordered hitches from etrailer.com in the past. Their service is superb.

The look and ease of installation was awesome. Only draw back I had was I feel like the bolts should of been a little longer. Just a touch. Mime are about flush with the nut. The instructions were detailed and easy to read.

2020 Ford Escape
Install went well. 1/4" die grinder with rotary rasp made quick work of enlarging the forward holes. I used a knife blade to hold the bolts in place while starting the nuts. They kept pushing back up into the frame rail. One incident when I shifted the impact wrench from one hand to the other and accidently reversed it. Shot the bolt and washer back into the frame rail but was able to hook them with a copper wire and pull it back into place. Whew!

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fit for 2020 Ford EscapeYour 2011 Escape is a 2nd generation and the 2020 is a 4th generation, so unfortunately there are significant differences in the rear structure of the vehicle that prevent the hitch from your 2011 from fitting your new 2020. The good news is that there are thousands upon thousands of 2011 Escapes still on the road, and there's likely a market for a used hitch if you were to post it on a buy/sell/trade type website and use the proceeds to defray part of the cost of a new hitch.
