Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ford Escape SE

Question:

Hi, I have a 2014 Escape SE and want to pull a Fleetwood pop-up trailer, around 2500 lbs. Will this hitch work for that? Thanks,

For a trailer hitch for your 2014 Ford Escape SE you would want the Hidden Hitch part # 87627. This hitch has plenty of capacity and would do well to tow your pop up. You would want to also check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine it's towing capacity and be sure not to exceed that figure.

Since 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 a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
