Expert Reply:
It depends. Not all supplemental braking systems are compatible with the type of braking systems on some hybrid vehicles.
One system that will work on your 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid with power assited brakes is the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. It's one of our favorite systems here because of how easy it is to use. The installation is more involved than a lot of systems but after that you just flip a switch when you're ready to tow.
