For your 2015 Ford Escape the best trailer hitch we have for you needs is the Draw Tite part # 75758 which is a Class III, 2 inch opening trailer hitch with capacities of 4,500 lb total trailer weight and 675 lbs tongue weight.
I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar 2015 Ford Escape as yours for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118566 which is a confirmed fit.
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 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.
