Expert Reply:

The best hitch we offer for your 2018 Ford Escape is the Draw Tite part # 75782 because it has the best towing capacities, best price, has a concealed crosstube so it will be less visible, and has a mounting bracket welded to the crosstube for mounting trailer wiring.

For trailer wiring then the T-Connector kit part # C56320 is the best option. It's a custom fit kit for your vehicle and has the most reliable converter box so we recommend it the highest.
