The trunk mount bike rack I highly recommend for your 2019 Ford Escape is the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 because of its high-quality anti-sway cradles that ensure your bikes remain steady on the rack, as well as its integrated security features.

The aforementioned anti-sway cradles on the FullBack, which are available as a 2-bike carrier # Y02634 or 3-bike carrier # Y02633, work together with ratcheting straps to secure your bikes at three different points which keep them from making contact with one another or your Escape, which is one of the features you - and most people - were particularly interested in.

The FullBack also has arms which adjust and fold down for when you are not using the rack and it is constructed from steel to ensure durability but also padded to protect your Escape from any scratches or scuffing.

Another benefit of the FullBack # Y02634 and # Y02633 are the security features which will help you protect the investments you made in your bikes and bike rack. It has an integrated cable lock which secures your bikes to the rack as well as a steel-reinforced strap that stores inside your hatch to help keep it safely on the back of your car

I have added links to a couple video reviews of this rack for you to check out as well as a photo which shows how the FullBack looks when installed on an Escape.
