The Curt # C23FR has been confirmed as a fit on the Hybrid models of the 2020 Escape.

If you're going to be towing with your Escape you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For a wiring harness, the Tekonsha # TE54FR is the only wiring harness we have confirmed for your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, but will do a good job. We've generally found that these Tekonsha harnesses are the most reliable wiring we offer and the powered converter really holds up well over time. This kit will easily install by teeing into the plugs behind your vehicle's tail lights and provide you with a 4 way trailer connector.

You can round out your towing setup with the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which comes with 2 ball mounts with varying rise/drops, 2 hitch balls (1-7/8" and 2"), hitch pins, clips and a carrying bag to keep it all in. This kit will allow you to cover a variety of trailer setups you might encounter.
