The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2021 Ford Escape is an option from Curt:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR

There are a number of reasons this is the best hitch for your '21 Escape, starting with the fact it has a concealed crosstube so your Edge can maintain its from-the-factory appearance. The Curt # C23FR also has the best ground and bumper clearances for your '21 Escape, will allow your hands-free liftgate to continue working, and fits both the hybrid and non-hybrid models.

If you check out the accompanying photo you can see what the Curt hitch looks like when installed on a '21 Escape. Additionally, if you are planning on using the hitch for towing and need a wiring harness, the best option is from Tekonsha because we have found they make the most reliable harnesses, and it has the highest amp rating to help prevent against potential shorts; the correct fit is the following:

- Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TE54FR

To mount this to the Curt hitch you will simply need the No-Drill Mount Bracket, Long # 18136 with the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.
