Will etrailer Hitch For 2022 Ford Escape Work For Using A Cargo Carrier
Question:
I want to get your e98874 cargo carrier for my new 2022 Ford Escape, but I currently do not have a hitch installed. Will the e89YR fit this vehicle and will it be a good hitch for the carrier?

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR hitch will indeed fit your 2022 Ford Escape. This goes for Hybrid models as well, if you have one. Though this is rated up to 525 pounds of tongue weight and will be a great hitch for carrying the etrailer.com # e98874 cargo carrier.
With that said, I do have a couple add on parts you may want to look at for the carrier. First is the # e99047 lock. This will allow you to secure the carrier to the hitch if you were going to be leaving on the vehicle for extended periods of time. It is also threaded so you will not lose the anti rattle feature. Next is the # e98943-44LED light kit as well.
Adding this will require a wiring harness for your Escape though, so you will also need the Tekonsha # TE54FR if you decide to go with it, but if your cargo ends up blocking your taillights, it is a nice thing to have.
