Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2014 Ford Escape
Question:
Recently purchased a 2014 Ford Escape. I would like to know if this rack will fit on the escape and what the installation setting would be as well as where should the lower arm sit on the vehicle

I just spoke with my contact at Thule, and they do not offer a trunk mount bike rack for your 2014 Ford Escape.
I have a solution for you, with a Yakakima rack. I would recommend the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Carrier, part # Y02637. This rack holds 2 bikes and has anti sway cradles with soft rubber straps to secure the bikes to the rack. I have linked you to a product review video for this rack. If you would like locks for this rack, you would need the # Y02623 to secure the rack to your trunk and parts # Y07233 and # Y07202 to lock your bikes.
If you are planning on carrying women's bikes or bikes with alternative frames, I would recommend a bar adapter like the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar, part # HRBA-PRO. This adapter attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem, and provides a more even ride for your bikes.
