Question:

I have a etrailer tow hitch on my 2011 Escape and I am now changing for a 2019 Escape. Will the 2011 tow hitch fit the 2019 Escape?

I have a great hitch solution for you. Even though it depends 100% on the hitch model you have, none of our hitch manufactures carry a hitch that fits from a 2011 Ford Escape for a 2019 Ford Escape. With that being said, you most likely need a completely new hitch for your 2019 Ford Escape.

For that route, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13186. Not only does this hitch provide you with 350 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity and 3,500 pounds of gross towing weight capacity, it also comes with a gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that provides superior protection against rust and corrosion than our other brands. It also comes with a concealed crosstube which gives your vehicle more of a factory look. With this model, even though it partially blocks the lift gate sensor, you will still be able to use the sensor if you swing your foot in a slightly longer range.
