asked by: MEL
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BLU55XR is confirmed to fit the 2021 Ford Escape hybrid. It comes with all needed hardware and we even have an installation video created to walk you through the whole process. For a compete flat tow set up, you will need base plates, tow bar, safety cables, indicator light wiring and supplemental braking. For the 2021 Ford Escape, I recommend:
- Base Plate Kit, Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BLU55XR
- Tow Bar, etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates, # e47ZR (includes safety cables)
- Wiring Kit, Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154
- Battery Charge Line Kit For Towed Vehicle, # RM-156-25
- Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75 (if your motorhome does not have one)
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
