Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Ford Escape Compatible With a Weight Distribution Hitch

Question:

Hi, I have a 2020 Ford Escape with the factory tow package. Im looking to replace the hitch with one rated for a higher tongue weight and suitable for use with a weight distributing hitch. Do you have anything that will maintain the same clearances and come out through the factory notch in the rear bumper? Everything I can find sits lower to the ground.

Currently the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR47FR is the only aftermarket receiver we offer for your 2020 Ford Escape that is rated for a weight distribution hitch. It will have the lower receiver height as it is intended to also fit vehicles that do not come with a factory tow package and the supporting rear fascia. I do recommend contacting your Ford dealer to ensure your Escape will be able to support the amount of weight you are looking to tow.
