Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid
Question:
Does the Curt hitch fit the 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid?
asked by: Mark
Expert Reply:
Yes it does. The Curt Hitch item # C23FR is confirmed to fit all models of the 2023 Ford Escape including the hybrid. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ford with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crossbar is completely concealed behind the rear bumper and the 2" receiver is all that is visible. This not only gives you a better appearance but also helps with ground clearance.
This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. It is made in the USA and weighs 32 lbs.
I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of pictures so you can see what this hitch looks like once installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C75CR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
