Question:
Please help with a list of everything I need to flat tow a Ford Escape Hybrid. I prefer Blue Ox brand if available.

Expert Reply:
To flat tow your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420
Base Plate Kit - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU55XR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
