To install a Roadmaster base plate on a 2023 Ford Escape PHEV, you will want the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM77GR. I checked with Roadmaster and this base plate has been confirmed to fit the Hybrid and
Plug-In Hybrid models. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.
Some other parts you will need to tow your 2023 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid are listed below:
Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency item # BLU37TR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
or since you most likely already have the cable from flat towing your Jeep you will just need the following parts to connect to your Escape's lights and control them:
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit item # RM-152
RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector - item # RM-910030-7
Roadmaster Bent Electrical Socket Bracket item # RM-910030-5
