Hey Robert, thanks for reaching out about the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR!
Yes, you will need to use the FORCE button to set this system into Hybrid mode. Once the Patriot is in place and turned on you will use the remote to access to FORCE adjustment screen. Use the left button to lower that setting past 0 until you see the "H" for Hybrid mode, then press "OK" and you're all set!
Happy towing and May the Force be with you.

I meant to ask should we be using H mode for this particular 2023 ford escape hybrid? If it is correct to use the H mode for this car do you have any suggestions for sensitivity setting? The car weights 3700 lbs. Thanks Robb
