My favorite brand for flat towing equipment is Roadmaster so I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM77GR for your 2024 Escape Hybrid. For a complete setup you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental braking system. I recommend the following:
-Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar - Non-Binding # RM-522
-Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645
-Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System # DM86VR (If you have hydraulic brakes)
OR
-Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System # SM99243 (If you have air brakes)
More than likely you will also need a high-low adapter to keep the tow bar level. I have attached a helpful article below which explains how to measure to choose the right one. Once you have your measurement you can follow the link within the article to a list of all of our available adapters.
