Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13650 that you referenced will fit your 2011 Ford Escape. I confirmed this with Curt. Check out the install video I attached for this product also.

For trailer wiring I would recommend the Tow Ready Wiring harness part # 118551.

For a ball mount, hitch ball, and pin and clip, I would recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, part # 989900. This is a kit which includes 2 ball mounts, a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, and a hitch pin and clip.
