We have several hitch mount cargo carriers for your 2013 Ford Escape Eco Boost, but the folding cargo carriers are only compatible with 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. If you have a trailer hitch with a 2 x 2 inch receiver, I recommend looking at the etrailer 24x60 Cargo Carrier, # e98874. This carrier has a long shank with a 2 inch rise in the shank for better ground and exhaust clearance and offers plenty of bumper clearance when it is folded up. I have attached a review video of this carrier for you to check out.

A basic hitch pin and clip like # PC3 is included with this carrier. If you would like a locking hitch pin, I recommend looking at part # e98880.

If you have a trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, then I recommend looking at the Reese 20 X 47 cargo carrier # 63155. This is not a folding carrier, but has a stylish design, a shank with a 3 inch rise and plenty of bumper clearance. At this time we do not have folding cargo carriers that were designed for 1-1/4 inch receivers. I have also attached a video review of this carrier for you.

A hitch pin and clip are also not included with this carrier. For a standard pin, you can use part # PC2. For a locking hitch pin you can use part # e98880.
