Trailer Hitch Installation - 2015 Ford Escape - Hidden Hitch 90219- Video

Today on our 2015 Ford Escape, we'll be installing Hidden Hitch Class II 1-1/4 inch receiver tube hitch, part number 90219. Since this vehicle is equipped with the hands-free liftgate design and our sensor is mounted here between the bumper and the muffler, our opening or sensor area is going to be from here to here between the hitch and the muffler, somewhat limiting our options but still accessible to use the hands-free design. Now with our hitch installed, as you can see, we still have the option of our hands-free liftgate option. Here's what our hitch will look like once it's installed. We've got a nice round crosstube design. While it does sit below the exhaust, it sits far enough forward, it doesn't distract from the look of our vehicle. Here towards the end of the bumper is our class II 1-1/4 inch receiver tube hitch with our pre-drilled 1/2 inch hole. On either side of the receiver tube is going to be our chain hold downs for hooking on our trailer security chains. more
