The factory hitch on your Ford Escape is most likely a 1-1/4 inch Class II hitch. If you have an aftermarket 2 inch hitch the Thule Parkway 4 Bike Carrier, item # TH956, will work on your vehicle but you will have to stay within the tongue weight rating of the lowest rated item whether it is the vehicle, hitch or bike rack.

If you have the factory 1-1/4 inch hitch you will need to use the Thule Parkway 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack w Frame Mount Cradles for 1-1/4 inch Hitch, item # TH957, which will work with the Class II hitch on your Escape. You will also need to stay within the tongue weight rating of the lowest rated item whether it is the vehicle, hitch or bike rack, with this setup.
