What Parts are Needed to Tow a Trailer and Use a Bike Rack on a 2002 Ford Escape

Question:

I have a 2002 Ford Escape with a 1 1/4 hitch, I would like to use it to haul something that has a 2 ball hitch. What type of adapter would I use to accomplish this? I would also need to have a bike rack on this hitch

asked by: Lori


Expert Reply:

Are you wanting to haul a trailer that has a coupler for a 2 inch ball? If this is the case, all you would need to do is remove the ball you currently have and install the 2 inch ball, part # 19258.

In order to tow a trailer and use a bike rack at the same time you will need to upgrade your 2002 Ford Escape to a 2 inch receiver hitch like part # 75118. Then you would need a draw bar with an additional receiver hitch built on it for bike racks like Curt part # D210.

Please take note of the weight capacities on your hitch and vehicle and do not exceed them.
