• The Blue Ox base plates for the 2001 Ford Escape # BX2605 are not compatible with the Acclaim tow bar unless you use adapter # BX88133.

For lighting I recommend a simple solution like the E-Z mount kit # EZT20B to fit at the top of the rear hatch on your Escape. Most states now require supplemental brak

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Ford Escape Behind a Motor Home with a Falcon 2 Tow Bar
  
• Since you have the Falcon 2 tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster XL style base plates # 481-3 for your 2001 Ford Escape. For a replacement base bar use # RM-067. If you are missing the base bar then you may also be missing the quick disconnects # RM-201. Or you can get them all together using # 910021-00. In addition to the base plates and tow bar you will also need safety cables like # RM-643. For a lighting solution there are a couple of options. If you will not be towing the vehicle very

• Base Plate Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Escape Using a Falcon 5250 Tow Bar
  
• For your 2011 Ford Escape, I would recommend using the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 4414-1. These base plates are compatible with the Falcon tow bars without requiring the use of an adapter. If you are using your Falcon tow bar from an older application, you may also need the Quick Disconnect Base Assembly, # 910021-00. This base comes with the tow bars, but they are often left or sold with the previous vehicles. After doing some research on your vehicle, I found that Ford does place speed r

• Parts Needed to Setup a New Motorhome and 2012 Ford Escape 2WD for Flat Towing
  
• I did a bit of research on towing the 2012 Ford Escape front wheel drive and found that this vehicle can be flat towed as is, but Ford has speed restrictions when towing so a lube pump kit is needed to tow beyond the manufacturer specifications. You should confirm the towability and pre-tow procedures for your vehicle with your owners manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for towing instructions. We do not carry transmission lube pumps at this time. The base plate kit you referenced, # 4

• Base Plate Recommendation to Flat Tow a 2012 Ford Escape with a Falcon Tow Bar

• Can the Safety Cables on a Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar be Used with MX Base Plates, 2011 Ford Escape
  
• According to Roadmaster on the MX style base plates, like # 4414-3, the safety chain anchor brackets for Sterling cables will not fit. To use these base plates with the Sterling tow bar, # RM-576, the Sterling cable anchors must be attached to the frame of the vehicle or welded to the receiver portion of the bracket. You may need to use some extensions, like # RM-650646-10, and connectors, like # RM-910022, in order to attach them to the vehicle frame. If you choose to have them welded, the w
