Does etrailer Trailer Hitch for 2019 Ford Escape Allow Hands Free Lift Gate
Question:
Hi! I have a 2019 Ford escape titanium with foot activated lift gate. Will this hitch interfere with being able to use the foot activation? Thanks!

The Draw Tite part # e98866 is a fit for your 2019 Ford Escape Titanium with the foot activated lift gate. We've found that the lift gate function still works but you'll need to kick your foot to either side of the hitch opening instead. I attached an install video link for this for you to check out as well.
If you were looking for trailer wiring as well the best option is the easy to install and very reliable part # 118802 which I attached an install video for as well.
