We do have a trailer hitch receiver that is a fit for your 2017 Ford Escape, though the hitch you mentioned is not a fit for that vehicle.

Instead, what you will need for your 2017 Ford Escape is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75758.

This hitch will fit your Escape and will be a bolt-on installation, and even work with the Hands-Free Liftgate feature if you have that (you will simply need to kick your foot to either side of the receiver). The accompanying photo shows the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75758 installed on a 2017 Escape so you can see how it will look on yours.

Additionally, if you plan on doing some towing and need a trailer wiring harness, the correct part for your '17 Escape is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56320.
