Products Featured in This Question
Question:
Do you stock a trailer hitch for a 2014 Ford Escape that allows the use of the hands free deck lid release?

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98866 will limit the hands-free liftgate sensor to either side of the vehicle near the exhaust pipes.
The trailer hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. It has a matte black powder coat finish which is over a protective base coat that offers a superior rust resistance. The etrailer hitch has an extra coating of rust resistant paint which will give it better rust protection then the other hitches confirmed to fit your vehicle.
The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 3,500 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 350 pounds. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to find out the proper towing capacity for your vehicle.
I attached an installation video link below.
