Most Popular Class I for 2011 Ford Escape

Perfect fit and easy to install.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the products I bought. Your communications are excellent; shipping was performed in an expedient manner and the tracking of the packages was much appreciated. I'm not sure I'll be buying anything else from you (I can't imagine needing another tow bar again) but will surely recommend your company if asked.

Just as advertised!

I was very pleased with the etrailer.com staff's help in choice of hitch, ease of purchase shipping and tracking of the products 98900 and E98866, both products arriving at my residence together the day promised and undamaged. My Grandson and I mounted the hitch today. I backed the car up onto a set of ramps and by removing the piece from the rear bumper as shown in the video, we had very little problems in guiding the hitch in above the muffler to its bolt down point and pulling the wires through the proper holes which I had circled with chalk. I did not trust the video and had constructed a wooden support under the muffler so it did not drop should the hitch slip out of our hands. We did use it to rest the hitch on top of the muffler when our arms got tired until we got the first nut on a bolt on either side in place. Being 70 years old with two back surgeries I would never have attempted this by myself because the class III 2" hitch is very heavy and awkward as the receiver area makes it want to tip down but a short 2x2 support kept it balanced. The video provided is worth mentioning, as it made the job easily understandable. Between prepwork and all it took about 1 1/2 hours. Very pleased.

Great product for a great price. Bought my hitch receiver and then realized I didn't need to order this ball mount elsewhere because of the competitive pricing at etrailer. Pro tip for trailer newbies like myself: Grease the ball to avoid squeaking and lengthen its life.

A solid piece of towing ability.

I bought this drawbar for towing a 2000 lb GVWR utility trailer behind my 2011 Escape with a factory Class II receiver. It gives me the drop I need to have the trailer ride level. Not an easy find in local stores. A very solid piece with full welds all around. I'm very confident it'll last my lifetime.

The draw bar is absolutely perfect! all other internet and local hitch installer contacts said no one makes a 1 1/4" draw bar with a 6" drop. first picture is my original draw bar with a 2.5" drop. the trailer was running quite high. number 2,3,4 are with your Brophy draw bar you can really see the trailer is level.I took a measurement that may come in handy in your files. my car is a 2012 ford escape with a factory trailer package . The measurement from the center of my receiver to the ground is 18"1/4" trailer tires are 5.30x12 This is my new car and I was surprised at the height. the Ford dealer was no help so possibly you can supply other 4 wheel drive escapes with draw bars.

Great product

With a receiver hitch already installed on a ford escape all my receivers are 2 inch but the one on the escape is 1 1/2 inch so I had a problem that etrailer had a solution for , the proper sized hitch that works great .

Looked everywhere for the right hitch tô fit my Ford Escape. Finally found it here. It fits perfect and delivery was fast. Will definitely be ordering from you again. Thank you.

Works great with my new Kurt receiver hitch and the drop is perfect for a level tow on a '08 Ford Escape.

was not the right height for my aplication, but the mount itself is good

Perfect fit and easy to install.

Nice items...all carefully packaged and individually separated for shipping...much appreciate the extra effort!!!!!

Looks great, if it holds up under use, then this is a great buy. Heavy duty, well spend money. I like the key lock, I have never seen this before but I can see you may have a need for locking your hitch at night in a motel parking lot or somewhere when you have to leave your hitch in your auto unattended.

I am using the hitch for a car dolly and a bike rack. The fit is a little loose for the bike rackmI'll see it really works when get on the road.

Quality is excellent. However, it did not work so I am not sure what to do with it. I thought I could use the top hitch for a Bike rack and pull a utility trailer with other toys. The trailer is too close to make a turn so good try but not able to use it. Thank you for asking. I did not open the box for a while because I was having the trailer worked on so assumed I waited too long to return.

Top quality Drawbar, great service.

Great services.

Perfect fit for a factory-installed classI II hitch on a 2010 Ford Escape.

no problem with this part.

Makes for a great hard-core dirt road set up with a 3000 pound trailer, in conjunction with the Curt rocker ball, Towing with an F150 over many miles of washboards, down through washes where the road was washed out, etc. Really makes for a gentler set up on the equipment in the trailer and the truck. Thanks a lot E-trailer!

My usage of your hitch is a bit unusual, I think. I pull a two ton roller with my Ram and I've used your cushioned hitch to smooth out the process. The roller Lunette just dropped over a 2" ball and then banged and jerked on the ball neck. Check out the photos for my adaptation.. I can flip it over and use the 2" ball! Have enclosed some photos. The cushion is holding up very well and it takes a beating!! Thanks

Ordered this hitch and it worked perfect for what I needed just bought a teardrop trailer. Couldn't open up the tailgate on my Jeep so I ordered this extended hitch and I brought the ball out past my spare tire and the tailgate opens up now I have no problems. And I looked everywhere couldn't find one of this quality and at this price very reasonable the other ones hundreds of dollars didn't want to spend that much.

This is a huge difference maker for us. I can open the tailgate of our truck with the trailer still attached, and helps minimize any body damage if my backing up is not good.

Heavy duty , very good quality.

Longer stinger let me drop the tailgate on my Tacoma with trailer attached. Replaced a similar but shorter Curt hitch and both are very substantial and well made for the weight of my trailer.

With good information from the website it was easy to order a Curt 2" Trailer Hitch, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector and Circuit Tester - 119178KIT, Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches (3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs - D-4), Curt Pin and Clip Hitch Receiver - C21500, Rubber Tube Cover for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers - I-728,Review, and 2" hitch ball 40038. Parts were delivered earlier than the initial estimate. Self installation (on a sloped drive way) took just under 2 hour. The fit of parts was very good, instructions and on-line video's were very helpful. My Kia did not have the wire plug in option, but the splice connections in the wire kit were easy to install. Most of the parts are hidden from view when the ball mount is not used.
