Features to know about

Effortless Towing with Simple Installation: Plug-in T-One Connector

Installing a trailer connector shouldn’t be a complicated chore. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector lets you plug directly into your vehicle's wiring harness. It makes adding a 4-way connecter simple and hassle-free with no need for cutting or splicing. Simply plug it in, and you’re ready to tow — perfect for DIY enthusiasts and those short on time.

Keep Your Wiring Safe: Powered ModuLite

Worried about draining your vehicle’s power? The built-in ModuLite power module efficiently powers the trailer lights without overloading your car’s electrical system. This powered converter system draws electricity straight from your vehicle's battery, preventing disruption to your tail light circuits, ensuring smoother and problem-free journeys.

Weatherproof and Reliable Connections: Solid Construction

Weather can change on a dime, but with the T-One connector’s solid, one-piece construction, you don’t have to worry about moisture interference. It’s weatherproof, providing you with a durable and secure connection so that you can tow with confidence, rain or shine, season after season. Use a small dab of grease on the connectors to keep corrosion at bay.

Easy Power Integration: Simple Connection to Car Battery

Forget the hassle of complicated wiring – this harness comes with a straightforward way to power your trailer lights by linking directly to your car battery. Running a hot lead straight to the battery ensures a reliable power supply. It's thoughtfully designed for an easy and neat installation, requiring minimal tools and offering clear instructions for even the most complex vehicle setups.

Keep Wires Organized and Out of Sight: Stowable Connector Design

Toggle between towing and everyday driving with ease. Designed to be stowed in the rear cargo area, your trailer's connector is out of sight when not in use. The neat storage offers a clean look without any dangling wires interfering with your vehicle’s appearance or function.

Compatibility Across Models: Versatile Adapter Options

With the capability to work with 5-pole, 6-pole, and 7-pole adapters, this harness isn't just limited to a 4-pin connection. It's engineered to flexibly fit your towing needs, providing the versatility to adapt as your trailering requirements change, offering outstanding compatibility with a range of setups.

FAIR PRICE, GOOD SERVICE

Great instructional video, quality part - what’s not to like?



by:
2020 Ford Escape

The video on the install was spot on for my 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid SE. Only issues I had were cleaning up the goop from under the door weather seal that got spread along a bit after I peeled it back. A roll of paper towels and a few shots of WD40 loosened it up and got it off. I don't use the towing set up that much so I left the wires inside the car rather than mount the connector outside. Passed all tests with my tester and on the trailer. Thanks for the great products and videos!



by:

This wiring harness works perfectly and is very easy to install. I had ordered the C95FR which was a product made by Curt (#56432) and on there site said it was the right harness for the 2020 Escape and did not work. etrailer exchanged the part thinking it may have been bad with no questions. That one did not work either so I ordered the TE54FR which is the correct harness for my car. etrailer was great to work with and I will order from them on future needs. There video is accurate and you do not have to pull the tail lights on the 2020 escape like on all the proceeding models.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

Easy plug and play harness. However, the instructional video should include wiring to a traditional Escape. Not just a hybrid, which the battery is in the back of the car, easy peasy to get to. The traditional gas powered car is more involved to get wired to the front of the vehicle. At least give pointers.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

The kit installed smoothly and worked on the first test. I couldn't find a You Tube video for a 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid installation but the supplied printed instructions were clear and told me what I needed to know.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

Wiring harness was a simple plug in fit for my 2020 Ford Escape. Interior panels easily popped open to access all the connection locations.



by:

The combination of finding the correct part as well as the very detailed and informative video made installation so easy on this that I didn’t need to read the instructions.



by:
Ford Escape

Everything needed for our 2020 Ford Escape. All the connections were strait forward and and worked directly. You do need to open up some of that back inside paneling but that's were the connections are so you have to do what you need to do. It wasn't hard on the Escape. The instructions were accurate and clear.



by:

Ordered 06/01/20 - Shipped 06/02/2020 - Arrived 06/05/2020 -
Installed 06/05/2020 (had a professional install) - Have not used it yet but look it looks good from the back of the car. I like the little device connector next to the receiver.



by:
2020 Ford Escape

I put this on my 2020 ford escape. The only slight issue I ran into was running the power wire to the battery. The video shows it being installed on a titanium version with the battery in the back. Lower models have the battery upfront with several different firewall grommets.



by:

Great fit, quick shipping, excellent video for following along and doing the install. Tons of length for the harness, very impressed.



by:

This item was back ordered till 11/22/23 , this is totally unacceptable had to demand a refund on 8/30/23 Wish this transaction went a lot smoother. Ordered one from auto zone and will ship to my residence on 9/1/23



by:

Instructions were clear and detailed. The wiring has worked flawlessly. It may take a little time to install, but the finished product is neat and out-of-the-way. It looks as good as a factory install!



by:

Works well. Fits well. My battery was all the way in the front so I wired it to a cigarette outlet that was in the back and it works great

  • Recommended Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
    For your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid models, you will want to use the etrailer # e89YR, which has been confirmed as a fit on your Escape Hybrid. When it comes to the operations of the hands free lift gate, we have found that in order to use this feature you will need to kick on either side of the hitch receiver, but it will still operate and allow you utilize the hands free opening of your rear cargo gate. If you're going to be towing with your Escape Hybrid, you'll want to use the Tekonsha...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing With 2022 Ford Escape
    In order to add a hitch to your 2022 Ford Escape you will want to start with buying an aftermarket hitch like the ones we carry here at etrailer. Once you have the hitch, you can have a local installer put it on for you, or you can install it yourself. For a hitch for towing with your 2022 Ford Escape I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR. This is a custom-fit Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the...

  • Hitch Receiver for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    I just confirmed with Curt. Depending on which model of hybrid your 2022 Ford Escape is the Curt item # C23FR will fit. The hitch will fit the standard hybrid models, but it will not fit the PHEV, or plug-in models. I have linked an installation video. If you need a wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TE54FR.

It can be confusing, but the way it is listed means it fits the Hybrid, and also fits everything else that isn't the Hybrid.

    The two available hitches for your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid, are almost identical. We have the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e89YR and the Curt # C23FR. They are both very capable, class II hitches with 2" receiver openings. They are both rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 525 pounds of tongue weight.

    The Draw Tite hitch part # DR47FR that fits your 2020 Ford Escape does not include trailer wiring but you can easily add that on with the part # TE54FR for a fit that is easy and overall very reliable! Not everyone who installs a trailer hitch plans to tow a trailer which is why the wiring wasn't included. Some people only want to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid is the etrailer # e89YR because it has the hidden crosstube but it also features a matte black finish which not only looks better, but is also more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see with other hitches. For wiring you'll want to use the T-One # TE54FR from Tekonsha as we've found their wiring kits to be the most reliable. You can use the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202 to secure the 4-Way connector next...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Fit for 2020 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid
    As long as your Escape Titanium Hybrid isn't a PHEV model, we do have a hitch fit and a trailer wiring harness for you. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C23FR. For a wiring harness fit, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # TE54FR. For a ball mount, use # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Is Bumper Fascia Trimming Needed to Install etrailer e89YR Class III Hitch on 2021 Ford Escape
    To install the etrailer brand # e89YR Class III hitch on your 2021 Ford Escape, you will NOT need to trim the bumper fascia, as you can see in the provided photo and video showing the identical Curt hitch being installed on a 2021 Ford Escape like yours. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # TE54FR, a ball mount like # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
