• Trailer Hitch And Bike Rack For A 2012 Ford Escape
  Hello Chris. For your 2012 Ford Escape I recommend the Curt Class 3 Hitch # 13650. This hitch has a 2" receiver which is standard and will give you a ton of options for a bike rack. My personal favorite bike rack is the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B. This rack will work with the 2" hitch and it can carry 2 bike weighing up to 60 lbs apiece. So this will work with virtually any bike, even heavier e-bikes. It will also accommodate larger tires up to 5" wide. The Kuat racks are top quality, and it...

• 2012 Ford Escape Part Recommendations for Towing a U-Haul Trailer
  Hey Kelly, thanks for reaching out! I see you've purchased the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13650 and the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118551. These are great options for your 2012 Ford Escape, and exactly what I would have picked out for you! The only other thing you'll really need, if you don't already have one, is a ball mount. I really like the etrailer Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # e66PR because it hits the sweet spot of affordability, functionality, and it just flat out looks good. U-Haul...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack For Carrying Bikes Behind a 2012 Ford Escape
  I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13650 for your 2012 Ford Escape. This has the more common 2" receiver opening which allow for a wide selection of bike racks.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2018 Ford Escape
  The Curt # 13650 trailer hitch is designed to fit a 2005 to 2012 Ford Escape, so I do not recommend it for your 2018. With that said, I do have an option that is designed to fit your vehicle. For your 2018 Escape, I recommend going with the Curt # C13186. This is rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 350 pounds of tongue weight, but you will need to check your owner's manual to check the max towing capacity as it will change depending on how your Escape came equipped. Though no drilling...

• Differences between the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13651 and # 13650 for a Ford Escape
  I spoke with my contact at Curt and he told me that the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13651, does sit lower to the ground than the Curt Hitch, # 13650. Both trailer hitches will fit the 2005 to 2011 Ford Escape without a factory hitch, but the # C13651 will fit on models that were equipped with a factory 1-1/4 inch hitch. Once installed, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13651 will sit approximately 13-1/2 inches from the ground and hitch # 13650 will sit approximately 13-1/4 inches from the ground....

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid
  For your 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13650. Curt manufactures their hitches in the US unlike their competitor Draw-Tite so you can rest assured that your hitch has been rigorously tested and made for quality. Curt is also known for having a longer lasting gloss black powder coat finish over protective base coat that offers superior rust resistance when compared to their competitors.

• Size Bolts to Install Curt Class III Trailer Hitch on 2011 Ford Escape
  The 6 bolts you should have received with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13650 are 1/2-13 x 1 3/4 carriage bolts with the 1-3/4 number meaning the total length of the threaded bolt. This isn't a common issue with the bolts not working but you may need to use the drilling method as highlighted in the attached installation instructions. I have also attached an installation video that we made for this trailer hitch on a 2011 Escape that you can also reference.

• Will a Trailer Hitch from a Different Vehicle Fit a 2006 Ford Escape
  There are several trailer hitches that will fit the 2006 Ford Escape and it is possible that those hitches will fit other vehicles so the opposite can also be true.

• Complete Towing Set up for 2005 Dodge Caravan
  I have a solution for you but to answer your question, no that hitch will not fit a 2005 Dodge Caravan.

If he has the stow-n-go seats you're going to want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" item # 13389. This is a class III hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and a maximum...

• Clearance Of Full Size Spare When Installing Curt Trailer Hitch On 2005 Ford Escape
  The Curt trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 13650, is designed to be installed so that it is below the frame of your 2005 Ford Escape. The photo that shows the spare tire and hitch installed may appear as if it is quite close, but the hitch actually sits lower and will clear the full sized spare tire.

• Recommended Hitch Fit for 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid
  I'd recommend a Curt Class III receiver for your Escape. Curt makes a great product with a durable powder coat finish. The hitch you need will depend on if your Escape is already equipped with the factory 1-1/4 inch hitch. If it is, you'll want to use # C13651. If it isn't, use # 13650. As confirmed by Curt, these hitches are compatible with the hybrid model, and the only slight issue you might run into is if your Escape is equipped with the exhaust dampener as shown in the provided...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2007 Mercury Mariner
  2 inch trailer hitches have the best weight capacities and the most hitch accessories made for them so whenever available this is the hitch size to go with. So for your 2007 Mercury Mariner you'd want the part # 13650 for if you do not have a factory hitch currently or # C13651 for if you do have a factory 1-1/4 inch hitch. For trailer wiring then you'd want the Tekonsha part # 118551 as it installs the easiest and also has the most reliable converter box.

• Does Curt Trailer Hitch Part 13650 Extend Beyond the Rear Bumper
  All of the 2 inch hitches currently available for the 2009 Ford Escape, Curt, Draw-Tite, and Hidden Hitch, will extend beyond the bumper some, but not a whole lot. In a lot of cases it comes with the territory of a 2 inch hitch. The larger hitches are capable of more weight and more accessories, but that larger size makes the hitch more visible and in many cases it will stick out a little bit beyond the vehicle. I have added a link to a picture of a Class III hitch, installed on an Escape...
