I have exactly what you are looking for, but the ease of install can be a bit of a loaded question. If you are comfortable dealing with trailer wires such as the occasional splicing or battery terminal connection, then this install will be easier than falling asleep in a La-Z-Boy recliner. If you've never touched a trailer wire before, then I've attached a video that will hopefully put your mind at ease that you can do this yourself. This can definitely be a DIY type of installation.

Hi Randy,
Starting with the necessary parts I have the following recommendations:
Baseplate: If you have a non plug-in hybrid then you'll need the # BLU92CR; if you have a plug-in hybrid then you'll need part # BLU82CR instead.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included and has a built-in drop/rise to help keep it level between the motorhome and Escape.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire... view full answer...
Hey Kirt,
Congrats on the new car!
To get your car safe to flat tow you'll need the following parts:
Base-Plate # RM39FR
Tow-Bar Adapter # RO64FR
Lighting # RM-15267
Chargeline # RM-156-25
Air-Force One Vehicle Side # SM99209 and Hose # SM99666 (if you do not still have the vehicle side of the kit, I didn't see you mention that)
OR

You may also need a high-low adapter, your tow bar needs to be within 3"... view full answer...
I have the perfect solution for you with the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system. This installs directly to the flush rails on your 2022 Ford Escape and looks really sleek once in place. I especially like the dual rubber strip on the top because it makes installing T-Slot accessories much easier.
Here are the parts that you need:
53" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711420 or Silver # TH711400
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH96RV
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

Hey Lorie, thanks for reaching out!
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR is what you need for your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid.
Our listings fall under 2 different categories: "excluding Hybrid and PHEV" and "Hybrid" which just means it will fit everything but a PHEV.
If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make any additional recommendations for you! view full answer...
They do not make any specific replacement parts for the Sears Sport 20-SV anymore however, you can certainly make the Replacement Mounting Hardware part # CTC-18PARTS work for you. The holes may not align perfectly but you can always drill new ones and use part # LT37467 to cover the old ones. This is a very popular option for the older Sears cargo boxes like what you have. view full answer...
Hey Ken, we have had customers in the past use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR with their Escape Hybrid PHEV. I'm not 100% sure why we have it listed as a no fit, but I'd imagine it's because of the EVAP box, but everything else lines up and will bolt right in. view full answer...
Hi Bob!
We have you covered for both. For the base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM77GR. They make the best base plate in the industry and are the ones to get. That said, do you already have tow bars? If they aren't Roadmaster, let me know what they are and I can see if we have something to match it. If you do not have a tow bar yet, I have the one I recommend below as well as the needed wiring:

How many pins does the connector have on your tow vehicle? If there are six total pins including the center pin you would want the part # BX88206. If instead there are 4 pins on the smaller connector you would want the part # BX88254. view full answer...
We sure do Kevin! To get all of the installation hardware for the etrailer Hitch item # e89YR, you were looking at, you will need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches item # RHK.
Please note that the item # RHK will also work with the Curt item # C23FR, item # C67MJ, the Draw-Tite item # DR47FR, and item # DT92RR. You'll just need to swap out the Hitch Item Number in the step bellow.
The item # RHK kit will have all of the bolts, nuts, spacers, and fish wire tools you need... view full answer...
If both turn signals blinking at the same time is a new problem that has occurred after the harness had worked fine before, there are a couple of possibilities that may be causing the issue. First, the easiest thing to check are the trailer connectors. You will be looking for any dirt or corrosion build up in one or both connectors (vehicle and trailer side). Clean them out if you find any dirt/corrosion and see if that helps.
If you still have the problem, disconnect the trailer to test... view full answer...
Hi Pat! Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e89YR will fit your 2024 Ford Escape Active. This fits all models of the 2024 Escape with the exception of the PHEV. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. It also features a matte black finish to help hide dirt and scratches.
Will you be using the hitch for a bike rack, towing, or something else? view full answer...
I have a solution David, thanks for reaching out!
The Roadmaster 12V power kit # RM-9332 will create a 12 volt power outlet in your Entegra Vision XL.
You’re basically adding a new 12V outlet by running a positive wire to power and a ground wire to the chassis, then mounting the socket where you want it.
The install instructions are attached but also refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
It works like your usual 12 volt outlet so it always... view full answer...
Hey Lester, at this time we only have one hitch that is a confirmed fit for the 2022 Ford Escape PHEV and it is the EcoHitch part # EH43SR. view full answer...
The Diamond LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor Kit # DI34ZR wires in parallel with each trailer lighting circuit. For a trailer with LED lighting (that does not present the same electrical load as an incandescent type bulb) you will wire one resistor inline with each circuit, so for a typical 4-pole installation you'll need three, for left turn/stop, right turn/stop and running light circuits. The kit includes quick-splice connectors. view full answer...
Hey, Bill.
If you’re not installing a supplemental braking system, like part # DM86VR, then the answer is no, you won’t need to install a charge line kit (part # RM-156-25). You will, however, want to double-check your owner’s manual for the exact steps to put your Escape into Tow Mode. From what I found, once the vehicle is in Tow Mode it will then transition into Sleep Mode.
We do have an important note about that process:
Once the vehicle is set in Tow Mode, make sure to wait at least... view full answer...

Hi Russell!
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C23FR will fit standard and Hybrid versions of the 2022 For Escape, but not the PHEV. For that we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C67MJ.
With that being said, I am not seeing that anything special needs to be done to accommodate the hybrid battery. You will need to enlarge a few holes in the frame, but other than that, it basically bolts right up.

Hi Christa!
Most of the hitches will fit your 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid, but the PHEV will be a little different. With that said, I recommend grabbing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e89YR. This will fit you Hybrid model and the matte finish will help it blend in and make it look more stock than the gloss finish most other brands use.
I doesn't look like we carry a Class 1 or Class 2 hitch for your vehicle, but having the 2" receiver... view full answer...
