Expert Answers about Ford Escape

  • Powering the Demco Wireless Transmitter
  • 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...

  • Is there a Plug In Adapter for a Brake Controller on a 2021 Ford Escape?
  • Hey Greg! I am not sure what connector you found but there are no plug in brake controller adapters available for your 2021 Ford Escape, I verified this with our vendors. When you say t-connector that refers to a 4-way wiring harness like item # C75CR, which you already have. To add a brake controller to your Escape you'll have to hardwire it in. The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Universal Wiring Harness item # RED52VR you were looking it is the best option and what I highly...

  • How to Add a Stop Light Switch Circuit on a 2016 Ford Escape for a Brake Controller
  • Hey Fred! I know I mentioned this in the comment you left on the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR video, but I wanted to share it here as well! When I looked online, I saw some of the concerns you have about the BCM and it potentially being an issue. You can either try tapping into the 3rd brake light, or you can use the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000 to make a stop light signal that's separate from any brake light circuits on your 2016 Escape. Does that help at all?

  • Recommended 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid
  • Hey Andrew. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK57CR does fit the 2023 Ford Escape hybrid so long as you do not have the tow package. If you have the tow package you'll need the Curt item # C59ZV. These are the only two styles of connectors. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK57CR plugs directly into your factory wiring behind the tail lights. The Curt item # C59ZV plugs into a factory port behind the rear bumper on the driver's side. I linked a installation video below...

  • What Would Cause Broken Cable for Demco Stay N Play Braking System
  • It really just comes down to the placement of everything whether or not the cable part # DM56VR will break on your Stay N Play. In the attached instructions on the second page Demco states: Cable breakage can only occur if there is an improper angle or if the cable is overtightened in the anchor. Review this step carefully after the cylinder is mounted to ensure proper installation. Also make sure there is a minimum of 3 ½” - 4” between the end of the cylinder and the anchor when brake...

  • Best Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
  • Hello Bob; we have two hitches available for your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, the etrailer # e89YR and the Curt # C23FR. The design and specs are the same so it really comes down to a preference on the finish between the two. I prefer the matte black on the etrailer hitch since it has more of an OEM look. This also helps to hide dirt and scratches. Since you will be towing you will also need wiring and a ball mount. The Curt # C75CR will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal...

  • Do You Have Replacement Hardware for a etrailer Hitch?
  • Hey Maria welcome back and congrats on your new Escape. To reinstall our etrailer item # e89YR on your 2025 Ford Escape, you'll need the Replacement Hardware Kit item # RHK. The hardware that comes with a hitch is only meant to be installed and torqued to specs one time. Reusing the bolts and nuts is dangerous because of thread wear, metal fatigue, and corrosion. Hitch bolts are subjected to high torque and constant shear forces. Metal stretches and weakens over its lifespan, severely...

  • Installation of Curt Hitch on 2012 Ford Escape
  • He actually does install the spacer block on the passenger side for the # 13650 but I can see why it seems that way. At the 2 minute mark he says "I'll slide my block on first" but the camera is on the person helping with the installation on the driver side. The installer is on the other side and not shown in the video.

  • Is Swapping Out Class II 2017 Ford Escape Trailer Hitch for a Class III Difficult
  • Hey Melissa, thanks for reaching out! If you're a DIYer then swapping out your current 2017 Ford Escape Class II hitch for a Class III like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98866 isn't very difficult, just time consuming and you'll need to figure out a way to get the old hardware out of your frame rail. There will be an access point you might be able to use a long magnet to get them out but it will take patience. For someone who isn't familiar with hitch installs this could be a...
