Best 2005 Ford Escape Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

This is a well constructed unit. Being a mechanic helped make the installation easier. The only problem came when I was short one backing nut and one Std nut was the wrong size for the thread. Since I had a proper strength nut available in my shop the delay was short. The instructions were scant but the illustration was sufficient to figure out after careful study. A+ for the unit D for the parts collator. My unit went on a 2005 Ford Escape. The fit was perfect. 1 Hour assembly time plus 1/2 half hour securing missing parts.

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.

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.

Works Well with your 'Curt' Class Three Hitch and Wiring Harness on my 2014 Escape, Your Shipping was fast and complete for all Hitch parts and wiring Harness. Thank You, Ken H.

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.

This hitch is just what I needed. I have a Popup Camper I tow behind my motorcycle and also wanted to tow it behind my wife's Ford Escape. The issue is the trailer is very low and my MC hitch is only 12 inches off the ground. This gets me close so the trailer doesn't point to the sky. Easy ordering quick response and the hitch arrived before expected. Seems like a quality item. Thanks for making me a happy camper!!

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 .

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

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

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

definitely solid as a rock

Excellent product! With the three different ball sizes, this tri-ball mount gives you a lot of flexibility. Gone are the days of having several different ball mounts to fit different tongues. High quality construction makes this an excellent investment.

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 was the longest hitch ball mount I could find anywhere. I used it with a short extension for my 2021 T G so that I could open the back doors without hitting the trailer wheel crank. With my new trailer, Intact Flyer Discover, I don't need the extension and can still open the doors. Works well.

Heavy duty , very good quality.

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.

I have a custom made tow guard. The ball mount I have was too short to allow me to attach the tow guard to my new truck. I searched the web and found just what I needed at etrailer.com. It's the only site I found that carried the size I needed. The product fits my needs perfectly. I can now protect my boat from rocks and other road debris when towing. Thank you etrailer.com.

Works great! No issues. Very pleased with etrailer. After I ordered the wrong part, etrailer took care of me. They were great to work with.

Perfect fit. Heavier duty than expected: solid. Good value.

No problem. Exactly what I needed

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.

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

Thrilled with the drawbar. Exactly the size we needed, well constructed, and fits with the Curt hitch and size requirements for hauling. Very pleased with how quickly it came.

This hitch has worked out great for me over the last year. It’s very heavy duty and easy to adjust. I’ve hauled a 9,000 lb boat, long-distance on numerous occasions without issue. I also haul a landscape trailer on a daily basis weighing over 5,000lbs and haven’t had a single issue. Great hitch that was significantly cheaper than others and is very high quality. I’ve recommended it to several people and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. The only thing I would like to have now in a hitch is a tongue weight gauge, but it isn’t necessary.

This is a great hitch. Highly recommend this hitch. This is my second curt hitch, first one was on my ford f450 but unfortunately that one wouldn’t fit on my new truck, do to shank size.
