Best 2016 Ford Escape Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

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.

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.

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

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.

What I wanted and when I expected it. Thank you.

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

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.

Perfect fit for a factory-installed classI II hitch on a 2010 Ford Escape.

no problem with this part.

Works perfectly. Needed a tow bar with very little rise and would clear the bumper. Thankfully, etrailer has a huge selection of equipment so you can find the right piece.

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 .

This is a beast of a drawbar, solid forged steel & well finished. It's also very heavy and E-Trailer needed to ship 3 times because the first two broke out of the box they were packed in. (Someone in the USPS has a couple nice draw bars.) Fortunately the 3rd effort was much better packed in a reinforced box and was successfully delivered. E-Trailer customer service was exemplary in resolving the shipment issue & I will definitely shop with them again.

I had a great experience ordering from you. Your organization kept me completely up to date with the order & shipping process and delivered the exact products I ordered. Attached is a photo of the 16,000 lbs capacity hitch and 30,000 lbs 2 5/16 ball you sold me in use. The boat and trailer total about 12,000 pounds. Thanks again.

I was very pleased with the etrailer.com staff's help in choice of hitch, ease of purchase shipping and tracking of the products 98900 and E98866, both products arriving at my residence together the day promised and undamaged. My Grandson and I mounted the hitch today. I backed the car up onto a set of ramps and by removing the piece from the rear bumper as shown in the video, we had very little problems in guiding the hitch in above the muffler to its bolt down point and pulling the wires through the proper holes which I had circled with chalk. I did not trust the video and had constructed a wooden support under the muffler so it did not drop should the hitch slip out of our hands. We did use it to rest the hitch on top of the muffler when our arms got tired until we got the first nut on a bolt on either side in place. Being 70 years old with two back surgeries I would never have attempted this by myself because the class III 2" hitch is very heavy and awkward as the receiver area makes it want to tip down but a short 2x2 support kept it balanced. The video provided is worth mentioning, as it made the job easily understandable. Between prepwork and all it took about 1 1/2 hours. Very pleased.

Bought a trailer hitch and wiring harness for my 2017 Ford Escape. Both the hitch and wiring harness went on very easy, I spent maybe 4 hours with a lunch break thrown in to put the whole thing together.. saved me a ton of money not having to rent a truck and car carrier, and just towing a trailer. Thanks for a great product and a great price.

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.

Looked everywhere for the right hitch tô fit my Ford Escape. Finally found it here. It fits perfect and delivery was fast. Will definitely be ordering from you again. Thank you.

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.

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

This is a great product, so light and easy to use. Wish I had known about the pre-coated ball version, as i would have purchased that version, just cleaner than having grease on everything. Still this is by far so much easier than the old metal style receivers!!

Have been a customer for long time! Always and I mean always have had a great experience! The latest was super great as I needed a hitch in a big hurry to escape from a high Covid area and Odelia went way out of her way to make the delivery super fast! And to get us out of the area! :) E trailer has great customer service and products always have been quality!! Don't be afraid to do business with etrailer........

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.

Good service from e-trailer as usual. The extra length allowed me to lower the trundra tail gate with the Escape trave trailr hitched up. Should alse allow for a sharper maximum angle when backing the trailer up before equipment contact.

Slightly longer, so you can open your tailgate with a cargo trailer attached. Trailers with a tongue jack that is forward are problematic for tailgates...

Feels strong .

I needed an very specific ball mount(class I, 1/2" rise, 2" ball). etrailer had what I needed in stock and available to ship next day. I had the thing ordered in 60 seconds. Wish I wouldn't have waisted my time and gas shopping at my local hardware stores only to find they didnt have what I needed.
