Features to know about

Effortless Towing with Simple Installation: Plug-in T-One Connector

Installing a trailer connector shouldn’t be a complicated chore. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector lets you plug directly into your vehicle's wiring harness. It makes adding a 4-way connecter simple and hassle-free with no need for cutting or splicing. Simply plug it in, and you’re ready to tow — perfect for DIY enthusiasts and those short on time.

Keep Your Wiring Safe: Powered ModuLite

Worried about draining your vehicle’s power? The built-in ModuLite power module efficiently powers the trailer lights without overloading your car’s electrical system. This powered converter system draws electricity straight from your vehicle's battery, preventing disruption to your tail light circuits, ensuring smoother and problem-free journeys.

Weatherproof and Reliable Connections: Solid Construction

Weather can change on a dime, but with the T-One connector’s solid, one-piece construction, you don’t have to worry about moisture interference. It’s weatherproof, providing you with a durable and secure connection so that you can tow with confidence, rain or shine, season after season. Use a small dab of grease on the connectors to keep corrosion at bay.

Easy Power Integration: Simple Connection to Car Battery

Forget the hassle of complicated wiring – this harness comes with a straightforward way to power your trailer lights by linking directly to your car battery. Running a hot lead straight to the battery ensures a reliable power supply. It's thoughtfully designed for an easy and neat installation, requiring minimal tools and offering clear instructions for even the most complex vehicle setups.

Keep Wires Organized and Out of Sight: Stowable Connector Design

Toggle between towing and everyday driving with ease. Designed to be stowed in the rear cargo area, your trailer's connector is out of sight when not in use. The neat storage offers a clean look without any dangling wires interfering with your vehicle’s appearance or function.

Compatibility Across Models: Versatile Adapter Options

With the capability to work with 5-pole, 6-pole, and 7-pole adapters, this harness isn't just limited to a 4-pin connection. It's engineered to flexibly fit your towing needs, providing the versatility to adapt as your trailering requirements change, offering outstanding compatibility with a range of setups.

Had a few surprises during install in a 2022 Escape SE Hybrid but nothing major. I had to splice in another foot of wire for the passenger side wiring to get a clean install, but its in and works great. Again the install video was a great help!



by:

This wiring harness fit our 2020 Escape Titanium Hybrid perfectly! The online video demonstrates the installation. Big thank you to etrailer.com for supplying all the parts needed to install a complete hitch assembly including a hitch, wiring harness and mounting bracket for the harness plug.

The last time I wired a vehicle was 25 years ago, nightmare on Elm. To this kit, what a difference, everything I needed was in this kit, fantastic!! And, most of all, thank you, very much!! Took me 20 minutes to wire everything, read the directions and watch your video's. Best tool yet, thank you again.

Works great super easy install.



by:

Easy installation, I ran wiring thru inside of vehicle under carpet and out a rubber grommet in fire wall to battery as not to having wiring under vehicle



by:

The video on the install was spot on for my 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid SE. Only issues I had were cleaning up the goop from under the door weather seal that got spread along a bit after I peeled it back. A roll of paper towels and a few shots of WD40 loosened it up and got it off. I don't use the towing set up that much so I left the wires inside the car rather than mount the connector outside. Passed all tests with my tester and on the trailer. Thanks for the great products and videos!



by:

This wiring harness works perfectly and is very easy to install. I had ordered the C95FR which was a product made by Curt (#56432) and on there site said it was the right harness for the 2020 Escape and did not work. etrailer exchanged the part thinking it may have been bad with no questions. That one did not work either so I ordered the TE54FR which is the correct harness for my car. etrailer was great to work with and I will order from them on future needs. There video is accurate and you do not have to pull the tail lights on the 2020 escape like on all the proceeding models.



by:

FAIR PRICE, GOOD SERVICE



by:

Easy plug and play harness. However, the instructional video should include wiring to a traditional Escape. Not just a hybrid, which the battery is in the back of the car, easy peasy to get to. The traditional gas powered car is more involved to get wired to the front of the vehicle. At least give pointers.



by:

The kit installed smoothly and worked on the first test. I couldn't find a You Tube video for a 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid installation but the supplied printed instructions were clear and told me what I needed to know.



by:

Everything needed for our 2020 Ford Escape. All the connections were strait forward and and worked directly. You do need to open up some of that back inside paneling but that's were the connections are so you have to do what you need to do. It wasn't hard on the Escape. The instructions were accurate and clear.



by:

The combination of finding the correct part as well as the very detailed and informative video made installation so easy on this that I didn’t need to read the instructions.



by:

Instructions were clear and detailed. The wiring has worked flawlessly. It may take a little time to install, but the finished product is neat and out-of-the-way. It looks as good as a factory install!



by:

Wiring harness was a simple plug in fit for my 2020 Ford Escape. Interior panels easily popped open to access all the connection locations.



by:

Great fit, quick shipping, excellent video for following along and doing the install. Tons of length for the harness, very impressed.



by:

Ordered 06/01/20 - Shipped 06/02/2020 - Arrived 06/05/2020 -
Installed 06/05/2020 (had a professional install) - Have not used it yet but look it looks good from the back of the car. I like the little device connector next to the receiver.



by:

I put this on my 2020 ford escape. The only slight issue I ran into was running the power wire to the battery. The video shows it being installed on a titanium version with the battery in the back. Lower models have the battery upfront with several different firewall grommets.



by:

Works well. Fits well. My battery was all the way in the front so I wired it to a cigarette outlet that was in the back and it works great



by:

I use to work for [online] many years ago.

  • Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommended for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    Hi Bruce, I'd be happy to help you with that! For a trailer hitch, I'd go with the etrailer brand # e89YR. For a trailer wiring harness, I like the Tekonsha # TE54FR. The wiring harness is a plug and play install, but you will need to run a 12V feed to the Escape's start battery using the included wire and hardware.

  • Will Tow Bar Lighting Transfer Into Trailer Wiring of Towed Vehicle
    Hey David, this is a great but your tow bar lighting will also transfer to the trailer wiring part # TE54FR that you referenced. So your tow vehicle's taillight circuits will make it's way to your bike rack that is connected to your towed vehicle trailer wiring connection. What bike rack do you have?

  • Recommended Hitch for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
    For your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid models, you will want to use the etrailer # e89YR, which has been confirmed as a fit on your Escape Hybrid. When it comes to the operations of the hands free lift gate, we have found that in order to use this feature you will need to kick on either side of the hitch receiver, but it will still operate and allow you utilize the hands free opening of your rear cargo gate. If you're going to be towing with your Escape Hybrid, you'll want to use the Tekonsha...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch vs. Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on 2020 Ford Escape
    When it comes to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR compared to the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR47FR for your 2020 Ford Escape there are a couple of differences between the two that I'll go over for you. The first is the style, with the Curt hitch being a concealed crosstube which only shows the receiver, while the Draw-Tite is a visible crosstube, so the Curt is going to maintain your Escape's look better than the Draw-Tite.

  • Is Bumper Fascia Trimming Needed to Install etrailer e89YR Class III Hitch on 2021 Ford Escape
    To install the etrailer brand # e89YR Class III hitch on your 2021 Ford Escape, you will NOT need to trim the bumper fascia, as you can see in the provided photo and video showing the identical Curt hitch being installed on a 2021 Ford Escape like yours. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # TE54FR, a ball mount like # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

So as long as your '22 Escape is the standard hybrid and not the plug-in hybrid, the Curt hitch will absolutely fit, with the correct part number being the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23FR Like you said, there are also numerous customer reviews of the # C23FR fitting an Escape Hybrid, and the...

  • Installation of 4-Flat Wiring Harness on 2022 Ford Escape
    Since your 2022 Ford Escape doesn't have the tow package and it has LED's you have no other option than to use a wiring harness that requires a power wire ran to the battery. The LED wiring harnesses are to small to splice into and you can't use anything without a power module because of the LEDs.

  • Differences Between Curt Trailer Hitches for 2022 Ford Escape

If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # TE54FR, a ball mount like # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin and # 40038 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing With 2022 Ford Escape
    In order to add a hitch to your 2022 Ford Escape you will want to start with buying an aftermarket hitch like the ones we carry here at etrailer. Once you have the hitch, you can have a local installer put it on for you, or you can install it yourself. For a hitch for towing with your 2022 Ford Escape I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR. This is a custom-fit Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    For your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid we have the etrailer hitch part # e89YR as a confirmed fit which is a really great option. It's mostly hidden and has great towing capacities as well. Only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which allows it to be mostly hidden and this also helps with ground clearance. If you need trailer wiring too the Tekonsha kit part # TE54FR is an easy fit and has a very reliable converter box.

I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TE54FR be installed when you are installing the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that is needed when towing small trailers. It can also be used to add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if your hitch mounted accessory blocks...

They are both very capable, class II hitches with 2" receiver openings. They are both rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 525 pounds of tongue weight.

For wiring you'll want to use the T-One # TE54FR from Tekonsha as we've found their wiring kits to be the most reliable.
