Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.Delivery was on time, the item was packed well, everything was as in the package and the installation was exactly as described in the video. I am completely satisfied and will recommend etrailer to anyone look for towing items. I apologize for having no photos but I can assure you that it looks seamless and I can hardly notice that the hitch is there. It's as though it was put on at the Ford factory.
Hitch went on exactly like the YouTube video instructions. Looks great and arrived on time. I would definitely buy this hitch from etrailer again and will recommend to anyone.

Works exactly as it should. This is the only way to get a hitch if you’re a DIY person, quite simple.
The hitch installation was very easy once the frame access hole was enlarged. The fit was perfect and the design was solid. No problem whatsoever pulling the bolts and reinforcing plates through the frame with the provided guides. While I won’t be towing anything with this hitch, it will be an excellent receiver for a bike rack carrying 2 e-bikes, or possibly an external luggage carrier. Overall, a worthwhile upgrade to my new vehicle.
I was very happy with the hitch purchased for a '24 Ford Escape. Good fit and no surprises, but I wonder if moving the forward most hole on both sides of the hitch would the negate the need to enlarge the front car frame holes on both sides of the hitch? The posted installation videos were extremely helpful in understanding the process and the pulling wires worked very well. Fortunately, I had access to a lift which made the installation for me problem free. I believe without a lift the installation would have been too extremely difficult and I certainly would not attempt to install the hitch at home without a lift.
The trailer hitch was a perfect fit, only took about 40 minutes to install. Shipping was right on time!

Yes easy install. No problems.
The hitch for my 2020 Escape Hybrid arrived very quickly. After watching the installation video I was confident the install wouldn't be too difficult. It was a piece of cake. The worse part of the job was making the forward most frame holes a little bigger. The fish wires worked great and the fit was spot on. It's a very solid hitch and appears very well made.

Ive been using the hitch for a year and its still solid as a rock. The hitch is a quality product that will last many years.
This was an easy install. I had to drop the mufler down a bit to fit this. The n once the bracket was situated loose, I simply retightened the mufler back in it's original place. The fish wire was freaking amazing. I used an alagator clip and a magnet to help me pull the wire through. There is no need to drill any holes. Just use the slightly bigger hole slightly in front of the target bolt holes on the side of the frame rather than under it. It worked like a charm! I'm glad I did this myself rather than blow $$ on having it installed.
It was great easy to install, and complete install kit came with hitch, already using hitch for wheelchair.
Hitch arrived on time and in perfect condition. Installation took a little longer than the estimated time but was not difficult. I installed by myself using jack stands. Looks and works great.
I e-mailed support to verify fit to a 2023 Ford escape PHEV, and they said its an exact fit. I knew from looking at the photos I would have to modify the hitch frame. Using a cut-off disk I removed several inches on the drivers side frame and sacrificed one bolt hole to accomodate a mounted plastic box that Ford installed on part of the frame. I could not locate all of the fasteners for the box so removing some steel was my best option. My hitch will only be used to haul a bike carrier or an aluminum cargo box, so this hitch will do the job. No modifications had to made to the vehicle. Every thing was stock when complete with the hitch install. Photo taken was without the heat shield, the last part to install when the job was done.
Great hitch that is well made, excellent fit, easy install and there is absolutely nothing I can fault. Price was good and fast delivery, will serve me well towing my utility trailer. Thank you. Don
The website was extremely informative. I had a lot of confidence that what I was buying would fit the car that I was putting it on Shipment was made the following day and there was no surprises about the condition of the product or its installation. I couldn’t be happier. The videos were excellent And the service and follow up, definitely deserve to five star rating
The hitch fit perfectly and was easy to install on my 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid. Customer service prior to purchasing was excellent when I had questions. The hitch was delivered on time and in good condition.

The hitch has been perfect with no issues. It looks like it came from the factory instead of an after market product. I would certainly purchase it again.
I have been buying things from Etrailer for many years, and have always been happy with your prices and super fast shipping.

Works as advertised, no problems. Great products at good prices!
Installed it this weekend on my 2020 Ford Escape. The video was excellent. Installation looks clean. Very happy!
Great install video and great quality
nice kit, wish the holes would line up with the existing holes in the frame better. Frustrating that passenger side was so tight and drivers side had to be modified 1/4", but would not have been needed with better spacing in hitch.
note that for 2023 escape the bolts can be fishwired through a hole in the side of the frame (instead of directions to enlarge existing holes in frame).
Easy to install within 1 hr. Solid hitch 2023 Ford Escape St line.
Install was straight forward, your videos didn’t miss anything and I was able to install it by myself. I wished I had a helper though! Lol
Great installation videos, great fit, quality paint and finish - what’s not to like?
Love the look of the hitch as only the receiver is visible from the rear of the vehicle. The holes on the car’s frame had to be elongated to fit the hitch configuration. 1/4” longer bolts would have been nice, too
Everything was perfect. All items shipped and arrived when stated. The video for installation was perfect.
Thank you.
Everything went as planned with no problems. The hitch and all hardware were very well made and everything fit just like it was supposed to.
no directions about removing exhaust to do hitch install, but other than that , I got it done in a little over an hour
