Question:

I have a 2014 Ford Escape titanium with class 2 towing capacity but I dont have the part that I need to tow. What would be best for my situation and Ford? Im trying to tow a 1000lb wrestling ring and have a trailer too.

Expert Reply:

It sounds like you are talking about the ball mount. I recommend # 36071 for the Class II trailer hitches for the 2014 Ford Escape. You will also need a properly sized ball to match what the trailer coupler requires. Check the top of the coupler to see what size ball it needs. For a 1-7/8 inch diameter ball use # 19256 rated for up to 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. For a 2 inch ball use # 19258 rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight.

If you also need a trailer wiring harness added to your Escape you can use # 118566 to add a 4-Way flat trailer connector. I have linked a video showing how it installs.

I have included a couple of links to helpful articles as well for you.
