Question:

Which hitch do you recommend for my 2015 Ford Escape? I would like them to be hidden as much as posible. Thanks

I recommend the Curt # C13186. This hitch will give you the hidden look you mentioned while maintaining a 3,500 pound gross towing capacity. You will want to check your owner's manual for the towing capacity of your vehicle. The towing capacity can range from 1,500 - 3,500 pounds depending on your engine size and equipment.

This trailer hitch has a Class III rating, a 2 x 2 inch hitch receiver, and a maximum tongue weight of 350 pounds. This hitch sits primarily under the vehicle, so you will only see the hitch receiver under the vehicle. The installation of this hitch will require the exhaust to be temporarily lowered and the heat shield to be modified or trimmed.

I have attached an installation video of this hitch for you.
