Question:

I have a 2016 Ford Escape SE 4WD. I am interested in this hitch but cannot find the distance from the ground to the top of the hitch. Some of the other hitches has this info in the installation video, so I would like to compare. Thanks

With Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75782 installed on your 2016 Ford Escape the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver opening will be approximately 14 inches.

If you plan on doing some light towing you will want to grab our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # e67DR. Our etrailer hitch ball comes in a black nickel plating which gives it a nice sleek look.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And to add a 4-Way flat trailer connector to the rear of the vehicle I recommend Tow Ready wiring harness # 118566. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.
