What trailer hitch for my 2013 Ford Escape will work with Thule T2 Pro Xt 2 bike?

Expert Reply:

The Thule T2 Pro XT 2-bike racks came in a 1-1/4 inch version and a 2 inch version. You will want a trailer hitch that has the same matching receiver size in order to avoid having to use an adapter with it in your 2013 Ford Escape.

If the shank on your rack is 1-1/4 inches wide then I recommend # 36529 if your Escape has the hands free liftgate or # 36524 if it does not have the hands free liftgate. I have linked videos showing example installations of both hitches for you.

If the shank on your rack is 2 inches wide then I recommend hitch # 75782 if you have the hands free liftgate or # 75758 if you do not have it. I have linked videos on both of these hitches as well.
