Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2019 Ford Escape

Published 01/30/2019

Question:

My kids are finally old enough that I want to start taking the family on some camping trips so I am looking to set up my 2019 Ford Escape with a hitch. What do you recommend?

The trailer hitch I highly recommend for your 2019 Ford Escape is the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98866 because it has a concealed crosstube and is a complete bolt-on installation that will not require drilling into your '19 Escape's frame to install.

This Class III, 2" trailer hitch is almost entirely hidden behind your bumper, as you can see by the accompanying photo. This hitch has a black powder coat finish to protect it from corrosion and also has a 3,500 lb towing capacity and 350 lb tongue weight capacity. This hitch is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty. I have added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on an Escape for you to check out as well.
