Comparing Trailer Hitches for a 2019 Ford Escape

Question:
I just got a 2019 Ford Escape and need to install a trailer hitch. I see you have a few options so which should I go with and why?

Expert Reply:
There are indeed quite a few trailer hitch options for a 2019 Ford Escape but they can all be broken down into two categories, concealed cross tube and visible cross tube. The concealed cross tube option I recommend is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75782 and the visible cross tube option I recommend is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75758.
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver with the visible cross tube is easy to install as all you have to do is pretty much just raise it in place and insert the bolts but this then means you will see more of the hitch while installed (see photo 1). The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver with the concealed cross tube is harder to install as you have to remove the rear bumper but it is also almost completely hidden once installed (see photo 2). If you are handy or are choosing professional installation then I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver with the concealed cross tube.
I have attached install videos on each option for you as well.
