Question:

Does the C114123 work on a 2017 Ford Escape?

asked by: Sam C

Expert Reply:

The Curt # C114123 is the # C11412 hitch packaged with their # C45521 ball mount. The hitch is a fit for a VW Golf, and wouldn't fit your 2017 Ford Escape.

For your2017 Escape, I'd recommend the US made Curt Class III hitch part # C13186. If the choice is available, I'll always recommend folks go with a class III hitch with the 2 inch receiver opening because you'll have a much better selection of hitch mounted accessories available.

To complete your towing system, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # 118715, a # 2753 ball mount and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260 or a 2 inch ball, part # 63845.

I've linked to install videos for the hitch and trailer wiring harness mentioned above.
