Expert Reply:
The best option for a tow bar that is compatible with the Blue Ox Base Plates # BO24FR that fit your 2021 Ford Escape hybrid is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR.
There are a number of reasons why I highly recommend the # e47ZR tow bar, starting with its long arms, which extend nearly 52 inches from the hitch when connected to your base plates. What this does is allow your Escape to track and maneuver better than shorter tow bars, particularly when turning.
The tow bar is also easier to disconnect than other tow bars due to its simple trigger releases, comes with integrated safety cables so you don't have to purchase them separately, has a mounting point for a coiled electrical cord, and even has an adjustable, tilting head to help ensure you are able to safely tow your Escape on a level plane.
Along with the tow bar, there are a number of other parts you will need in order to flat tow your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid, and I'll go ahead and list out everything you need below to make it simple for you:
- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU55XR
- Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-1676-7
