Question:
I would like to know if a CURT hitch #13650 will fit on a 2018 Ford Escape?

Expert Reply:
The Curt # 13650 trailer hitch is designed to fit a 2005 to 2012 Ford Escape, so I do not recommend it for your 2018. With that said, I do have an option that is designed to fit your vehicle.
For your 2018 Escape, I recommend going with the Curt # C13186. This is rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 350 pounds of tongue weight, but you will need to check your owner's manual to check the max towing capacity as it will change depending on how your Escape came equipped. Though no drilling is needed, a few of the frame holes will need to be enlarged and some trimming of the heat shield is required to get it installed. I include an install video we have of this being done on a 2018 for you to check out as well.
