It looks like the 45 lb weight rating that you're seeing is only for the OEM crossbars that came with your 2017 Ford Escape. For your application I recommend going with the Inno roof rack because it has a higher weight capacity at 140 lbs, an easy-to-use T-Slot system for mounting accessories, and the legs come with locks so you can deter theft of your roof rack system:
54" Inno Aero Crossbars - # INXB138-2
Inno Through Feet - # INXS150
I'm attaching an installation video of this setup on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 for you to check out. It's a different vehicle but the installation is exactly the same for your 2017 Escape. If you let me know what you plan on using the roof rack for I'd be more than happy to make some additional recommendations for you!
