We confirmed with Yakima that the HangOut part # Y02637 that you referenced fits both the 2016 and 2017 Ford Escape Titanium editions.

Here's the specific fit info Yakima lists for this rack and your vehicle:

Place the upper strap hooks at the top edge of trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.
Outer/lower support frame rests on the lower portion of the license plate or well. When bikes are loaded, re-tension straps to ensure base pads only make contact with the vertical surface of the well or plate.
Place the lower strap hooks at the bottom edge of the trunk, hatch lid, or rear door.
Side strap hooks to back side edge of trunk, hatch, or rear door below tail lights.
Yakima Hangout 2 trunk mounted rack max load of 60lbs. 30 lbs per bike. Yakima HalfBack 2 and FullBack 2 trunk mounted racks max load of 75lbs, 35 lbs per bike. Yakima 3 bike trunk mounted racks weight limit for 2 bikes is 60 lbs. / 3 bikes is 90 lbs.

Yes, the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 that you referenced is a more robust and overall nicer trunk bike rack. Is a lighterweight and has a really nice pad setup so it's the way to go for sure.
