Expert Reply:

Yes, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM39FR is confirmed to fit the 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid. We even have a helpful installation video created, please note the link below.

For a complete list of items needed:

- Base Plate, Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM39FR

- Tow Bar, Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, # RM-522

- Safety Cables, Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables, # RM-645

- Wiring Solution, Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-152

- Supplemental Braking will be either the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO, # SM99251 for hydraulic brakes on your motorhome or, Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System, # SM99243 for motorhomes with air brakes.

You may or may not require a high/low adapter for use with your towing set-up. The objective is to have the tow bar set at +/- 3" of level once installed as this minimizes excessive wear on steering and suspension parts. I have included a help article that walks you through how to make the needed measurements to properly determine your needs.
