Question:

I have a CMF13439 hitch on my 2019 Chevrolet Equinox and I just got a 2023 Ford Escape. Will it also fit on the new Escape?

Expert Reply:

I have a hitch for your 2023 Ford Escape but the part number you gave me goes with the Curt item # C77FR and it will not fit an Escape. Instead you will want the etrailer Hitch item # e89YR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Escape with included hardware.

The etrailer hitch item # e89YR is a comparable hitch to what you currently own. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so any accessories or ball mounts you are currently using are compatible with your new vehicle. It fits both the standard and hybrid models.

To tow a trailer you will also need the Curt Wiring Harness item # C75CR. This will provide you with a 4-way connector to control your trailer's lights.

I have linked installation videos for both parts below.
