Trailer Wiring Harness For 2017 Ford Escape SE

Question

Question:

I see that the Curt C56320 is suggested for the 2017 Ford Escape excluding the SE model. But I dont see why, or which wiring harness IS appropriate for the SE 1.5 Liter turbocharged model. Is the exclusion correct? If so, whats the suggested wiring harness? Thank you.
