Yes, we do flat tow components installations here at our Wentzville, MO location. If you want to setup and installation then you'll want to call our customer service department at 1-800-940-8924 to schedule. To flat tow your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid I have the following component recommendations:

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM39FR.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR along with the baseplate pins # RM-910029. This tow bar comes with safety cables attached to the arms so that you won't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The head and shank have a bit of adjustability so that you can keep the tow bar level between the Escape and motorhome.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit will splice into your Escape's wiring to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights.

You'll also need to install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 to prevent your turn signal from overriding your brake signal.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This system comes with a remote to show you when the brakes are being applied in the Escape and will also allow you to change your brake settings while from the cab of the motorhome. It also includes a charge line kit, which you'll need since the battery on your Escape will drain while you tow.

If your motorhome doesn't have a charge line ran already then you'll also need to pick up the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75.
