Question:
I recently purchased a 2023 Ford Escape PHEV. I have a Falcon All terrain tow bar and currently tow a Jeep Wrangler. I would like to know if the Blue OX base plate is compatible with the Falcon tow bar. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Yes, it will be if you use the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter item # RM-031. This adapter will allow you to connect the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU82CR, which is the only one that fits the PHEV 2023 Ford Escapes, and a Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar like item # RM-520.
Some other parts you will need to tow your 2023 Ford Escape PHEV are listed below:
Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency item # BLU37TR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
or since you most likely already have the cable from flat towing your Jeep you will just need the following parts to connect to your Escape's lights and control them:
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit item # RM-152
RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector - item # RM-910030-7
Roadmaster Bent Electrical Socket Bracket item # RM-910030-5
