Question:

I am interested in installing this base plate on a 2023 Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid. I currently tow a Jeep Wrangler JK with a Falcon all terrain tow bar. Is this tow bar compatible with this base plate? Thank you.

Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, it is! The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM77GR is compatible with the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar item # RM-522. This base plate kit is confirmed to fit the 2023 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

Some other parts you will need to tow your 2023 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid 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
