Question:
To whom it may concern, Ive recently bought a 2021 Ford Escape hybrid Titanium, if that matters. I have a bike rack Id like to be able to mount on a trailer hitch. It has a 1.25 tongue. Im not seeing a hitch on your site that will work with the hybrid. Can you help? Thanks!

Hey Ned, for your 2021 Ford Escape hybrid we only have 2 inch hitches available like the etrailer part # e89YR which you can still use with your bike rack but you would just need a hitch reducer like the part # HT02. Or if you were looking for a reason to upgrade your bike rack you could go with one that fits this hitch size like the part # HR200Z.

Hey Ned, how did things go with the 2-inch hitch on your Escape hybrid? Did the hitch reducer work well with your bike rack? Your update could make it easier for others trying to fit a smaller rack on a hybrid model.
