Question:

I am looking for a tow hitch for a 2021 ford escape hybrid. The model that comes up excludes the hybrid. Is this something you dont carry? Please advice. Thank you.

Hey Lorie, thanks for reaching out!

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR is what you need for your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid.

Our listings fall under 2 different categories: "excluding Hybrid and PHEV" and "Hybrid" which just means it will fit everything but a PHEV.

If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make any additional recommendations for you!

I plan on using the tow hitch to tow a small sailing vessel and/or for a bike carrier. Thanks for your earlier response.

@LorieM Since you're planning on potentially using this for towing I also recommend picking up the T-One Wiring # TE54FR and Mounting Brackets # 18144 and # 18136 so you have ready access to the 4-Way whenever you need it. You'll also need a ball mount kit to tow a trailer, but the correct one can vary so I'm attaching a link to our ball mount article that you can reference to make sure you get the correct one.
