Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Ford Escape  

Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/16/2024

Question:

Will installation of this hitch affect my Ford factory warranty?

Helpful Expert Reply:

No, it will not! Consumers are protected under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. It allows aftermarket parts to be installed without warranty issues unless the install or part caused a problem. But the simple act of installing a hitch or other aftermarket part does not void the warranty.

The EcoHitch Stealth Hitch item # EH43SR you were looking at has been confirmed to fit only the PHEV models of the 2023 Ford Escape. If yours is the standard or hybrid model you'll need our etrailer item # e89YR hitch.

Hey, did you end up going with the EcoHitch or the etrailer hitch for your Escape? It’d be great to hear how the fit worked out and if everything went smoothly with your warranty. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same question.

@JerredH Hi Jared We actually ended up buying a 2024 with the factory trailer package which included an oil cooler. I do know that PHEVs are always a bit different from even the Hybrid model Dsve
