Hey Edward,
Choosing the right hitch can be a bit overwhelming, but I'll be happy to point you in the right direction!
I like to recommend the etrailer hitch receiver whenever it's available for a vehicle, but not just because it has the etrailer brand on it. These hitches have a matte black finish which looks better on vehicles and is also more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see on other hitches.
For your 2024 Ford Escape you need the Hitch Part # e89YR as a custom fit. We actually had the opportunity to install this on a 2024 escape so I'm attaching that video as well as a photo of the finished installation for you to reference.
