2014 Ford Escape Titanium, Will the 75758 hitch work with the hands free lift gate, by using the foot under the bumper
asked by: Jerry R
Expert Reply:
You can still use the hands-free lift-gate on your 2014 Ford Escape Titanium with Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75758 installed. The sensor area will just be limited to either side of the vehicle near the exhaust pipes. The instructions which I have linked for you, show this. This is going to be the case with all of the hitches for the 2014 Escape.
To complete your towing set up I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It includes 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring you can use T-connector harness # 118566. I have linked videos showing installations of both the hitch and wiring for you.
