Question:
Will this connector work with a 2023 escape hybrid? When I had by rear panels off it seemed like the they were 4 pin connectors not 6 pin as pictured in this product

Hey Andrew. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK57CR does fit the 2023 Ford Escape hybrid so long as you do not have the tow package. If you have the tow package you'll need the Curt item # C59ZV. These are the only two styles of connectors.
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK57CR plugs directly into your factory wiring behind the tail lights.
The Curt item # C59ZV plugs into a factory port behind the rear bumper on the driver's side.
I linked a installation video below for the Curt item # C55VV, which is a similar but better quality wiring harness than the Tekonsha item # TK57CR. If you skip ahead to the 6:30 mark you'll see where the harness is you'll need to access on your Escape.
What are you needing a wiring harness for? Are you pulling a trailer or adding lights to something?
