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?

Hey Andrew, how did things turn out with the wiring harness on your Escape hybrid? Did the connector behind the tail lights match up with the T-One harness? Your update could make it easier for others working on the same setup.
