Question:
I see you have a kit for my 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid that does not have a factory tow package but it is for a 4 pin connector. Do you have one that has the 7 pin like on ford and GMC trucks?

To install a 7-way on your 2008 Ford Escape you will first need to start with a 4-way. For that you would want the Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # 118551. Check out the install video I attached.
Now if the trailer you plan on towing doesn't have trailer brakes all you would need is the adapter part # 37185.
If the trailer does have brakes you would want the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185. This comes with everything needed to install a 7-way and install a brake controller. I attached an install video plus a set of installation instructions for you to check out.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
