Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability.

In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Looks great, works great. I had mine installed by my mechanic, as my 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid had some complexity required for installation (exhaust had to be moved out of the way). I don’t use it for towing, just to connect a bike rack. I appreciate that there’s no visible bar across the backside, the only part you see is the square receiver tube.

I had this unit installed on a 2023 Ford Escape. It was an exact fit Due to my age I had a garage install it but it was a piece of cake for them. There may have been a bolt to temporarily remove on each side of the frame. The fit means that the bolt-up left no gaps and as the picture shows it fits like etrailer said it would. I just go up town and rent a trailer when I need to move a large bulky item that doesn't fit into my truck box.I use it for utility trailer or my bike rack. I'm satisfied.

That's great, Mike! What kind of bike do you ride? The hitch looks awesome :)



by:

The hitch is high quality. I recommend following the installation instructions exactly. I had a couple holes that didn't line up and I had already bolted 4 down. I had to order the accessory bolts and fishwires (luckily etrailer gave me a good price), and buy a rasp bit for my drill to finish installation. Installation took longer than expected, but wasn't that hard.There was a slotted hole on the side of the frame that the hardware fit through.



by:
2021 Ford Escape

Easy to follow instructions and the wire fish-line made this a breeze to install. Wish I didn't have to modify the holes on the frame of the car to accommodate the holes on the hitch (seems like they could just manufacture the holes on the hitch larger/ in a different location to begin with), but overall very pleased with the product. Bought to tow small trailer and also a bike rack. Seems like this will do the job just fine.

Installed on my 2021 escape phev, watch the videos on pulling the bolts through and moving some egr sensor slightly aside. Thanks etrailer.



by:
2022 ford Escape

Fit and assembled (mostly) as advertised. Note on the 2022 Escape SE Hybrid there is a heat shield extends onto the passenger side frame where the hitch is mounted, so there is a fastener that needs to be removed before you mount the hitch for a clean install. Otherwise all good. The video help was outstanding.



by:
2025 Ford Escape

Website was easy to use. YouTube video was a great reference. Delivery was fast. Installation was easy. Fitment was right on. Definitely a doable project for the first-timer and quick work for a DIYer.



by:

This is the 3rd hitch I have bought from etrailer so you can already tell that my experience has been excellent. The fit is perfect and took only a bit over an hour to install including stops to talk with neighbors. I am 71 yrs old and retired, so no need to rush. Before buying the hitch I had submitted a question regarding my application and received a quick and complete response.
I would not consider going anywhere but etrailer to purchase a hitch or other related parts.



by:

This was an easy install. I had to drop the mufler down a bit to fit this. The n once the bracket was situated loose, I simply retightened the mufler back in it's original place. The fish wire was freaking amazing. I used an alagator clip and a magnet to help me pull the wire through. There is no need to drill any holes. Just use the slightly bigger hole slightly in front of the target bolt holes on the side of the frame rather than under it. It worked like a charm! I'm glad I did this myself rather than blow $$ on having it installed.

So far, still functional. I remember how easy this was to install. Im glad I did. We use it for mountain bikes. It certainly does the job.



by:

I think e trailer is the best (least costly, best products, fastest, best customer service). I build trailers, I’ve shopped around in local stores and in the internet. I get all my parts from trailer.



by:

Perfect fit. Very well designed hitch and everything needed to fish the anchors in place. The instruction video made it clear that the hole needed to be opened up to accommodate the metal block however they didn’t make it clear that the carriage was bigger than so. I had to work open it up more after an hour to get the fishing string in place. The second side went much faster just using a step bit to open hole.

This is the best hitch for your Sienna. Tucks up under and preserves almost all of the little clearance they have! We did pay to have it installed...



by:
2020 Ford Escape

Easy install. Used to haul motorcycle same day. Looks good. For elongating holes in frame (longest part of install). Used a carbide tip drill 1/4 inch (pilot) and then 1/2. Then 1/2 inch drill grinder to smooth out edges.



by:

You had the hitch that I needed. I thought the price was very good. I installed it and it fits. Perfect thank you.

The hitch installed flawlessly no problem at all. If everything fit everything was in the package been using it for a year now with no complaints whatsoever would highly recommend it and E trailer to anyone.



by:

Great product, well painted. Company kinda slow. Sent wrong part first order, sent it back and they sent me correct part I hope. Takes 14 days to get a refund on returned hitch. I think they deliberately send the wrong part the first time then milk all the interest they can out of your money for 2 weeks. When I asked why so long for a refund they replied "lots of returns".

Delivery was on time, the item was packed well, everything was as in the package and the installation was exactly as described in the video. I am completely satisfied and will recommend etrailer to anyone look for towing items. I apologize for having no photos but I can assure you that it looks seamless and I can hardly notice that the hitch is there. It's as though it was put on at the Ford factory.

by:
2023 Ford Escape

I e-mailed support to verify fit to a 2023 Ford escape PHEV, and they said its an exact fit. I knew from looking at the photos I would have to modify the hitch frame. Using a cut-off disk I removed several inches on the drivers side frame and sacrificed one bolt hole to accomodate a mounted plastic box that Ford installed on part of the frame. I could not locate all of the fasteners for the box so removing some steel was my best option. My hitch will only be used to haul a bike carrier or an aluminum cargo box, so this hitch will do the job. No modifications had to made to the vehicle. Every thing was stock when complete with the hitch install. Photo taken was without the heat shield, the last part to install when the job was done.



by:
Ford Escape

Perfect fit on 2020 Escape Titanium Hybrid. Zero trimming necessary. A cone bit it perfect for clearancing the back hole for bolts and washers to fit through. Put a pilot hole 1/2-3/4" in front of the rear hole and it's perfect for the rear bolt.



by:

Works well and a great product! Install is a bit awkward for one person, but super easy directions and worked out well!



by:

Had to cut 1/4 inch of the front to get the muffler brace to bolt up looks good very pleased



by:

Hitch went on exactly like the YouTube video instructions. Looks great and arrived on time. I would definitely buy this hitch from etrailer again and will recommend to anyone.

  • Recommended etrailer For a 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid PHEV
    Hey Ken, we have had customers in the past use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR with their Escape Hybrid PHEV. I'm not 100% sure why we have it listed as a no fit, but I'd imagine it's because of the EVAP box, but everything else lines up and will bolt right in.

  • Correct Hitch for a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid
    Hey Lorie, thanks for reaching out! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR is what you need for your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid. Our listings fall under 2 different categories: "excluding Hybrid and PHEV" and "Hybrid" which just means it will fit everything but a PHEV. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make any additional recommendations for you!

  • Will Installing Trailer Hitch on 2020 Ford Escape Void Vehicle Warranty
    When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case on your 2020 Ford Escape with the Curt # e89YR, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided.

  • Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommended for 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid
    Hi Bruce, I'd be happy to help you with that! For a trailer hitch, I'd go with the etrailer brand # e89YR. For a trailer wiring harness, I like the Tekonsha # TE54FR. The wiring harness is a plug and play install, but you will need to run a 12V feed to the Escape's start battery using the included wire and hardware.

    Hi Christa! Most of the hitches will fit your 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid, but the PHEV will be a little different. With that said, I recommend grabbing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e89YR. This will fit you Hybrid model and the matte finish will help it blend in and make it look more stock than the gloss finish most other brands use.

  • Comparing Weight Of Class 2 Hitch And Base Plate For 2024 Ford Escape Hybrid
    Hello Bob, thanks for reaching out. The Roadmaster Base Plate for the 2024 Ford Escape Hybrid, part # RM77GR weights 55 lbs altogether. We do not offer a class 2 hitch for this vehicle, so I cannot tell you the exact weight of your hitch. We do carry s class 3 hitch for the 2024 Escape, part # e89YR and it weighs 32 lbs. So it stands to reason the class 2 hitch would weigh just a few lbs less than this. So if you remove the hitch and add the base plate you will be adding about 25 ish...

    For your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid models, you will want to use the etrailer # e89YR, which has been confirmed as a fit on your Escape Hybrid. When it comes to the operations of the hands free lift gate, we have found that in order to use this feature you will need to kick on either side of the hitch receiver, but it will still operate and allow you utilize the hands free opening of your rear cargo gate. If you're going to be towing with your Escape Hybrid, you'll want to use the Tekonsha...

    Hey Edward, Choosing the right hitch can be a bit overwhelming, but I'll be happy to point you in the right direction!

    No, it will not! Consumers are protected under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. It allows aftermarket parts to be installed without warranty issues unless the install or part caused a problem. But the simple act of installing a hitch or other aftermarket part does not void the warranty. The EcoHitch Stealth Hitch item # EH43SR you were looking at has been confirmed to fit only the PHEV models of the 2023 Ford Escape. If yours is the standard or hybrid model you'll need our etrailer item...

  • DIfference Between Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch for 2023 Ford Escape
    The Curt # C23FR and etrailer Hitch # e89YR have the same design and specs. The main difference between the two is the powder coat finish. The Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte finish. The matte finish gives it more of an OEM look and typically blends better on the vehicle. This also does a better job hiding dirt and scratches compared to the glossy finish. If you aren't concerned with the look of the hitch I would choose whichever has the better price.

However, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR is confirmed to fit the hybrid. I actually prefer this hitch since I think the matte black finish looks better than the glossy finish found on the Draw-Tite and Curt. The hands free functionality will still be there, just limited.
