2017 Ford Escape hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2017 Ford Escape?
CURT 13131 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 3,500 lb), CURT 13186 (Class 3, 2-inch receiver, 3,500 lb), and CURT 12111 (Class 1, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 3,500 lb) all fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.
How much can a 2017 Ford Escape tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 525 lb tongue weight, or 5,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Escape has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.
Do I need a wiring harness for the 2017 Ford Escape?
If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 56320 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Escape's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
