CURT calls the install a novice job, about 30 minutes with hand tools, and the main body tucks up behind the bumper so only the receiver shows.
Trailer lights are a plug-in job on this one. CURT 56432 is the four-flat plug harness for the 2020 Ford Escape, $101.95 CAD, and it clicks into the factory connector so you're not splicing wires behind the bumper. A second harness fits as well; both are below.
