How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a compact luxury crossover often lands on a Class 3 two inch receiver when the door sticker and hitch card agree.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Lincoln Corsair in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 13454. That Class 3 hitch uses a two inch receiver for listed 2020 through 2026 Corsair years on the live card, excluding plug-in hybrid. It is the deepest Escape and Corsair Class 3 hitch we keep in stock here. Wiring is a separate carton, and we do not invent a Corsair-only four-flat when the shelf does not carry one that lists this badge. Confirm ratings on the live product card, keep Escape on its own guide when that badge is on the door, and skip this SKU if your Corsair is a plug-in hybrid.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the Corsair card below.

Watch on YouTube →CURT 13454 is the Corsair hitch we stock deepest for listed 2020 through 2026 years. It is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver. The live description lists about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and five hundred twenty-five pounds tongue weight for that fitment, but always confirm the numbers on the product card before you load. The same live card also covers listed Ford Escape gas and hybrid years while excluding plug-in hybrid. Match your door sticker there instead of guessing from a neighbour’s Escape.
If the door sticker says plug-in hybrid, do not force 13454. That exclusion is printed on the live card for a reason. Open the Escape buyers guide when you are shopping the Ford badge, and keep this Corsair page for Lincoln years that the 13454 card still lists.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Class 3 reality | 13454 is Class 3 with a two inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and ball mounts to that opening. Confirm ratings on the live hitch card. |
| Plug-in hybrid exclusion | The live card excludes plug-in hybrid Corsair and Escape. Read the door sticker before you order. Do not invent a PHEV hitch SKU here. |
| Shared Escape shelf | 13454 also lists Escape gas and hybrid years. Keep Escape on its own guide when that badge is on the door. |
| Wiring gap | We do not invent a Corsair-only four-flat when the shelf does not carry one that lists this badge. Open the wiring harness guide for Canada plug basics, then confirm any harness card year by year. |
| Receiver size | Two inch accessories fit this Class 3 tube. See the receiver size guide. |
| Door sticker | Hitch class is not the Lincoln tow limit. Read the door sticker and owner manual before you load tongue weight. See hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Install habits | The live hitch card notes about thirty minutes with a novice install. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
| Factory receiver | If the Corsair already has a factory hitch, open factory hitch keep or replace before you buy a second receiver. |
Year jumps we publish for the Corsair. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist.
These are the Lincoln Corsair hitch year pages we publish today. A 2024 lander is not published yet even though the live 13454 card can list that year, so confirm the product card when your door sticker says 2024. Confirm product-card years before you buy. We do not invent hitch SKUs or year pages that are not live.

Most Corsair hitch shoppers in Canada want a light cargo trailer, bike rack, or weekend gear trailer when the door sticker agrees. That is often a Class 3 conversation on a two inch tube, but the Lincoln tow limit on the door sticker still wins. Confirm tongue weight with tongue weight explained.
