Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Ball Mount Recommendation for 2019 Ford Escape
Question:
Hi. I am purchasing a pop up trailer and need a hitch and ball to attach to my vehicle. I have a 2019 white Ford Escape. There are so many options and I know nothing about cars/trailers and am wondering what items work best together for my need. Also, do pop ups need to have electrical connections For break lights? If so, do I need to buy something else for that? Thanks for your help

We have everything you'll need to tow your pop up with your 2019 Ford Escape. You need a hitch like the Class III # e98866 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle, has plenty of towing capacity, and is mostly hidden as well. You will need trailer wiring as well to activate the blinkers, turn signals, and running lights of your vehicle as well which we offer that as # 118802. I attached install videos for both of these on similar Ford Escapes.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
