We definitely have what you are looking for! Based on the vehicle you inputted in our fit guide and the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75751, you are asking for a 2009 Ford Escape. If you just need tail light, running lights, and brake light functions, you need either the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118551 (if you do not have a factory tow package) or the # 118251 (if your vehicle has a factory tow package).
As with all towing applications, I recommend consulting with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your Escape can safely handle the weight you wish to tow.
