Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2012 Ford Escape  

Since the trailer hitch #36501 with a 1-1/4" receiver mounts the same as the etrailer #e56AR with the 2" receiver on your 2005 Mazda Tribute it will fit with an OEM 1-1/4" receiver but there really wouldn't be an advantage of using…

To attach the Roadmaster StowMaster 5000 tow bar to your 2009 Mercury Mariner you will need the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part #4406-1. These base plates will install on your Mariner and once the drawbars are removed, the remaining brackets are…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

There is only one difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e98909 that fit your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, which is the finish. The Curt trailer hitch has a glossy black finish while the etrailer…

Hello Chris. For your 2012 Ford Escape I recommend the Curt Class 3 Hitch #13650. This hitch has a 2" receiver which is standard and will give you a ton of options for a bike rack. My personal favorite bike rack is the Kuat NV 2.0 #BA22B. This…

Curt recommends the use of 250 ft/lbs of torque when tightening the nuts of their hitch balls with a 1 inch diameter shank like the part #C40034 that you referenced. The general rule is for a 3/4" shank tighten to 150 ft/lbs For a 1" shank…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Based on your measurements it matches our Fulton 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler #FE443050303 which looks to be the same as what is on the 2024 Intech Sol Horizon from the videos I could find. So this would use either the EZ Latch #DM14793-81 or…

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…
