I have spoken with many FEH Owners or Purchasers who have a need for a hitch, not just for towing up to 1,000 lbs., but also as a mount for their bicycle, electric cart, or cargo box. I was able to get such a 2 x 2 inch hitch.

Ford Motor Company is working on a solution now that their engineers seem to agree that the unmodified hitches for the regular Escape will not fit. This modification will take from 3-6 months to reach the market.

I want to bring to your attention the Da'Lan (Curt Manufacturing Co. of Wisconsin) Class 2.5 Hitch we were able to modify for the market, and is not available to all.
I am not affiliated at all with this company but they helped me so I want to pass on their name. Hitch-Web.Com is on the internet and you can contact them at their site with your questions about their product.

I would like to hear from others about their own solution to the problem of having a vehicle with the ability to tow but not the means. I think a SUV without a hitch is like a bull without horns.
