HOW TO INSTALL AHITCH ON A 2008 FORD ESCAPE

I have a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. The best hitch is the one available at your Ford dealer parts department. You cannot install a generic hitch because this is a unitized body/frame car. The Ford hitch bolts right onto existing bolts. It took me only about 2 hours to do the job. You have to cut a small square hole in the plastic bumper for the hitch to stick out.

Buy one from Uhaul or another company or a used part from the salvage yard. You can get these cheap. They are premade to fit over existing holes in the frame. Should be 4 - 6 bolts.
