Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

Yes, the 2005-2012 Ford Escape All, Including Hybrid Class 2 Hitch, 1-1/4" (Part #CHD-12060-001) is designed to fit the 2005-2012 Ford Escape.
The 2005-2012 Ford Escape All, Including Hybrid Class 2 Hitch, 1-1/4" (Part #CHD-12060-001) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, Curt part number 12060 is designed for the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner. The hitch is a receiver-style hitch with a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Curt 12060 is designed for use with ball mount #D-55001-55. Euro mount options are also available: #45571 (1-7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
The gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch is 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch includes: 6× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 carriage bolts (1-3/4" long), 6× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 hex nuts, 6× 1/2" conical tooth washers, 6× 0.250 × 1.00 × 3.00" square hole spacers, 1× 0.375 × 1.25 × 2.50" square hole spacer, and 2× 1/2" fishwire.
Required tools are: ratchet, 3/4" socket, torque wrench, and die grinder with carbide bit. The die grinder is needed because drilling may be required to create access holes in the frame rail.
Drilling may be required. If your vehicle has access to put the bolt and spacer into the frame rail from the end, no drilling is needed. Some vehicles have different tie-down hooks that allow access to frame rail ends. If access is not available, you may need to drill an access hole in the frame using a die grinder with carbide bit.
If your vehicle is equipped with an exhaust vibration dampener that interferes with the side plate, you will need to bend or pry the dampener away from the side plate as needed. This may require modification of the exhaust bracket.
1. Use fishwire to pull carriage bolts and square hole spacers through holes in the bottom of the frame rail (may require drilling an access hole). 2. Place spacer on passenger side bolt and raise hitch into position. Hand tighten the fasteners. 3. Fishwire the remaining fasteners into position and secure with conical tooth washers and hex nuts. 4. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
Non-trailer loads can be applied to this hitch only if they are supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and preserve the warranty.
