Hi everyone. If you can read this it means you successfully navigated through all the ads for escorts and hotels. Congratulations!

This is my first post.. I imagine this is an easy question for some of you and I'm sorry if I can find the answer somewhere already or if this post should be somewhere else.

I want a tow hitch for my 2009 Mariner and I'm trying to get one at a junkyard because, well, they're expensive.
I am under the impression that a hitch from a 2008-2012 Escape or 2008-2011 Mariner will fit.

Is this true?

There are 2 hitch classes to choose from -- Class 3 has the 2-inch receiver opening -- Class 2 has the 1.25-inch receiver opening.
Don't monkey around -- get the 2-inch receiver !!
The years of the Mariner and Escape that you mentioned can accept the 2-inch hitch -- some modifications may be required, depending on your specific vehicle.
The CURT # 13650 is a Class 3 hitch -- 3,500 lb capacity.
Available at RockAuto.com. -- for about 135 dollars.
