Ford EscapeThe Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.
I have a 2008 Hybrid Escape with the back up sensors. I'm looking to install the tray style hitch mounted bike rack but I wasn't sure if they interfere with the back up sensors. I've heard they're not super easy to remove so I might just keep it on the vehicle, so this will always be a problem. Has anyone installed a bike rack on an escape with back up sensors? Is the tray hitch mount out of the question? How significant are the problems with other hitch mounted bike racks?
