The Ford Escape is a compact SUV built for daily errands, and a power tailgate makes those errands easier. Decoin's kit motorizes the Escape's rear hatch so it opens with a button press instead of a shove, freeing up your hands when they're already full. It's a straightforward upgrade that adds a genuinely premium touch to your Escape.
Decoin's Electric Tailgate Power Lift turns your Ford Escape's manual hatch into a motorized one, powered by a quiet motor that opens and closes without jerking or grinding. The result is a smooth, shock-free lift that feels like it should have shipped from the factory.
Safety is built into every Escape kit: sensors detect obstacles as the gate closes, pausing and reversing before anything â or anyone â gets pinched. A double bar support system, exceeding what the Escape's factory hinges offer, keeps the tailgate steady and evenly weighted at any opening angle.
Your Escape's own key fob operates the new power lift, so there's nothing extra to carry or program separately. Buttons near the driver's seat and on the tailgate panel give you a choice of how to trigger it, whether you're behind the wheel or standing at the back of the car.
If your Escape lives in a garage with limited headroom, the kit's memory function has you covered â set the gate to your preferred height once, hold the button, and that stop point is saved for next time.
Installing the kit on an Escape requires only basic hand tools, and a detailed manual (paper or electronic) walks through the process step by step, so it's a manageable weekend project for most owners.
The Escape kit includes automatic operation, gesture control, height adjustability, obstacle detection, memory function, one-touch operation, anti-pinch protection, hands-free and foot-activated opening, key fob remote, jam protection, and soft-close.
Does the Escape's power liftgate kit work with all trim levels? The kit is built around the Escape's factory tailgate geometry rather than trim-specific electronics, but always confirm your exact model year fits before ordering.
Will installing this void my Escape's warranty? The kit attaches through factory mounting points and the existing wiring harness without permanent body modification, but check with your dealer if you have concerns about warranty coverage.
How long does installation typically take? Most owners with basic tools and the included manual complete the install in a few hours in their own garage.
