I don't have a bumper pull Escape but do have that same thought every time I see one with the factory box.

Kudos on your 'plumb-ing' wedge, much better to my eye!

With a coat of paint I don't think it makes too much difference.

Thanks, I didn't know if it was wood product of a nylon/plastic or rubber.

I'm not sure if the new box molded by a third party still leans forward. I'll know in a couple of months when my friend picks up his 17B.

A side benefit of this mod gave me space to install an easy access storage tube for several misc. aluminum poles that I carry with me.
