According to Thule, their Gateway Trunk Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # TH88VR is a fit for your 2013 Ford Edge.

The trunk mounted rack I recommend the most is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. Instead of fumbling around with the 6 nylon straps and buckles each time you install or remove the rack, the OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the 4-6 cables that other racks use. This feature allows the rack to be installed or removed in a matter of seconds. The rack can lock to the vehicle, and features an integrated locking cable to secure the rearmost bike to the rack (which prevents the other bike from being removed as well).

If you'll be carrying women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes, you should consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The adapter bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, providing a level attachment point for the bike rack which will improve ground clearance.

I've linked to some product demonstration videos you might find helpful.
