Fit nicely on my 2020 Ford Edge. So far, used it for cargo carrier for beach vacation. Very happy with it!

@Lori Awesome, we're glad to hear that your Curt # C13234 hitch is working well for you!


by:
2022 Ford Edge

Installed hitch. The washers and bolts were bigger than the feeder hole could take. Was able to increase the size of the hole to fit the washers and bolts. Everything else was fine. This is the forth hitch I have installed. Just disappointed that the washers and bolts were not designed for the feeder hole on this car model. The bolt pattern was perfect.



by:

This was a perfect fit for my 2018 Ford edge. Only had to make a couple minor cuts in the plastic mounding underneath. All the steps are easily explained in the video to make the job simple as possible. This is a very solid well built hitch and I highly recommend it!!

Nice hitch receiver a couple of scuffs but in all good product still haven’t got to tow with it yet tho installation was simple

Etrailer Expert

Katrina D.

Well, that is great that it was simple! That's what we strive for! And when you get the chance to use it, we would love some pictures and stories! Also, for the scuffs, I highly recommend covering any exposed metal with some Rust-o-leum type of paint.



by:

This hitch is well made. My boyfriend installed it on my vehicle. There were oy 4 feed wires for 6 bolts. Highly recommend that each bolt have a feed wire. One of the bolts got "lost" and he had a hard time retrieving it. We did watch YouTube videos on how to install before beginning the process. That was a big help. It took more than the half hour to an hour. If you have a lift, it would probably go faster. It probably took about 2 hours.

Its attached to the car. Lol. It worked great when we went to Outer Banks last year. Without it, I dont think our son would have been able to go with us. We had a lot stuff to pack.



by:
2016 Ford Edge

Arrived on time as per order however the package was damaged with the "ears" of the receiver dented (I had to spray on some primer and black paint to cover. Not a big deal as they are hidden but still).

Receiver is very sturdy and well made. With the 6 bolts, I feel it will hold well a small trailer and easily a bike rack.
Note that the bolts need to be torqued at 110 lbs-ft. You'll need a deep 3/4 socket drive and may need an extension (5" worked for me) and a joint-adapter to reach.

Overall, the instructions video is great. I recommend using a utility knife to trim the panels with a quick run on sanding paper for a "perfect" look. There is no other alteration to the car and the fit is great.

Installation took about 2 hours.

I give it 4 stars instead of five due to the damage and the fact they only provide 4 fishing wires for 6 bolts (need to be a little extra careful).



by:
2018 Ford Edge

Very nice hitch. Nice finish and good fit to my car. Foot release still works pretty well. My only issue was the box was pretty torn up in shipping and the hitch arrived with minor scratches.



by:
2015 Ford Edge

I consider myself a pretty good do-it-yourselfer and get immense satisfaction out of the challenge. The Curt class 3 installation DIY video really helps! Video shows Ford Edge on a lift, but on the ground (no jacking or lifting needed) where everything is accessible. Don't forget to have a good 1" adjustable strap to hold exhaust low enough to fit Curt trailer hitch between dual exhaust outlets. Use a little floor jack in the middle to balance and adjust to a desired height (note: cover area with cardboard where trailer hitch meets jack). I finished the trailer hitch in a little over 1-1/2 hours.



by:

This hitch receiver fit our 2015 Ford Edge Sport perfectly! I installed the required trailer wiring kit myself, but had our mechanic install the hitch itself. While noted in the item description, you do need to remove the bezels around the exhaust exit on both sides. The plastic underside body panel on each side needs to be modified, but the dimensions shown on the install instructions not accurate for a precise fit (use 3” x 7” instead). Quality is excellent with perfect welds and gloss black paint.



by:

Right off the bat the customer service was phenomenal! I received an email when my order was placed and when my order was shipped. When it arrived I received another email confirming my receipt. Installation was a breeze! There was a video attached to the email with my order that was step-by-step on my exact year, make and model. When I opened the box, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I needed to make this installation seamless came with it! I have never been so pleased with purchasing and installing a trailer hitch. This should be everyone's one-stop shop for trailer hitch and accessory needs!



by:
2015 Ford Edge

I looked at the different hitches available for my 2015 Ford Edge Sel and decided on the Curt C13234 because you are able to reinstall the heat shield that attaches to the rear bumper skin. This hitch was fairly straight forward to install. The video helps considerably. I plan to use the hitch for a bike rack. I am always happy with the service and product line up that etrailer offers.



by:
2016 Ford Edge

After several attempts I am able to get the hands free liftgate feature to work. Nowhere as easily as before unfortunately. I've found that it only works if you actually contact the tow hitch (at three specific points noted in the attachment) directly with the top of your foot. Fairly slowly of course. You don't want to accidentally hit your shin bone. What I don't know is if all Edge Sports will respond the same.



by:

Fast service,excellent product, everything I hoped it would be. If ever I need another hitch for anything I'll order again.



by:

Installation was as described. Pictures were very helpfull a d all hardware was included. Have pulled my utility trailer several times.



by:

My neighbor and I installed hitch in about an hour, a bit of a learning curve, it really helps to watch the video. great looking hitch.



by:
2020 Ford Edge

Hitch looks and feels great! No 5 star because because it would be better to have 6 fish strings for the bolts and also more like a 8 for difficulty to install. The video helped a lot but when it came to where to fish things through the video was way to vague.



by:

fit my car exactly as is no modifications need. Has not rusted and still in great shape, like I just installed the hitch. A little difficult feeding the bolts through for install. Other than that great product.

Great hitch for the Ford Edge. Bolts right on! I watched a YouTube video as I installed it. The video made installation a lot easier.



by:
2021 Ford Edge

Just received it last night and it was still in the box when delivered but the box had seen better days. I have no idea why they destroy the boxes.



by:

The hitch fit well and the instructions were thorough.



by:
2015 Ford Edge

Great quality product. Got the hitch for a 2015 Edge Sport. Installed myself watching their videos on YouTube. Also comes with detailed instructions. Great fit n finish.



by:

Made by Curt, a leader in the industry. Great price. Packed in heavy cardboard with all the mounting hardware at a great price. All of this and an instructional video available that is model and trim level specific, is the cherry on top.

Dan

11/21/2022

Very solid. No rattles. Only addition I made was ordering the corresponding sensors from Ford for kick entry of the liftgate. They are different when a hitch covers part of the current sensors. Runs about $XX each one upper, one lower. It will work without this but you get some errors and frustration if you dont change them. Or you can try moving, adjusting position but that was touch and go, for me..



by:

Very pleased with this product. Installation was pretty simple. I did it by myself but would recommend having some help. Spent about two hours on installation.



by:

Product is as described. Only complaint is it only comes with 4 fishing wires… 6 would make the installation much more streamlined.



by:
2017 Ford Edge

THIS IS THE SECOND HITCH I HAVE PURCHASED - BOTH WERE INSTALLED BY MYSELF ON A 2008 FORD EDGE AND THIS ONE GOING ON A 2017 FORD EDGE. FAIRLY EASY TO INSTALL.
THE SHIPPING IS ALWAYS FAST WITH ETRAILER.

  • Troubleshooting Hands Free Liftgate Sensor on 2015 Ford Edge
    The hands free liftgate on your 2015 Ford Edge has sensors that can be adjusted on your vehicle to better see movement of your foot. The sensor sees movement so a more obvious movement may not require the moving of the sensors for the hands free option to work more often. The Sensor is shaped like a moustache and can be adjusted to better see around your trailer hitch receiver # C13234.

  • Is Trimming the Side Panels Required for the Curt Hitch C13234 On a 2019 Ford Edge
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13234 is a great option for a 2019 Ford Edge. In regards to trimming, this is only very minor and would not create any issue on the vehicle. The side panels will need to be trimmed slightly as the hitch actually mounts to a spot on the frame where they are partially secured. I cannot recommend you sandwich the side panel between the hitch and frame or between the frame and hardware. Therefore, yes this is absolutely necessary but very minor. I took...

  • How to Activate Hands-Free Liftgate on a 2016 Edge Sport With Curt # C13234 Installed
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13234 should still allow you to activate the hands-free liftgate as it has been tested. In the attached video of this trailer hitch on a 2015 Ford Edge you can see our installer activating the liftgate by passing his foot under the trailer hitch but typically what we see is that you have to use a kicking motion as if you are kicking a ball. I have attached a photo showing the best locations to try activating a liftgate when a trailer hitch is installed...

The hands free liftgate sensor will be limited to areas directly away from the receiver tube. This means that it will still work but you will want to position your foot to either side of the receiver tube in order to activate the rear hatch release. I have attached an install video on...

  • 2015 Ford Edge Sport Hitch, Which is Less Visible Curt C13234 vs. Draw-Tight 75234
    We don't have the drawings you are looking for, but if you check out the pictures I attached you will see that both the Draw Tite part # 75234 and the Curt # C13234 do not extend out past the rear bumper at all. Since you prefer the hidden cross tube the Draw Tite will be the hitch to go with. There isn't a version without the lower safety chain loops though.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Edge Sport without Visible Crosstube
    When you install the Curt hitch onto your 2015 Ford Edge Sport you will either need to remove or trim the lower appearance panel to complete the install. The crosstube will be visible like what is shown in the install picture I attached. If you wanted a hitch that doesn't have a visible crosstube you would instead want the part # 75234 which has also been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.

    That is an excellent question; one that we have often wondered. Curt believes that the use of a stabilization strap reduces stress put on a trailer hitch when using said hitch for non-trailer loads. The thing is that this requirement is on some but not all hitches, regardless of what Class they are, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to the ones that have the requirement and those that do not.
