Expert Answers about Ford Edge


  • Comparing The Roadmaster EZ4 And Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plates For 2017 Ford Edge
  • Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-524454-4 is a very similar system to the EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-524444-5 which are both a confirmed fit for 2015-2017 Ford Edge SE and SEL models. The difference is the EZ5 has the streamlined design that removes the need for the quick-disconnect crossbar. This baseplate will not work with the Sterling Cables, so the cables need to be attached to the frame of the vehicle. The EZ5 although much cleaner and more hidden...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Ford Edge with Panoramic Sunroof and Flush Side Rails
  • For the best appearance, low-noise and long-term durability I recommend an aluminum aero-style roof rack. This type will be lighter than a steel bar rack, naturally non-corrosive and quieter in operation; and for this, I highly recommend going with Yakima for overall durability, noise reduction and ease of use. The Yakima rack that fits your 2017 Ford Edge with panoramic glass and flush side rails consists of parts # Y00428, # Y79AR, and # Y64AR.

  • Do I Get A Receiver With an Exposed Cross Tube Or Hidden On My 2018 Ford Edge SEL?
  • With the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75234 having the hidden cross tube receiver, it will require the removal of the center panel with the heat shields attached on your 2018 Ford Edge. There is no major concerns with the gravel being stuck up there as it will still be able to fall out. You may run into issues during the snow and ice as it can collect in that area and with salt would cause the rust to develop more quickly if not cleaned out frequently. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame...

  • 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.

  • Comparing Tekonsha and Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Trailer Wiring for a 2007 Ford Edge
  • If I were choosing between the Tekonsha harness, # 118551 and the Curt wiring harness, # C56329 for a 2007 Ford Edge, I would go for the 118551. Tekonsha has been in the wiring business longer, they have great support, and they work well if you take care of them (make sure to keep the 4-Way clean, store it in the vehicle when not in use, stay within the amperage limits). The Curt harness will work, it is not an inferior product, it is just that Tow Ready has more of a pedigree than Curt....

  • Comparing Curt and Swagman 4-Bike Platform Bike Racks for a 2008 Ford Edge
  • Curt is new to bike racks. Swagman has been making them for many, many years. So you can imagine where Curt might have drawn their inspiration from! Swagman makes a good rack for sure but with that said the simple design is hard to mess up so honestly I think you would be happy going with either rack. If the Curt bike rack, # C18087, is more within your budget then I am sure you will like it and that it will work well for you. However, one of the biggest differences is the warranty for...

  • Trailer Hitch Comparison For 2014 Ford Edge Or 2014 Ford Edge Sport
  • I did some research to find out what the difference is between the 2014 Ford Edge and the Edge Sport, and why there were different hitches available. They told me that the exhaust on the Sport model sits a bit lower than the other models, so they have manufactured hitches to accommodate the difference. If you have a Sport model Edge I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch, part # 75728. This is a Class lll hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. If you do not have the Sport...

  • Differences Beteween Curt Class III Trailer Hitch C13234 and C13224 for a 2015 Ford Edge SEL
  • The Curt Class III hitch, part C13224 is being replaced by the # C13234. Both hitches have the same stability and towing capacity, but the # C13234 fits ALL models of the 2015 Edge, while the C13224 fits all models with the exception of the Sport model. Curt is replacing the C13224 because fit-wise, the C13234 is more versatile and it makes more sense to have one hitch application that fits all models of a given vehicle. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll likely...

  • Best Looking Hitch for a 2018 Ford Edge Sport
  • We do have another option for a hitch on your 2018 Ford Edge Sport. It is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" item # e36RR. This has a sturdier matte finish that is rust resistant. It doesn't have the glossy finish like the Draw-Tite item # 75234 you referenced. It has a concealed cross tube which means the only visible portion of the hitch will be the 2" x 2" receiver and safety chains. This the most subtle option we have for hitches on...

  • Comparing Installation of Class III Trailer Hitches for 2017 Ford Edge SEL
  • The three 2-inch Class III trailer hitches available for your 2017 Ford Edge SEL, shown on the linked page, do not differ much in their installation processes, but one among them, Draw-Tite # 75234, will offer a more discrete appearance since it has a concealed cross tube while the others have a cross tube that will remain visible after installation. This particular hitch also offer slightly higher weight capacities than the others. None of the hitches requires you to do any drilling but...

  • Comparison Between Curt C78KR and Draw-Tite 75234 Class III Hitches for 2020 Ford Edge
  • The price differential between the Draw-Tite # 75234 and the Curt # C78KR is basically a function of supply and demand and the current market price. The Curt hitch is a US made product, and has a higher demand right now which would explain why they're hard to keep in stock. As far as appearance, capacity, installation difficulty and quality goes, I'd place both hitches on the same level. Both hitches are well-constructed by companies that have a great reputation in the towing industry....

  • What are the Differences Between Yakima HalfBack and Yakima FullBack Trunk-Mount Bike Racks
  • The Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack # Y02634 is a good bike rack that comes with security options integrated in the rack. It comes with an integrated steel-reinforced strap which stores inside your vehicle to protect it from theft, as well as an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack. The Fullback can carry two 35 lb bikes, since you're right at or just below 35 lbs this rack will work for you. The only thing you may need is Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 if your female bike...

  • What Is the Difference Between the Curt Hitch and the Draw-Tite Hitch on a 2010 Ford Edge
  • Both the Curt Hitch # C13067 and the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75992 are custom fit hitches that are designed to be mounted on to your 2010 Ford Edge. Both hitches are Class III rated and have the 2 inch opening at the hitch. Both the Curt and Draw-Tite Hitches have a gross trailer weight rating of 4,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 400 lbs. Both the Curt and Draw-Tite Hitch have limited life lifetime warranties. Of these two, I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch over the Curt for two reasons....

  • RV Fans 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) Household Fans Typically 120 V AC (Alternating Current)
  • The Way Interglobal RV ceiling fans such as model # 324-000053 are 12 volt DC ceiling fans instead of household 120 V AC. Outside of the operation of electric motor being DC instead of AC the housings and fan blades are frequently the same.

  • Quality, Cost-Effective Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Ford Edge
  • The Yakima round crossbar system is decent but sometimes it can be hard to mount accessories and get them to stay still, plus they don't help with wind noise and drag. For your application I recommend checking out the Yakima CoreBar roof rack because it has the nice aero-style crossbars but sits at a lower price-point since these aren't the high-end aluminum bars. Here are the parts you'll need for the naked roof of your 2016 Ford Edge: 60" CoreBar Crossbars - # Y00422 BaseLine Towers...

  • Comparing Roadmaster RM-154 and Blue Ox BX8848 Flat Towing Diode Kits
  • The Roadmaster hardwired diode kit # RM-154 for flat towing a car will not differ much from a similar kit from another maker, such as Blue Ox kit # BX8848. But since the Roadmaster kit includes a protective wire loom and has been highly-rated by many more users, I would opt for the Roadmaster kit # RM-154. I linked a series of helpful articles concerning tow bar wiring options as well as installation videos for both kits.

  • Difference In Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harnesses For a 2020 Ford Edge Titanium and Other Trims
  • The tail light connectors are different on the 2020 Ford Edge Titanium from the other trims. You can see in the images I put below that the tabs off the connectors are in different places. The Curt T-Connector # C73FR for the Titanium has black connectors with the tabs at the corners. While the Tekonsha T-One # 118805 for other trims has tan connectors and the one tab is right next to the latching tab.

  • Difference Between Curt 4-Way Wiring that Fits 2019 Ford Edge Titanium and Tekonsha for Non-Titanium
  • Since the difference between the 2019 Ford Edge Titanium and the other models is that the Titanium comes with LED taillights Tekonsha had to make a different kit with a different converter box that accommodates the difference in lighting. This is why the # C73FR fits the Titanium and the # 118805 fits the other models. Both of these are easy to install though. I attached an install video for the kit that fits your vehicle for you to check out as well.

  • Easiest Trailer Wiring Harness to Install on a 2017 Ford Edge Sport
  • The Tekonsha Wiring Harness # 118677 is a T-connector that plugs into the wiring of your 2017 Ford Edge Sport behind both tail lights. It's a direct plug and play so there's no splicing or wire cutting necessary and will be a lot easier than a hardwire option. I've linked an install video on a 2015 Ford Edge which will be the same as on yours. If you also need a ball mount the Curt # C45036 is a great option because it includes the hitch ball and pin and clip. It's a 2 inch hitch ball...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver to Tow a Trailer with a 2012 Ford Edge
  • We carry 2 trailer hitch receivers to fit your 2012 Ford Edge; the Curt part # C13067 and the Draw-Tite part # 75728. Between them I prefer the Draw-Tite simply for aesthetics. With the Curt hitch you can see the entire crosstube on the Edge but the Draw-Tite only shows the receiver tube opening. Take a look at the pictures I've attached. For wiring to power the trailer's lights use part # 118515. It plugs in behind the tail lights and has a power wire that runs to the Edge's battery....
