  • Towing Capacity for a 2014 Ford Edge Limited with Tow Package
  • I looked up the towing capabilities of your 2014 Ford Edge Limited and if you have the 2.0L with the EcoBoost your towing capacity is 1,500 lbs but if you have the 3.5L V6 your towing capacity is 3,500 lbs. Either way you will need to look for a lighter camper to tow as the dry weight of 4,639 lbs is well over both weight ratings. According to the online version of the owner's manual (page 238) for any trailer weighing over 1,500 lbs you need to use a brake controller. I recommend using...

  • Which Draw-Tite Class III Hitch Offers Most Ground Clearance on 2015 Ford Edge Titanium
  • Aftermarket trailer hitch installation will typically block the center sensor of a vehicle lift gate system but does not affect the others, so usually all that needs to happen is you swing your foot near the outer sensors rather than the central one. There is no difference between the two Draw-Tite hitches in this regard. The actual height above ground of an installed hitch depends on a number of things: passenger load, cargo load, wheel and tire size, tire tread depth and inflation pressure....

  • Is Trailer Hitch Towing Capacity Same Capacity as Vehicle Weight it Can Flat Tow
  • If your trailer hitch says it has a 5,000 lb weight capacity then you can flat tow a vehicle up to 5,000 lbs. You'd want to confirm the weight of the car you are wanting to flat tow and be sure it's under 5,000 lbs.

  • Why Can't I Find a Higher Capacity Hitch for 2011 Ford Edge
  • After taking a look at the owner's manual for a 2011 Ford Edge, I found that the largest trailer that could be towed with this vehicle would be one weighing 3,500 lbs and this is only for the AWD 3.5L Class II (lower capacities are listed for the others). The highest capacity hitch that is offered for the Edge is one with a 4,000 lb towing capacity like the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13067. 4,000 lbs already exceeds the vehicle's towing capacity so this is why manufacturers do not offer an...

  • Weight Capacity of Roof on 2017 Ford Edge SEL for Use With Rooftop Tent
  • The aftermarket roof racks made for your 2017 Ford Edge will have a weight capacity based on the vehicle's own limit. All roof racks that fit the 2017 Ford Edge with flush-mounted roof side rails are shown on the linked page and all have a maximum load capacity of 165-lbs. Rooftop tents typically include a ladder or support posts that carry some of their weight. This depends on the specific tent design. The Yakima SkyRise HD 2-Person Tent # Y07436 can be used with a vehicle having a 165-lb...

  • Draw-Tite or etrailer? Which Hitch is Better for a 2018 Ford Edge SEL
  • Yes, both the etrailer item # e36RR and the Draw-Tite item # 75234 hitches conceal the crossbar behind the bumper of your 2018 Ford Edge SEL. All you will see once installed is the 2" receiver and the safety chain loops. Both hitches are confirmed to fit your vehicle and have identical capacities of 4,500 lbs for towing and 675 lbs maximum tongue weights. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e36RR because of its flat matte black finish over the glossy Draw-Tite item # 75234 and the etrailer...

  • Trailer Hitch with Highest Tongue Weight Capacity for a 2009 Ford Edge
  • The hitches for your 2009 Ford Edge that offer the highest tongue weight, such as # 75992, are rated for 400 pounds tongue weight. However, what matters is the lowest rated component in the system and in this case it is the vehicle. At most it is rated for 350 pounds tongue weight if it has the optional towing package. With the standard towing package it is rated for 200 pounds tongue weight.

  • Can Weight Distribution Be Used on 2015 Ford Edge with Class III Hitch
  • Yes, as long as your towing setup keeps your total loaded trailer weight within the limits of both the truck itself and the hitch that is installed on it you can use a weight distribution system so long as the hitch's safety sticker says it is approved for use with WD. The Class III hitches we offer for your 2015 Ford Edge include both models that are rated for use with WD, such as Draw-Tite # 75234, and ones that are NOT rated for this application, such as Curt # C13234. All 2-inch hitches...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2017 Ford Edge SEL
  • You are correct. Now that you have LED's you will need two separate wiring harnesses for flat towing and trailer lights. Unless you want to run removable magnet lights like Item # RM-2120 from your RV over your Edge SEL you are going to want the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit item # RM38FR. This kit is the only one available for the 2017 Edge SEL and it includes everything you need to control your vehicles lights from your RV. The best hitch for your Edge is going...

  • What is the Height Difference Between ST22575R15 Load Range D and Load Range E Tires
  • The ST255/75R15 digits actually refer to the external dimensions of the tires. Since your Goodyear Marathon tires have the same size as these Karrier ST225/75R15 # AM10303 they will have the same section width of 8.9" and overall diameter of 28.4". The 1/2" difference you saw in height from the load range C to load range D tires could have simply been the difference in how much air pressure they had at the time or even the tread wear. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Do All of the Hitches for a 2020 Ford Edge Require Moving the Exhaust?
  • All of the hitches for a 2020 Ford Edge require the exhaust to be lowered. It sounds more complicated than it really is. You have to disconnect the rubber hangers that hold the exhaust up to get behind them and install the hitch. The muffler and tail pipes just hang down a few inches while you're doing this. You don't ever remove them from your vehicle. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e36RR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2020 Ford Edge with included hardware. This is...

  • Is Hitch Height On Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch # C13067 Same As Factory Hitch On 2011 Ford Edge SEL
  • When the Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13067, is installed on a 2011 Ford Edge SEL the hitch receiver opening is located right under the rear fascia. If your vehicle has the factory 1-1/4 inch hitch on it the Curt hitch will fit right beneath the factory hitch. The recommended Curt Ball Mount, part # C45010, has a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop. If you use the ball mount with the 3/4 inch rise it will put you close to the factory hitch height. You will want to measure the difference...

  • What is the Best Hitch for a 2023 Ford Edge?
  • The best hitch for a 2023 Ford Edge is going to be the etrailer item # e36RR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ford Edge with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like this hitch because the crosstube installs completely behind the rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible so you won't have to worry about it hanging down or seeing much of it. Uhaul trailer's require 4-way connectors. There are two options for your vehicle...

  • Do I Have to Remove the Bumper Cover When Installing a Hitch on a 2023 Ford Edge?
  • No, it does not. The Curt Hitch item # C78KR does not require you to remove your rear bumper cover when installing it on a 2023 Ford Edge. It bolts to the bottom of the frame and the crosstube is concealed behind the bumper cover. I have an alternate suggestion for a hitch. Instead of the Curt item # C78KR, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e36RR. These hitches are identical with the exception of cost and the paint finish. The item # e36RR is our house brand hitch but it is made by...

  • Recommended Base Plate for a 2014 Ford Edge
  • The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX2628 that fits your 2014 Ford Edge works with the models with or without the Adaptive Cruise Control feature. I have linked an installation below to help you get it set up.
