Trailer hitches can bend and flex a little in the shipping process and that is likely what has occurred with the hitch you received, # 75214. This hitch is indeed a fit for the 2015 to 2018 Ford Edge SE, SEL, and Titanium.
The hitch can be flexed back into position relatively easily. I have included a link to our help article that covers exactly this issue and how to correct it. view full answer...
The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT will be able to transport your bikes safely, but over time there very well could be some damage to your spoiler. This is actually a common footnote for trunk mount racks and is why the manufacturers recommend taking the rack off when not in use. Because of this we try to steer people into using a hitch or roof mount option so that the spoiler will be just fine for years to come.

To carry any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would), which in this case would be your wife's bike, I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry her bike more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works. view full answer...
The warranty information page doesn't specify use of the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050 because it doesn't apply to all of the hitches that Curt manufactures. Curt typically lists this information in the installation instructions pdf for the products that it directly refers to like the 2010 Ford Edge Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2", # C13067. I've attached the link to the installation instructions pdf and you'll see that recommendation in a red box in the upper right... view full answer...
Typically when a 7 way is installed initially on a tow vehicle the reverse light circuit is on the center pin. When you're installing the Roadmaster Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75 you're going to want to install it on the center pin where the reverse light circuit previously was- you'll want to cut that wire completely off and wire in the new wiring directly. view full answer...
The controller install kit, part # ETBC7 will not void your warranty. If your trailer does not have reverse lights, you will not need to splice into any factory wiring.
I have included a link below to an install of part # ETBC7 on a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. Not the same vehicle, but it will walk you through the steps. It should be pretty similar on your Edge. I will briefly outline the procedure below.
Since you have your 4-Way installed and working properly, you can start wiring your... view full answer...
Installation of the Draw-Tite # 75234 Class III hitch on your 2019 Ford Edge will block a portion of where the sensors can 'see', but the liftgate will still function. Usually on the Ford vehicles, the areas about 3-6 inches to the right and left of the receiver tube over to the corners of the vehicle will still work just fine.
I do know that some vehicle manufacturers like Honda offer relocation brackets for the liftgate sensors, but I have not been able to find anything for the 2019... view full answer...
You will need to uninstall the factory 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver from your 2010 Ford Edge. If it is a bolt-on installation then you will simply need to remove the bolts and take it off. If it has been welded on, you will need to hire a professional welder to cut the welds for you before installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75992.
Once the OEM hitch receiver is out of the way you will be able to install the Draw-Tite hitch receiver.

The owner's manual for the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 does indeed state that when using this dolly with a front wheel drive (FWD) vehicle, you will need to place the transmission in PARK, not NEUTRAL. The reason for this is because the front wheels need to be secured on the ramp and not moving back and forth as the motorhome brakes and accelerates. The rear wheels will still be able to spin freely while in park so long as the emergency brake is not applied. view full answer...
Yes, I can confirm that the correct wire that you need is the light blue/white wire coming out of the brown plug on the BCM (see photo). You may already be aware of this, but the BCM is located behind the passenger side dash. We used this wire a few weeks ago for a customer who wanted a brake controller on their Express Van, and it worked great.
Before making any connections, it is always a good idea to test the wire using a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to ensure you have the... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact in the technical service department at Curt, who confirms that the installation procedure mentioned in the instructions is indeed correct. Removal of that center section really is necessary in order to tuck the hitch back up behind the bumper.
I'm told that it might be possible to trim the center panel/heat shield so that it fits around the hitch, but once that's done very little of the panel would actually remain. The primary function of this panel is the heat... view full answer...
I reached out to Roadmaster, who told me when installing the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 in your 2014 Ford Edge Limited with push-button start. This is what they told me:
"You want a designated line for the relay. The load demand on the charge line is limited, so stay with the using the tail light circuit." view full answer...
The reason the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C56329 has a power wire is to protect the delicate tail light wiring circuits of your vehicle from being overloaded. The Curt Trailer Harness # C56329 that you referenced uses your tail light circuits as signal wires and then draws the power to illuminate the tail lights of your trailer directly from your vehicle battery through the battery wire of the box.

The Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars that are designed to fit your 2019 Ford Edge are the 54" Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 (along with the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK432).
For the 54" bars your strip length measurement is 150mm. If you're going to be using longer crossbars than what Rhino-Rack calls for then you'll need to adjust the strip length accordingly. Essentially you'll just want to make sure the crossbars are centered on the 2500 Series Legs.

There are a set of installation instructions included with the Curt Custom Wiring Harness, # C56120. I have also attached a link to the instructions for you to check out. The instructions even include photos of the installation process.
To install this wiring harness on your 2013 Ford Edge, you will need to gain access to the back of the tail light assemblies. This is done by removing two bolts that hold the tail lights in place. Once you remove the tail light assembly, you will see a... view full answer...
The instructions for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75234 for the 2017 Ford Edge state "for Edge Sport and MKX AWD model, remove (6) bolts and (1) flange nut attached on center plastic panel with heat shields, see Figure 3, and then remove the panel. Return to owner." See instructions linked for reference.
This means that on the affected models the heat shield would not be reinstalled. The hitch itself can act as a heat sink though so nothing is really lost with the removal. I have linked a... view full answer...
Ford recommends that when flat towing the 2010 Ford Edge to start the engine at the beginning of each day as well as at all fuel stops and allow the engine to run for five minutes. If this recommendation is followed there shouldn't be a need to install a battery charger when flat towing your Edge and using the BrakeBuddy system. view full answer...
If you check out the install video I attached (at the 1:00 mark), you can see our installer using a length of air tube fed down to the interior of a 2012 Ford Edge like yours so that he could then attach the wire connectors of the # 118515 to it and then pull it back up.
Using this method will make installing the harness possible on your vehicle. view full answer...
For your 2016 Ford Edge the Draw Tite hitch part # 75234 is a confirmed fit that would work well for you. Draw Tite test this hitch on your exact vehicle and determined it to be a fit. This is a 2 inch hitch as well.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118377.
