  • Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Ford Edge
  • Your 2015 Ford Edge with factory tow package 4-pole wiring does NOT have an integrated trailer brake controller.

And you are correct that the 2015 Edge is the first year of the second generation of this vehicle so it is indeed different from earlier years. Brake controller installation on your 2015 Edge will be a hard-wired type requiring installation kit # ETBC7 along with the controller, such...

  • Need Spacer Block to Install Used Trailer Hitch on 2008 Ford Edge
  • We don't have the exact spacer block that would've been included with the # C13067 hitch but the # RP3022 comes very close. The block is a little narrower, and the hole is centered rather than being on one end. This means that the block may try to spin once the bolt is being tightened. If this happens, use an impact wrench. The impact wrench will spin fast enough to prevent the block from spinning. It might take a minute or so, but the bolt will tighten. You'd also need a few bolt leaders,...
