Expert Answers about Ford Edge


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Ford Edge Sport with Hands Free Liftgate
  • For your 2015 Ford Edge Sport the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75234 would be your best option. It has a hidden crosstube which means visibility of the hitch would be reduced and because it has also been tested to still allow the hands free lift gate to function. Draw Tite states: "Hands-free Liftgate sensor areas will be limited to areas away from the center where hitch receiver opening is located." So basically you just have to kick to either side of the hitch tube. For trailer wiring you...

  • How To Engage Surge Brake Lockout On Vehicle with 4-Way Trailer Connector
  • The best option I have to activate the reverse lockout feature on a boat trailer would be to first integrate the circuit into the trailer connector with the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # HM47910. Once this is done you can use the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter part # 20036. The blue wire will need to be spliced into the the reverse light circuit on the vehicle but in regards to the exact process or route I wouldn't have much on this as it varies...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with Vista Roof
  • We have a few different roof rack options that will fit your 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with the Vista roof and no side rails. For this, I recommend taking a look at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which is composed or part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK432. The Aero Crossbar system will produce less wind noise and drag so it is the more popular than square bar systems. I like Rhino-Rack because they have the same level of quality as the bigger brands like Yakima...

  • How to Pick Out Bearing Buddies for PWC Trailer
  • In order to pick out the correct bearing buddy you will need know the hub bore diameter of your hub. To do this, remove the wheel and tire and remove the grease cap from the center of the hub. Usually it is a metal cap that is just lightly hammered into place. Use a screwdriver to pry off the cap. Clean the grease off and measure the opening. I have included a video demonstrating the Bearing Buddy. The Bearing Buddies # BB1980A-SS are for hubs with a 1.98 inch hub bore.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2018 Ford Edge with Moonroof and without Factory Side Rails
  • For your 2018 Ford Edge without the factory side rails and a moonroof I recommend taking a look at the Yakima JetStream roof rack system. This consists of # Y00425 for the two 50 inch long JetStream Crossbars, # Y28TR for the BaseLine Towers, # Y06102 for the Front Fit Kit, and # Y06139 for the Rear Fit Kit. This is confirmed to fit the naked roof of your vehicle and will work just fine with the moonroof. It has a 165 pound weight capacity. I have attached the written installation instructions...

  • Can 3 Bikes Fit With No Cargo On 24X60 Curt Cargo Carrier
  • It may be possible to fit 3 bikes on the Curt 24x60 Cargo Carrier # C18152 but I have no way to confirm it since it is not what the cargo basket was designed for. In my mind the best chance of fitting would be to alternate the direction the bikes are facing and use ratchet straps # ETBMB-05852 to secure the bikes. The Curt # C18153 internal dimensions are 60-1/8" long x 23-3/4" wide x 5-1/2" deep, you can use the dimensions compared to the dimensions of your bikes to see if you will be...

  • How to Attach 7-Way Trailer Connector to 2014 Ford Edge
  • None of the trailer connector mounting options we offer are vehicle specific, so finding a way to attach the connector to the vehicle could involve some trial and error. If you have access to the hitch crosstube, you can use a mounting box like part # 18159. Another option would be a no-drill bracket like # C57202 attached to the crosstube, and then you would use a bracket like part # 18138 to attach the 7-way connector to the no-drill bracket. I have also seen instances where folks have...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Ford Edge Towing a Pop Up Camper
  • If the dry tongue weight of your pop-up camper is 358 lbs then most likely it would be even higher when loaded and ready to tow. The best recommendation I can make would be for you to upgrade to a hitch with more tongue weight capacity like the Curt Hitch part # C13067 as it can handle up to 400 lbs of tongue weight. You will also need to check the towing capacity of your vehicle in the owners manual as well and be sure not to exceed the lower of the two figures. For trailer wiring you...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with Tow Package
  • There isn't a quick-install brake controller port on a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with a tow package for installing a brake controller. In fact the only brake controller we offer that can fit the versions of the 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with the tow package and 7-way is the Prodigy RF part # TK94FR which is a wireless controller that mounts on the trailer. Let me know when you pick out the Edge and what trailer wiring it has at the rear of it and what brake controller you'd like to install...

  • Thule Aero Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Ford Edge with Panoramic Glass Roof
  • I checked with Thule and they have a roof rack that is a fit for your 2015 Ford Edge with a naked roof and panoramic glass Vista roof. For that you would need the fit kit part # TH145192, feet part # TH710501 and crossbars part # TH711420. This is an aero bar roof rack that will give you minimal wind noise and will affect your fuel mileage the least. You'll want to keep the roof closed though as the crossbars will make quite a bit of noise if the roof is open.

  • Does 50 Amp RV Need to Have 30 Amp Surge Protection Using 30 Amp Power
  • If you power your 50 amp service RV with 30 amp power you'll be fine as long as you are aware that your amperage is not lower than normal which means you won't be able to run as many electricity power accessories at any given time. The surge protector is for protecting the wiring of your RV though so there's no reason you'd have to go down to a 30 amp protector. Your RV can handle up to 50 amps so there's nothing that's going to harm it between 30 and 50.

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on 2008 Ford Edge with Aftermarket 7-Way
  • Since you have a 7-Way you will only need a few more components to complete a brake controller install on your vehicle. You already have a brake controller so that is one less thing you would need to get. Next, for a wiring kit to install the brake controller and the 7-way adapter you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from...

  • Recommended Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2016 Ford Edge Sport
  • We do have trailer hitch receivers that will fit your 2016 Ford Edge Sport. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C78KR which is a Class III receiver with a hidden crossbar so you will only see the receiver once installed to keep a factory appearance. In our experience we have also seen that the powder coat finish Curt uses holds up exceptionally well and is made in the USA. I included a video of the Draw-Tite # 75234 being installed on a 2016 Ford Edge since the Curt # C78KR will...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2015 Ford Edge SEL for a Bike Rack and Occasional Towing
  • The hitch that I recommend for your 2015 Ford Edge SEL for a bike rack and occasional light towing is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75214. This hitch is confirmed to fit the SEL model and has a bolt-on, no-drill installation. The main draw to this hitch is that it is a class III hitch which means it has a 2" hitch receiver opening. The benefit of this is that the 2" opening is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and ball mounts for...

  • Recommended Towing Package For Towing a Utility Trailer With a 2010 Ford Edge Sport
  • I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75686 on your 2010 Ford Edge Sport. I feel this one looks better than the etrailer # e98870 you found as the Draw-Tite has a hidden cross tube which will sit behind the rear fascia. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56329 will give you a 4-way flat connector. This is the most common connector used on small single axle utility trailers. Our Ball Mount Kit # 989892 will provide you with a ball mount having a 2-3/4"...

  • Recommended 7-way Connector For 2020 Ford Edge To Use Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller C51180
  • I would be happy to help! Since your 2020 Ford Edge already has a 4-way connector installed you will just need the # ETBC7L which was created specifically for the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180 you were wanting. This kit will plug in to your existing 4-way connector and just require you to run the black wire to the positive terminal of your battery with the included 40 amp circuit breaker, and ground the white wire to the frame of your vehicle.
