Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Edge

Question:

Im looking to buy a trailer hitch for my Ford Edge. Which manufacturer would you recommend as having the highest quality of hitch? I want one that wont rust like my last one. Thanks.

I would recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75992. This hitch has an e-coat base and is powder-coated on top of that for superior rust prevention over other hitches that only have powder-coating.

This hitch is also a Class III 2 inch hitch that will give you more towing capacities and accessory options than a 1-1/4 inch hitch.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118515. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
