Recommended Items Needed To Flat-Tow 2015 Ford Edge Titanium
Question:
2015 Ford Edge Titanium will be used as a dingy. It has digital tail lights so regular wiring package will not work. Any suggestions?

Expert Reply:
When flat-towing your 2015 Edge, the tow bar wiring you need is part # RM-154. My contact at Roadmaster verified it will be what you need with the LED lights.
There are 5 items needed when flat-towing a vehicle. You will need the base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and most states now require a supplemental brake system.
In case you do not have the items needed I will make recommendations that will work well for your Edge.
The base plates I recommend are part # RM-524454-4.
The tow bar I recommend that will work well with the base plates is part # RM-520.
For safety cables I recommend part # RM-643. The lighting mentioned above is part # RM-154.
For a supplemental brake system I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, part # RM-8700. When installing the system you will need the Stop Light Switch, part # RM-751475. this switch alerts you whenever the brake pedal on your Edge is applied.
