Ford Edge SEL 2016 with Rear Door Sensor Trailer Hitch Recommendation
Question:
What hitch model can I use if my car is equipped with rear door automatic door opening sensor
asked by: JD G
Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Ford Edge SEL the Draw-Tite part # 75234 has been confirmed as a fit and would work with the automatic rear door sensor. You just would be limited to the areas on either side of the hitch for activating the sensors.
If you wanted to do 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out 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 then want the part # 118669.
