Question about the hitch curt class 3 Ford Edge 2008 code C13067. I want to know if this hitch adapted for my Ford Edge 2008 can receive the weight distribution for a trailer of 3200 pounds. Thank you,

The towing capacities of the Curt Class III hitch part # C13067 that you referenced are 4,000 lbs total trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight. Your 3,200 lb trailer would fall under the capacity of the hitch so it would work just fine. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well

You should note that this hitch is not rated for use with a weight distribution system. If you are unsure what a weight distribution system I attached a help article that covers them as well. You also will need to check the towing capacity of your vehicle to make sure it also has the capacity needed for your trailer.

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 # C56329 which is also a confirmed fit.
