We can help you with a hitch and wiring harness for your 2013 Ford Edge.
We have both 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitches, all shown on the linked page, that are confirmed to fit the Sport and non-Sport versions of the 2013 Edge. I suggest a 2-inch hitch for its higher capacity and broader compatibility with hitch-mount accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. The larger hitches usually cost around the same as the Class II models so its an easy call. Use part # 75728 if your Edge is the Sport version or part # 75992 if it is not.
Hitches include all required mounting hardware and complete instructions. Install videos for both hitches are linked too to show you the entire process.
For either Edge version you can use 4-pole wiring harness kit # 118515, installation of which you can see in the other linked video. An installation help article is included for this item as well. This kit will give your Edge a flat 4-pole type connector to deliver lighting signals to a trailer.
You may also be interested in our Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which includes two hitch balls, two ball mounts and a pin and clip, all together in a handy tote bag. If you need towing mirrors I suggest the universal-fit # KS3990 from K-Source.
