Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Ford Edge SEL

Question:

I am planning on purchasing a hitch for my 2017 Ford Edge SEL. Ive decided on the Draw-Tite model. My questions is regarding wiring. I plan to us the hitch primarily for a bike rack. However, later I may pull a small sailboat which would require lighting on the trailer. Can I do the wiring later? Or should I do it at the same time as the hitch?

Trailer hitch and wiring installs are totally separate so if you don't need wiring yet for your 2017 Ford Edge there really isn't anything to gain by waiting to install it later. Since we have special shipping deals on orders over a certain amount though I would recommend ordering the wiring now so that you don't have to pay to have it shipped later if that's something you'd be interested in.

Since we have the best luck with the Tekonsha brand trailer wiring harnesses I would recommend the part # 118669 as it will be the most reliable for you. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
