Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2011 Ford Edge Sport for Bike Rack Compatibility

Question:

Hey which hitch do you recommend for a 2011 Ford Edge sport? All we will be using it for is a 4-bike hitch mount rack. Thanks!

For your 2011 Ford Edge Sport, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13067. This will work well with a 4 bike hitch mounted rack as long as you have more than 5-1/4 inches of clearance between the center of the hitch pin hole on your bike rack and the closest part of the rack. This trailer hitch is recessed 5-1/4 inches from the outermost part of the bumper to the center of the hitch pin hole on the receiver. I've attached a video to assist.

The Draw-Tite # 75728 only has a recess of 5 inches, but is closer to the ground so it does restrict your ground clearance. I've also attached this video to assist.

If you don't already have a 4 bike rack and want recommendations to fit, let me know.
