Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Ford Edge Sport and Bike Rack
Question:
What trailer hitch would you recommend for a 2018 Ford Edge? Its the sport model and I am looking to use it with my bike rack.

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75234 for your 2018 Ford Edge Sport to carry your bike rack.
This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is a fit for the Sport model of Edge.
If your bike rack has a 1-1/4" shank then the trailer hitch you need is the Curt # C12140 which is also a fit for your '18 Edge Sport. The Curt is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver and with this hitch Curt does recommend using Stabilizing Straps # 18050 with all accessories such as your bike rack.
I have added a link to a video you can check out which will display exactly how the stabilizing straps are used.
