According to my research, the ReadyBrute Elite Tow Bar would have came with clevis connectors to attach to either a Roadmaster or Blue-Ox tow bar. If your tow bar came with the Roadmaster clevis connectors (857768004296) then they will attach directly to the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-524444-5 which is a fit for your 2016 Ford Edge.

However, if your tow bar came with the Blue-Ox clevis connectors (857768004265) then you will need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-524454-4 with the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter part # RM-032 instead. The Roadmaster clevis connectors (857768004296) have 3/4" pins whereas the Blue-Ox clevis connectors (857768004265) have 1/2" pins.
