Is Any Fascia or Bumper Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2011 Ford Edge Sport
Question:
Will I need to trim the diffuser on my 2011 Ford Edge Sport for this to fit?

Expert Reply:
When installing Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75728 on a 2011 Ford Edge, there is no trimming of the rear fascia, bumper, or diffuser. You will only need to trim some heat shields under the vehicle in order for the hitch to fit properly. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 118515. I have included links to the installation details and a video showing installation for the wiring.
