There is a hitch available for your 2023 Ford Edge. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13234. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and features a bolt-on installation. It has a max gross trailer weight of 4,000 lbs and comes with a lifetime warranty.

For wiring, the most reliable option is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118805. The T-connector plugs into existing wiring so no cutting or splicing is required. Once installed, you will have a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.

In order to complete your setup you will also need a ball mount. Check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. This kit has two ball mounts, one with a 3/4" rise or 2" drop and the other with a 2-3/4" rise or 4" drop. It also comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" ball, as well as a ball mount bag to store everything in.
