Do All of the Hitches for a 2020 Ford Edge Require Moving the Exhaust?
Question:
is there a 2 hitch for a 2020 Ford Edge that does not require the exhaust to be removed?

Expert Reply:
All of the hitches for a 2020 Ford Edge require the exhaust to be lowered. It sounds more complicated than it really is. You have to disconnect the rubber hangers that hold the exhaust up to get behind them and install the hitch. The muffler and tail pipes just hang down a few inches while you're doing this. You don't ever remove them from your vehicle.
I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e36RR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2020 Ford Edge with included hardware. This is the most concealed hitch available for your Ford. The main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see the process for getting this hitch installed. It shows all of the exhaust lowering steps and I recommend watching the video to see if this is something you are comfortable installing yourself.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C89FR for the SE and SEL models or item # C73FR for the Titanium and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
