Saris does not recommend their Bones 3 bike carrier, part # SA801BL, for your 2013 Ford Edge. I also checked the etrailer FitGuide and again this particular carrier is not considered a good fit for your Edge. Vehicles like yours with a roofline spoiler pose a challenge to fitting many conventional bike racks. But with the bad news out of the way we do have plenty of excellent trunk-mount carrier options for you!

The link at right will show you all confirmed fits for 3-bike trunk racks for the 2013 Edge. My recommendation is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This unique carrier is designed expressly for vehicles with spoilers and it uses an arched frame construction that neatly avoids putting pressure on your delicate spoiler.

With this rack you might consider a cable lock to secure your bikes, such as the # e98891. If you'll be transporting bikes for women or kids, or any that lacks a horizontal top frame tube, you might benefit from using a bike adapter bar like the Hollywood Racks # HRBA-PRO. This mounts between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier arms. This helps keep such bikes level on the rack to maintain safe ground clearance.
