Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2018 Ford Edge Titanium

Question

Question:

Hi, I need to wire a 7-way to my 2018 ford edge. What products do you recommend? I would ideally like to find a hitch / wiring combo that the 7way can mount to the hitch for the cleanest possible install. 2018 Ford Edge Titanium AWD.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118677.

So the easiest to install brake controller that also works really well is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once you sync it to your phone it's ready to go. This brake controller is proportional which means it senses the amount of deceleration your tow vehicle is applying and applies the trailer brakes in a relative way.

To convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller only requires the 7-way adapter kit part # ETBC7L. The 4-way of this plugs into the 4-way of your vehicle and once you run the included wiring and breaker up to the vehicle's positive battery post it's active enough to allow the Echo to function. This saves you from having to hardwire in a brake controller which requires tapping into the brake signal of your vehicle and running a few other wires too.

There isn't a quick-install brake controller port on a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with a tow package for installing a brake controller. In fact the only brake controller we offer that can fit the versions of the 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with the tow…

Answer 5

The best brake controller option to go with is one that activates the brakes proportionally instead of time delayed. A proportional brake controller will activate the trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as the tow vehicle…

Yes, you are due to the power draw from the trailer. The dedicated 12v line that comes with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item #C56343 pulls power from your Ford's battery to operate the lighting functions on your trailer. This…

For your 2018 Ford Edge (Sport or non-Sport) the best hitch based on what you want is the Draw Tite part #75234. This hitch has a concealed crosstube which means only the hitch opening would hang down below the rear bumper. Check out the picture I…

Answer 10

We have a set of running boards that fit your 2007 Lincoln Navigator but the Rampage set you mentioned does not fit. Instead you'd want the Aries Automotive Nerf Bars #AA95DQ which have been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.

Answer 11

The only thing I was able to find out is that you need the Class II tow package installed on your 2017 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost to achieve the 3,500 lb towing capacity. I tried researching what this tow package includes but it seems like Ford just…

The only way you'd be able to utilize and factory trailer wiring on your 2018 Ford Edge would be to contact a Ford dealer as we do not have anything for that setup. We have trailer wiring that will fit and work well on your Titanium but it…
