Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2020 Ford Edge ST
Question:
I have a 2020 Ford Edge ST that I will be flat towing. I am looking for a wiring harness to use with it that I will not have to splice into the wires. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Expert Reply:
To avoid splicing into your 2020 Ford Edge ST's wiring you'll have to use magnetic lights. I recommend the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK.
If you don't already have a tow bar, base plate, braking system, and safety cables then I have the following recommendations for you:
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,500lbs Item # BX7380. This tow bar has a non-binding feature that makes connecting and disconnecting on any terrain super easy.
Base Plate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # BX2677. This base plate has removable arms that provide a clean and unobtrusive look when not in use.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39524. This system offers intense, emergency braking or steady, smooth braking in a single portable system. Easily switch between proportional or full braking from your RV using the remote. The included charge line kit will keep your vehicle's battery charged while towing.
Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs # RM-643. The coiled design will help prevent the cables from dragging on the ground and being damaged.
