went in a 2020 edge, perfect fit, easy install.

Said would take an hour. Or 1/2 hour if a pro. Consider myself a decent mechanic. Will lake an hour or less if you have done it before. And even less time if you have a lift.

Took me 2 hours to install.

  • Will a Trailer Hitch Interfere with Hands Free Liftgate on a 2018 Ford Edge
    The class III trailer hitch receiver I recommend for your 2018 Ford Edge is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13234 which is a direct fit that installs using pre-existing holes in the frame rail. The hands free liftgate sensor will be limited to areas directly away from the receiver tube. This means that it will still work but you will want to position your foot to either side of the receiver tube in order to activate the rear hatch release. I have attached an install video on...

  • Replacement Hardware Kit for a Curt Hitch C13234
    For the installation hardware for the Curt Hitch item # C13234 you will want the Replacement Hardware Kit item # RHK. This will include the correct grade bolts, spacers, nuts, and fish wire tool needed to install this hitch on your Ford Edge. You will want to go to the right hand side of the product page and above where it says add to cart you will see a box that is labeled Hitch Item Number. In this box you'll need to put C13234. I have linked the instructions for the Curt item # C13234...

  • Does Heat Shield On 2021 Ford Edge Need To Be Removed To Install Curt Trailer Hitch C13234?
    You do not need to remove the exhaust heat shield on your 2021 Ford Edge to install the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13234 you were looking at. With that said you will need so cut a section of the underbody trim panel so that the hitch will fit correctly, and you can see Clayton trim this panel at the 5:45 minute mark of the included video. If you will be towing a trailer with your Edge you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # 118806 if you have a titanium model, or the # 118805 if you...

  • Why Do Some Curt Trailer Hitches Require Use of a Stabilization Strap for Bike Racks/Cargo Carriers
    That is an excellent question; one that we have often wondered. Curt believes that the use of a stabilization strap reduces stress put on a trailer hitch when using said hitch for non-trailer loads. The thing is that this requirement is on some but not all hitches, regardless of what Class they are, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to the ones that have the requirement and those that do not. If it were me I would go with Draw-Tite hitch # 75234 since it does not require the...

  • Trailer Hitch and Twistep Pet Step for 2015 Ford Edge Titanium with Hands Free Liftgate
    The Curt Hitch part # C13234 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ford Edge Titanium and will still allow you to use the hands-free liftgate but the sensor will be somewhat limited. We had a customer come back and send us a picture (attached) that shows where they were able to move their foot and have the sensor activate the liftgate. We actually carry the Twistep part # HE3052 as well!

  • Why Does My Handsfree Liftgate No Longer Work After Installing Receiver And 4-Way on 2015 Ford Edge?
    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56292 may be blocking the sensor for the handsfree liftgate on your 2015 Ford Edge or the wiring is causing interference. We have installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13234 on a similar 2015 Ford Edge and tested the handsfree liftgate to still function properly. I have linked our installation video below that shows this. I recommend dropping the rear fascia and temporarily moving the wiring away from the handsfree sensor. Be sure...

  • Difference Between Curt Hitches C78KR and 13234 that Fit 2018 Ford Edge
    The difference you mentioned is the key difference between the hitches you referenced for your 2018 Ford Edge. The # C13234 is a much more visible option than the # C78KR which only has the hitch opening visible below the rear bumper. The # C78KR also has a higher towing capacity so it's the hitch I would recommend for your 2018 Ford Edge.

  • Is Trimming the Side Panels Required for the Curt Hitch C13234 On a 2019 Ford Edge
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13234 is a great option for a 2019 Ford Edge. In regards to trimming, this is only very minor and would not create any issue on the vehicle. The side panels will need to be trimmed slightly as the hitch actually mounts to a spot on the frame where they are partially secured. I cannot recommend you sandwich the side panel between the hitch and frame or between the frame and hardware. Therefore, yes this is absolutely necessary but very minor. I took...

  • How to Activate Hands-Free Liftgate on a 2016 Edge Sport With Curt # C13234 Installed
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13234 should still allow you to activate the hands-free liftgate as it has been tested. In the attached video of this trailer hitch on a 2015 Ford Edge you can see our installer activating the liftgate by passing his foot under the trailer hitch but typically what we see is that you have to use a kicking motion as if you are kicking a ball. I have attached a photo showing the best locations to try activating a liftgate when a trailer hitch is installed...

    Yes, we have three trailer hitch receiver options for your 2017 Ford Edge with the Sport package part # 75234, part # C13234, and part # C12140. I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13234 as this hitch will not require near as much effort to install in comparison to the similar Draw-Tite hitch receiver. It is a Class III hitch receiver with a 2" opening. This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Ford Edge's frame with no welding required. Depending on...

  • Do Draw-Tite Hitch Receivers for 2015 Ford Edge SEL Require Support Strap Like the Curt Hitch
    The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75214 that fits your 2015 Ford Edge SEL does not require the support strap, part # 18050, like the Curt Receiver # C13234 does. The strap is required per Curt's warranty when carrying any non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier. The other Draw-Tite # 75234 for the Edge SEL doesn't require the strap either. This hitch has a more hidden look since all you see when installed is the receiver tube and the safety chain loops.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Ford Edge Sport With Hidden Crosstube
    When the Curt hitch part # C13234 is installed on your 2015 Ford Edge Sport it will have a visible crosstube like in the picture I attached. If you wanted a hitch that doesn't have a visible crosstube you would instead want the part # 75234 which has also been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.

  • Best Hitch for BackRoad Driving and Ground Clearance
    Two good recommendations for a hitch for backroading with your 2017 Ford Edge SE are the Draw-Tite # 75234 and the Curt # C13234. The Curt hitch # C13234 has the most clearance among the 2" hitches with 13" from the top of the receiver tube to the ground. It has a capacity of 600 lbs for tongue weight and 4,000 lbs for towing. Curt recommends you use a stabilizing strap like # 18050 with non-trailer accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. The Draw-Tite hitch # 75234 measures...

  • Can Tekonsha Prodigy P3 90195 Be Installed On 2018 Ford Edge Titanium?
    A traditional trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 can absolutely be installed in your 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with the Class II Tow package. From the information we have on your vehicle, no models came with a factory 7-way connector. Since you have the tow package it should have a 4-way connector installed from the factory. You can convert that to a 7-way connector using the # ETBC7 kit. This will plug in directly to your 4-way connector and just require the...

Most install so that there is about 5-inches of space from the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the bumper cover. The Swagman G10 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64682 also has 5-inches of clearance when it is empty and folded up so this rack may touch the bumper cover.

  • Best Hitch Size for 2018 Ford Edge
    Any time a vehicle has both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches available for it we tend to recommend the larger 2-inch size. There are several good reasons. Typically there is not much increase in cost, but there is usually a substantial increase in weight capacity. For example, the 1-1/4-inch hitches like Curt # C12140 usually have a tongue weight (TW) rating of no more than 350-lbs, but the 2-inch Class III hitches like Draw-Tite # 75234 and Curt # C13234 have TW ratings that are roughly...

  • Will Trailer Hitch from 2017 Ford Edge Fit 2021 Model
    The 2017 and 2021 Ford Edge are of the same generation, so the hitch fits for both vehicles would be the same. The Curt # C13234 Class III hitch you'd looked at will fit both vehicles. The hitch manufacturers don't list fits for the 2022 model Edge as of yet, but from what I've found online there aren't any appreciable changes to the 2022 model that would have any effect on the hitch fits, so they should carry over to the 2022 model as well. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll...

    It sounds like you are trying to decide between the Curt Class II Round Receiver hitch part # C12140 and the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13234. I recommend the Curt Class III 2" C13234 receiver because it is more versatile in the long run. There a lot more accessory options like bike racks and cargo carriers that fit a 2" receiver. If you decide to tow a small trailer in the future the 2" is a better option as well. If you need a bike rack, I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0...
