• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• 2015 Ford Edge Sport Hitch, Which is Less Visible Curt C13234 vs. Draw-Tight 75234
  We don't have the drawings you are looking for, but if you check out the pictures I attached you will see that both the Draw Tite part # 75234 and the Curt # C13234 do not extend out past the rear bumper at all. Since you prefer the hidden cross tube the Draw Tite will be the hitch to go with. There isn't a version without the lower safety chain loops though.

• 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.

• Bike Rack Recommendations For 2018 Ford Edge SEL
  I recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount part # SA803 for the 2018 Ford Edge SEL. It fits all models of the Ford Edge and carries 3 bikes. The Saris Bones is a great option because of it's anti-sway cradles that secure the bikes to the rack. It also features adjustable arms so there is less of a need for a bike frame adapter bar on women's and children's bikes. While I do think the Saris Bones trunk mounted rack is a great option for you, however if you...

• 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.

• Troubleshooting Hands Free Liftgate Sensor on 2015 Ford Edge
  The hands free liftgate on your 2015 Ford Edge has sensors that can be adjusted on your vehicle to better see movement of your foot. The sensor sees movement so a more obvious movement may not require the moving of the sensors for the hands free option to work more often. The Sensor is shaped like a moustache and can be adjusted to better see around your trailer hitch receiver # C13234.

• Best Hitch Size For Bike Rack on 2020 Ford Edge
  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...

  The Curt # C13900 is a universal multi-fit trailer hitch receiver so it may fit your 2017 Ford Edge.

• 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...

• Which Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Ford Edge has the Best Ground Clearance
  Curt trailer hitch # C13234 and Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75214, which is the comparable hitch, have the receiver and cross tube in basically the same place so they will have nearly identical ground clearances once installed. If anything the Draw-Tite hitch is a bit tighter to the bottom fascia. The bottoms of the hitches will be approximately 1-1/2 inches or so lower than the bottoms of the exhaust tips. If you are looking at Draw-Tite hitch # 75234 only the receiver will be visible....
