If so , what do I need to be able to use my ford edge this way , to be towed and to also tow the utility trailer . Thanks

What you can do is install Tow Ready trailer wiring harness # 118515 on your 2013 Ford Edge. You will basically be daisy chaining its connectors in line with the # HM56001 and vehicle wiring connectors. I spoke with our shop manager to verify that this will work and he said that it would!

Installation of the trailer wiring harness does require a direct connection to the vehicle battery (to power the trailer lights). I have included a link to a help article with tips on routing the power wire.
