Question:
Hi. I have a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium. Plan on flat towing the vehicle and looking for which harness to use. Can you recommend one that will work?

For your 2018 Ford Edge Titanium I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56011. This is the only custom harness available for your vehicle that will let you install the wiring as a true "plug-and-play" application so you don't have to splice into factory wiring at all. It will plug right into existing ports located behind the rear tail lights and includes a 4-Way connector that you will mount to the front of the Edge. The integrated diodes also prevent any feedback from the RV to ensure safe operation.
I have attached an installation video on the 2017 Ford Edge that you can use for reference.
Also note that the battery on your Ford Edge needs to be disconnected for flat towing (you can check your owner's manual to be sure). To help simplify this process I recommend adding the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect # RM-766. This will let you easily disconnect the battery with the flip of a switch from inside the vehicle. I have again attached an installation video that you can check out.
