Recommended Tow Dolly for 2018 Ford Edge FWD or Flat Tow System for AWD
Updated 06/30/2020 | Published 03/04/2019
Question:
Can a 2018 Ford Edge be flat towed or does it need dolly
asked by: Michael S
Expert Reply:
A 2018 Ford Edge with 2.7L EcoBoost or 3.5L can be flat towed. You cannot flat tow the 2.0L Ecoboost but you can dolly tow it. The manufacturer recommend dolly towing all FWD vehicles and flat towing AWD vehicles but in either case they recommend not exceeding 65 mph.
If you choose to use a tow dolly, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045. This system uses disc brakes and a surge brake coupler. It does not require adding a brake controller to your motorhome. This system will give you better stopping power using disc brakes and it has the nice folding option to give you more storage space.
If you have an AWD vehicle, I need more information to get you the correct fits. Do you have a Titanium, SE, SEL, or Sport? Do you have Active Cruise Control? Let me know that info and I'd be happy to help with all the various components needed. I've linked an article to help with the overview.

If the vehicle weight is 5200 lbs. how can you recommend a dolly weight under that at 4800lbs?
