Expert Reply:
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 do NOT have the titanium model, along with a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
