Question:

Can I flat tow a 2019 Ford Edge with 8 speed auto transmission

asked by: Lew B

Expert Reply:

From what I have found, the 2019 Ford Edge with the 8 speed automatic transmission is the ST with the 2.7L engine. If you have the 2.0L then you will not be able to flat tow your vehicle and would need a dolly like the # RM-2050-1. If you have the ST model then you will be able to flat tow this vehicle as long as you keep it under 65 mph. Make sure to consult your owner's manual to confirm this information and follow any instructions listed for recreational towing. For flat towing the 2019 Ford Edge ST you will need the following:

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-524460-5

Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights - RV Mount - 8K # RM-676

Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267

Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766

Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751475
