I would be happy to help. To control a trailer's brakes with your 2019 Ford Edge Titanium you're going to need a 7-way connector and a brake controller. There isn't one harness made specifically that will do this so you will need two separate wiring harnesses.

The first harness you will need is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C73FR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Edge's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector that will control your trailer's lights.

The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it.

For a brake controller, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Edge. The Liberty has a unique installation method where the main unit is concealed behind your dash and the only part visible is the control knob.

You will need the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers item # RED69FR to complete the installation, since your Edge does not have the tow package.

Listed below are some other parts you will need to pull a trailer with your Edge:

Hitch - etrailer Hitch item # e36RR

Ball Mount Kit - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534

No Drill Mounting Bracket - No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket item # 18140
