Question:

What's the best way to set up my 2023 Ford Edge to tow a uhaul trailer? I doubt I use this hitch much if ever again but I really don't want one I have to see sticking out below my SUV? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The best hitch for a 2023 Ford Edge is going to be the etrailer item # e36RR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ford Edge with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.

I really like this hitch because the crosstube installs completely behind the rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible so you won't have to worry about it hanging down or seeing much of it.

Uhaul trailer's require 4-way connectors. There are two options for your vehicle depending on what model you have and both are custom fit. I have listed them below:

Titanium - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C73FR

SEL or SE - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C89FR

To round out your towing setup, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
