Just had base plate and break-away installed at an RV shop that has a "specialist" who only installs base plates etc. Then they spent hours trying to install the Blue Ox wiring kit. This included time on the phone with Blue Ox all to no avail, it seems you cannot install a wiring it on a 2018 Edge SEL, only the Sport and Titanium.
Original quote was 8-12 hours at $125 an hour - final price was over $1800 and no wiring (and they said they didn't charge me for all the time spent on it). Also supposedly the instructions for the Blue Ox base plate were not that good and caused extra work (?????).
Now they still have to fix the ambient air sensor and adjust the hood they screwed up.
Lesson learned - I installed the base plates on my previous two toad myself but DW convinced me I was getting too old to do it.
So shop around and I'm now convinced that a body shop would do a better job.
