What does the Edge owner's manual say about dolly towing. Most AWD cars cannot be dolly towed, but some can be towed four wheels down.
Thor's Vegas is built on Ford's E-450 bare chassis with the 6.8L V-10. This is usually rated 22,000 pounds GCWR, the motorhome is not likely over 15,000 pounds loaded, leaving about 7,000 pounds of chassis capacity for towing, enough for an Edge.
But what the Vegas motorhome can tow depends on what Thor has done with respect to modifying the frame and attaching a hitch receiver. Thor will have their own tow rating. 3500 and 5000 pounds are common. 3500 is not enough for a SUV as heavy as the Edge, 5000 could be marginal if the car is loaded with cargo. Hitch receivers with higher ratings are available for the E-450 chassis.
