So for the OP, make sure you confirm that your Edge is able to be towed in the configuration that you're looking at. Information can be misread or wrong so be sure to thoroughly check different sources. There are methods out there to modify vehicles so they can be towed 4 down as well.

but the only "valid" source is the owner's manual.

"valid" for what? There are many of us successfully 4-down towing vehicles that the manufacturer says can't be, without "invalidating" anything.

valid for keeping your manufacturer's warranty if you happen to have transmission trouble. if one already has the vehicle and it is past warranty, go ahead and gamble. if you are buying a new vehicle to tow, you are silly/rash/foolhardy to buy something that the mfr. wasn't warrant it as towable.
if you have trouble and have only relied on some third party as a source of "its towable", good luck suing them when things go South.
