Towing a Ford Edge

Does anyone have any experience towing a Ford Edge? I know they are towable 4 wheels down, but how do they pull? Know of any problems with them?
Thank you
  • Towing a 2012 since new. Probably towed it over 20K miles.

    Ours is keyless with all the bells and whistles. It is battery hungry so a good charge line is a must for me. I have a separate charge line. The umbilical cord is just too light weight and unreliable for me. I had it fail one too many times.

    You must be extremely careful when picking out the Edge you wish to tow. NOT ALL are towable four down or at all.

    Ours is FWD with the large V6.

    The Edge is a very quiet and responsive vehicle. It is a bit of a hot rod in street clothes.

    The huge skylight is a waste of money for me and mine will not allow the addition of a roof rack which I sorely miss. But I digress.

    Get the adaptive cruise control for sure. I wish the rv had it.
  • We just started pulling one a few months ago, a 2016. On this year you have to put it in neutral, push the stop button and disconnect the battery. We have always pulled a Jeep Wrangler and thought there would be a difference, but I have to say I can't honestly feel any, just like the Wrangler most of the time you can't tell it's back there.
  • We have a 2008 Edge that we have towed four wheels down for ten years with absolutely no issues. Tracks great behind our Dynasty. We just turn off all the electronics, put it in neutral, release the parking brake and turn the ignition key all the way back to off. Never had a problem with a dead battery either. Ours is all wheel drive.
