Max tow weight is 3,500 lbs (Class II), but even the EcoBoost (turbo) 4 cylinder is rated for that ! The Trailer Towing Option comes with a 2" receiver and a 4 wire trailer harness.
Sadly, the 2.7L EcoBoost 6 cylinder, which has lots of power, is NOT rated for towing. Probably because it comes with ridiculous 20" wheels and extremely low profile tires and they did not want to design a larger radiator and transmission cooler. Plus they really want yo to move up to a Flex or Explorer.
Depends on the year. We ordered my wife's 2013 Edge and the 2.0 liter Ecoboost is rated to tow 2,000 lbs. But the factory tow package wasn't available as an option on the 4 cyl ecoboost. That being said, I've not towed anything with it, we just use the Explorer.
