Anyone tow anything behind a Ford Edge ?
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 2.7...

There sure is a load of misinformation in here. Where to start...
I owned a 2008 Highlander and towed with it for 140,000 of its 185,000 total miles. It did NOT have a truck frame; the Highlander is a unibody.
Unibody vehicles are plenty capable of towing. Jeep Grand Cherokee, for example, has a 7200 lb tow rating with optional V8, and it has been a unibody for years and years.
That said, I agree that the 350 lb. hitch weight limit will be a huge factor. Figure on towing less than 3000 lbs max, so you don't exceed hitch weight, and keep trailer length under 18' or thereabout. A 13'-16' Scamp or Casita would be a good match. I had a KZ Escape E14RB for a few years and that could work too, as long as one traveled with an empty fresh water tank (it was up front).
