What do I need to tow my 2007 Ford Edge 2WD?

I used to pull my HHR behind a gasoline MH using a Roadmaster towbar. Loved that rig,

Now planning to go to a used diesel pusher, and want to pull our automatic transmission 2WD Edge as a dinghy. A few years ago, I thought I had read that it could be used this way, but looking back at the some of the guides, I cannot get confirmation.

If anyone has done it, I'd sure appreciate your observations, recommendations, and precautions.

    The 2007 Ford Edge is not listed as towable in the 2007 FMCA towing guides.
    I have seen them towed, hopefully someone knows more.

    Your best bet is to read your owner's manual. I have towed a 2011 and 2013 Edge, both front two wheel drive, but that doesn't mean yours can be towed four wheels down.

    What transmission is in your Edge? If it is the continuously variable version, it can not be towed four down. We had a 2005 Freestyle with that transmission and traded it for a 2008 Taurus X with the six speed auto which is towable four down, The Edge and the Taurus X used the same drive train - your owners manual should have the information you need.

    It's the 6F50, not the CVT.

    Look it up on the REMCO website. There may be a transmission pump for it. If it can be towed without a lube pump, REMCO will say so.
    Good luck.
