2024 Hitch Wiring

[ldruth61]

I plan to install a new trailer hitch on my 2024 Edge SE. I see aftermarket wiring harnesses that look like a nightmare to install. Do these edges come with a standard wiring harness with hitch wire plug, that can just be plugged into with a ford wiring harness for a hitch?

Thanks

I ordered my 2024 ST with the tow package. I would think you could somehow find out the components, maybe even part numbers for the plug assy. I would guess there is a plug somewhere tucked in to plug the harness into. Try to avoid aftermarket unless you have no choice.

I wired up my 2020 SEL AWD  pretty easy. I think that the hardest parts were popping the taillights off, getting the bolts through the frame rails & getting the power wire for the trailer lights through the tire well. On a scale of 1-10 it was ~4. Probably would have been easier if I had a helper, but wasn't terrible. 

 

I installed the Curt Class 3 hitch & curt trailer harness. I believe that both were purchased from HomeDepot.com as they were the cheapest at the time the downside to the aftermarket hitch is that it sits ~3-4 inches lower than the factory location & if you had the kick to open the hatch feature, it doesn't work as good, unless you buy the kick sensors meant for the Edge's with the factory towing package.

The Edges with the factory tow package use a trailer tow module that controls trailer sway and the trailer lights.
