Some Towing Info


RPGR90s

Recommended Posts

I have a 2019 Edge ST with 82k. It has the factory Class II hitch. We winter in SC (from southern MI) and this year I wanted to bring my motorcycle in a trailer. Rentals proved to be overly expensive so I picked up a 6x10 Cross enclosed trailer.

The trailer is 1350lbs, and my bike is 550lbs. Add in some tools and other stuff, its close to 2,000 lbs. Towing capacity is 3500 lbs.

 

The Edge performed great.

On the first leg of the trip, I left the trans in D mode and it felt sluggish as well as a first stop fuel mileage of 14.3.

I switched to Sport mode and the motor really comes to life with improved power and delayed shifts. This was especially useful in the mountains of southern Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia. I let the tranny shift automatically in Sport mode and mileage improved to about 16.

 

Overall, very happy with its performance.
