After market trailer hitch

Recommended Posts

I purchased my Edge while in Laurel, Maryland on a trip from South Carolina two weeks ago. I did not have time for the dealer to add a trailer hitch. Does anyone have options as to what I should do?

 

Basically, I wish to pull a small jon boat and occasional other small trailers.

I'd check with the dealer, in that, the factory "tow package" comes with the hitch, oil cooler, larger radiator, upgraded cooling fan and bigger battery. Like most things, depending upon the total load, you might be OK with installing a hitch and oil/transmission cooler...BUT...any warranty related mishaps probably would be a problem given the non-factory installation.

 

I would install the hitch, if you can find someone to "custom" or if dealer could provide. It doesn't sound like your "loads" would be a problem for the Edge. If your "trips" are relatively short and load is below the total 3500 lbs limit you should be fine. Just watch the temp gauges from time to time.

 

That's my $0.02 worth.
