st222 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 has any1 installed there own hitch and wiring on there 11 or newer edge? I just called the dealer to price 1 and they said 250 for hitch and 103 for wiring. They said installing the hitch looked pretty easy, 4 bolts but they werent sure on wiring. So i was just curious if any of u already went thru this and did it yourself.....thanks scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I did a hitch...well two, but didn't do the wiring. I think the OEM is only 1 1/4" and being that your interests are motocross I assume you'll be towing a trailer so you'll want a 2". If you go aftermarket do yourself a favor and take a look at your exhaust first. The first one I bought ended up contacting the exhaust cans on occasion and drove us nuts. But I did see some said they had yet a different version of exhaust so you may be OK. If you are one of the lucky ones I still have my original hitch I'd sell cheap. We liked it better than the one we have now since all you saw was the reciever...too bad it hit our cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggy Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I had the factory towing package installed on my 2011. All the specs said it would be a Class II (1 1/4") receiver, but it turned out to be a Class III (2") receiver that was installed. I just checked the Ford website, and they are still saying it's a Class II they install. Hey - I'm not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kman66 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I installed a DrawTite Class III hitch on my 2011 Limited. Easy install and looks good. I bought it and the T- Connector wiring harness from etrailers.com. The wiring was not too bad. I only have the 4-pin connector for now, but will soon upgrade to a 7-pin. Just a little more wiring. So far one 12g wire run from the battery thru a fuse to the rear controller box supplied with the harness. Interior panels come off easy to run thru the rocker panel.
