2015 Edge Tow Package

Hey y'all, Great Group!!!! I have what I hope is a quick question. My 2015 Edge did not come with a factory tow hitch. I know I can order one which I Intend on doing as soon as I figure out a solution to this. The bumper cover on mine does not have a cutout for a hitch receiver. Does anyone know where I can order/get the factory cover with a receiver hole? I know theyake one, just trying to avoid high dealer prices. Thanks in advance!!!

Just get a hidden hitch for $180. It sits below the bumper, doesn't interfere with the lift gate kick sensor and the cross bar is not visible. The factory option is at least $1K if not more. I can post a pic if necessary.

 

I know some people are really determined to get the full oem look - but what akirby suggests here is a good option. I did this and have been happy with the result. I do not have huge towing needs for my vehicle - bike racks and small lawn tractor trailers really. So for me this is a perfect option.

 

That said - it is not the oem look because the receiver does protrude below the rear bumper valence - rather than integrate through it as the oem look does. In function - this has only really meant (to me) that I've had to flip my ball mounts from drops to rises so the trailer can sit level.

 

The only other thing about the hidden hitch that I would add is that as akirby says - technically it does still allow the rear liftgate sensor to work - it does block the sensor in the middle under the receiver. You have to teach yourself where to kick - rather than being able to kick anywhere in the general vicinity of the rear bumper.
