Hi guys, I am new here and looking to get a new 2011 Edge base model.
I have a boat that is about 1900 pounds with the trailer that i need to tow.
The problem is that base model has no option to install a towing package (bigger rad, Engine Oil cooler and upgraded cooling fans, as per brochure). To install this package I need to go one model up to SEL which is about 5g's.
So the question is, would I be ok with just an aftermarket hitch or i need to go one level up?
To me it seems like ford is just trying to upsell. I am not sure if the bigger fans, bigger rad and oil cooler make such a huge deal.
Thanks in advance for your opinions
Oleg
