Here is a contradiction for you:
Take a look at this FORD Media web site : Item 2

I also found this:
Dingy Tow Compatibility Allows for Ease in Flat Towing
Customers who wish to flat tow their vehicles behind a motor home or camper have been limited to 4x4 vehicles that feature a transfer case with a neutral setting. The 6F features a unique technology that allows for flat towing without adversely affecting the transmission. A gravity-drip tray, mounted on top of the gearsets, collects the lubricant as it’s splashed up on the transmission. As the vehicle is being towed, lubricant drips slowly from the tray onto the gearsets, continuing to lubricate the transmission.
"It’s an elegant innovation," says Ram Krishnaswami, manager, 6F transmission. "It is a very simple piece of technology that works remarkably well."
AND This:
I just bought the Ford Edge SEL Plus FWD. Page 209 of the Owner's Guide states the following"Tow your front Wheel Drive vehicle with all four wheels on the ground or with the front wheels of the ground by using a tow doily. If you are using a tow dolly follow the instructions specified by the equipment provider."
On Page 210 it goes on to states regarding AWD vehicles: "Tow your All Wheel Drive vehicle with all four wheels on the ground or with all four wheels off the ground using a vehicle transport trailer. Do not tow your All Wheel Drive vehicle with the front wheels off the ground (by using a tow dolly) and the rear wheels on the ground. This will cause damage to your AWD system."
Sorry, bold added by Ford, not me yelling.
It goes on to state:
"Tow only in the forward Direction."
"Release the parking brake".
"Place the transmission shift lever in Neutral (N)".
"Turn the key in the ignition to the ACC position".
"Do not exceed 65 mph".
"Start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes at the beginning of each day and at each fuel stop".
When in ACC, the clock and alarm light stays on. A battery disconnect or the Toad Charge can be used. Here is the link:

The SEL and Plus have the driver door keypad which is nice as you can lock the car and use the keypad to get in and out.
Hopefully, this will clear up questions on towing the Edge.
So now I am confused!!!!! :wacko:
I have e-mailed a friend of mine at ford to get there official response and I will post it here.
