Just wanted to say we purchased a 2011 Ford Edge SEL with FWD. Just had the Blue Ox 2628 base plate installed by Capital Hitch in Tallahassee, FL. Great job!! Did have a glitch with the wiring harness since the Edge has "no cut", but they were able to work around with a "T" harness and diodes. Don't know exactly how this works, but it does. We have 2005 SportsCo...

I am just beginning a search for a vehicle to tow behind our motorhome. I've always liked the looks of the Edge. I understand that when following proper procedures, towing an Edge is approved by Ford but I am curious to know... is there any wear to the transmission on the Edge while it is being towed? Does putting the Edge in neutral essentially disconnect the transmission? I know that with some vehicles, the engine needs to be run to provide lubrication to the transmission - the assumption being that the transmission is turning while being towed? I'm a bit confused by all of this and if someone can clear it up, I would be very thankful. I'd like to get an Edge to tow, but I don't think I would want towing it to cause wear to the transmission. Lastly... we would probably be looking for a 2008 or 2009 Edge... any recommendations on preferred model year? Better to go with AWD or FWD?
