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?
