Absolutely like cjd3 said. Thue Curt requires cutting/drilling. So far for the sport only the Draw-tite and Hidden Hitch have been proven to fit without and cutting of the rear fascia.

Yes, you can install one piece at a time. No need for wiring at the same time. My wiring kit is still on my work bench in the garage as the wife & kids keep me busy.

It is a simple install take your time, and be patient with the kink wire/fishing everything through the frame that was the hardest part. other than that align it well and enjoy.

The hitch itself has some data printed on it and mentions 3000lbs. I know my intentions for the hitch is to pull a small utility trailer with my ATV in it and maybe some stuff to the dump, or yard debris etc., or move some small moving of furniture or the like. No serious weight and I don't plan on hauling anything heavier than my ATV or motorcycle on a light trailer.

Also to be completely clear I used Draw-Tite 75728, exact same as Hidden Hitch 87617 or Reese 44672. I own and installed this on a 2013 Ford Edge Sport AWD.

Hope this clears some things up for others.

Here are some pics...this hitch WILL fit without trimming rear fascia at all. Some minor trimming of heat shields for muffler, which is completely normal with any hitch. Does not cause any bowing or bulging at all. Looks like it should have come from the factory like that. Install is quite easy and straight forward as with any Hidden Hitch/Draw-Tite/Reese hitch. Took me an hour and twenty minutes (including time my wife came out to chat while I was working). All in all I am very satisfied and hope others will be too.

I installed in same manner cjd3 did, so if you're looking for install instructions use his as they are quite good. I just used a different part number for the hitch itself.

I had great experience with Barrie Ford. Ended up buying from Hanna Ford in Collingwood but that may be a trek for you.

Best of luck.

cjd3 that is a great post and instructions, but that is not on a Sport model. The rear fascia is lower on the sport, and calls for different hitch.

I ordered the Hidden Hitch 87617 or Draw-tite 75728 (same model, just badged differently) just depends on what my parts guy can get his hands on first, as the hidden hitch says it is in production, but the Draw-tite was available in Indiana, just needed to be shipped North of the border.

As soon as it shows up I will install and get some pics. He did call Cequent (manufacturers of Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, Reese) and they confirmed it will indeed fit, and he said if not he will take it back no re-stocking fee....so we shall see. His biggest concern was that my Edge is a 2013, and all the websites say will fit 2011-2012...which is no concern to me as they haven't changed.

still waiting for pics as well

Interested as well! Can't stand the thought of hacking up the rear fascia, but don't want spacers either so I have been holding off.

Do you think that MTM cannon work on a Simoniz gas sprayer?
