I joined this forum strictly for the info on hitch install and have found all the info very helpful - so thanks!
Just wanted to say I installed a Reese hitch (part #44672 - Canadian Tire part #0401379 $230) today on my 2013 Edge Sport and had zero issues. Small cuts to the heat shield as previously noted, no change to the facia at all. I did find this video to be helpful as well for those considering the job:

The instructions that came with the hitch were also helpful and basically just back up everything here. I don't have my wire harness yet but plan on doing that as soon as it arrives.
Cheers
Dave
