You might want to check out this Fleetwood folding trailer. Unloaded weight is 2900 lbs, max weight is 3500 lbs, so it's within the limits of the Edge/MKX. It comes with an enclosed bathroom/shower and is available with A/C.

A few things you can do. Before ordering, avoid options that add weight (AWD, moonroof, bigger wheels). If you live in a hot climite, order a light color.
Inflate the tires 5 psi over recommended provided you don't go over the max pressure on the sidewall.
Do a complete changeover to synthetic lubricants including engine, power steering, transaxle and rear differential on the AWD models.
Take a look at doing a CAI and a chip. The chip manufacturers can do either performance or economy tunes for anywhere from 87 to 93 octane.

Just checked the 2011 Edge order guide. The base engine (3.5 Ti-VCT) will be rated at 285 hp. Strangely enough, the most powerful Edge, the Sport model with 305 hp, is not available with the towing package.
