    I just bought a 16 Titanium and had dealer install the tow kit and they assured me I would have to lose the hands free lift gate function - I did. BUT...

     

    Apparently it can be restored! Ford makes sensors that work with the hitch. I got em both from Tasca Parts for about $20 ea. Just ordered yesterday and installing soon as they arrive. TBH this was first tow kit dealer installed an Edge so they didn’t know this. Another Edge owner clued me in. Here are the parts you need - upper and lower sensors and part numbers in blue box.

    Wait, do I need both sensors or only bottom one (orange)? My titanium 2016 already equipped with the sensor, but it's not split to 2 parts as in the photo due to my car was coming without a hitch

    If you're sure your Edge is equipped with the hands free system the original sensor might have been unplugged during the hitch install or the aftermarket hitch could be blocking it. 

    There's a fix.  The Titanium with factory hitch installed comes with this dual sensor. https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-sensor-em2z14f680a/?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9YnVtcGVyLWFuZC1jb21wb25lbnRzLXJlYXImaT1NUzE1ODkwNSZyPTQmYT1mb3JkJm89ZWRnZSZ5PTIwMTYmdD10aXRhbml1bSZlPTMtNWwtdjYtZ2Fz

    It's plug and play to replace the centralized single sensor you (probably) currently have.

     

     

    Do I need to remove bottom bumper (the black part) to replace the sensor?

  3. My car was rear-ended, the damage was pretty severe because I had a trailer hitch and the hit was strong enough to damage the frame.

    the insurance has restored the ca by replacing the right rail. But now when I drive the car is pulling right when I accelerate let's say from 40mph to 60mph.

    The body shop has made the wheel alignment twice, but the car still pulls right. What I have noticed at a low speed e.g. 40-50mph when coasting it's driving straight.

    However, it's still pulling right even when cruising/coasting on 70-80mph. The body shop doesn't know how to fix it because the wheel alignment specs show everything within a norm.

     

     

    Do you think the replacement of the frame parts could cause the issue? But then why wheel alignments show everything in spec?

    When I drive on highways there is constant pressure on hands to keep the wheel, so the car drives straight... that's pretty annoying..

     

  4. I have these pillar protectors with keypad cutout for the 15-17 models, which we decided not to use.

    if anybody is interested I can ship for $40 + shipping cost
