  1. The frame rail is actually obscured by the bumper and the hole to fish the flat piece and the bolt is rather small and only slightly wider than the flat piece itself. Ill admit that I tried doing them together and maybe that was my mistake. After an hour of NOT getting the pieces to fit and getting them stuck up in there I ran out of patience and just pulled the back end apart. Tedious yes but it made for a MUCH easier install.
  2. My 13 Edge Limited is doing the exact same thing except its the driver side on mine. Good call on the Gorilla Glue, Imma gon do that tomorrow! Van

  4. Hey all Just an update for you all on my 13 Limited Hitch Install. I set out today to install this hitch that I got from etrailer for my Edge. There was a really nice install video for this hitch on their website but I'll tell you when it came time to fish the carriage bolts through the end of the frame rail on my installation they would not fit. I ended up having to remove the taillights, rear bumper cover and rear bumper itself to get the carriage bolts in. Once that was done the hitch went in relatively easy. I will say that removing the bumper cover is a bit of a pain because the little plastic drop screws holding the upper portion strip and do not easily come out. Once removed though installing the bolts is easy and the hitch itself is awkward but doable with help and with a floor jack. In the one picture the RED circle shows how big the end frame hole really is and the YELLOW circle shows how small the passageway is to route the carriage bolts. I just removed the bumper itself to have open access to the inside frame rail. Van Etrailer order information 2013 Ford Edge Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" Code: C13067
  5. Hey Folks, My 2013 Edge Limited did not come with the factory Ford Tow Package, so I am installing a Curt Class III hitch and having the wiring done professionally. I called Kerry Ford Service for advice and they told me do NOT use overdrive when towing, like on the interstate, as this would tear up the engine and transmission. So I have a few questions. I will be towing a single place Jet Ski about 1400 pounds fully loaded. 1.) Is this true, can you not use overdrive? 2.) How do you turn off O/D on the select shift vehicle, mine does not have an O/D button, just + and - for SelectShift? 3.) The lady at Ford said I may need a bigger rear sway bar? Any advice on this? Frankly I'm a little disappointed because the Factory Ford Tow rating for this model is 3500 pounds, but whats the dang point if your only going to run about 55 or 60 on the interstate in 5th gear. What do you all think Van

    New to me my 13 Edge Limited!
  8. Tmcharest, The 3.5 V6 can tow 3500 pounds if properly equipped see here: http://www.ford.com/resources/ford/general/pdf/towingguides/13flrv&tt_edge_oct1.pdf I have a 13 Edge Limited Im about to put a hitch on and Im using this one: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Ford/Edge/2013/C13067.html?vehicleid=2013304258 The hitch says 4000lb but Ford says 3500lbs, so to play it safe I'd stick with what Ford says. Hope this helps if you havent yet pulled the trigger Van
  9. http://www.runningboardwarehouse.com/egr-running-boards-ford-edge-2010-2013.aspx I thought these look pretty nice Van
  10. Simply put: Ive wanted one for about the last 5 years. I admire them because they are Fords, they are bigger than the Escape and they can tow 3500 pounds. Mine is a 13 Limited in Black and it will look great pulling my Black Waverunner. Van
  11. Hey Snake, Absoulutely love all the modding you've been doing to your Edge. Really get the creative ideas flowing for me and my 13. I actually just got mine day before yesterday and it is a bone stock Limited......so what to do what to do. Sent you a friend request. Van
  12. Hey all, Just thought Id drop in and say hey. Im the proud owner of a 13 Edge Limited and I got to tell you I have wanted one of these for about 5 years now. Could not be happier! Van
