Not sure if this thread is still alive, but in case anybody needs it in the future. Attached is a list of the exact additional factory modifications for the 53G trailer towing option package. The entire document is applicable to the 2017 models and may be found here:

Does anyone have any real life towing experience of what the most significant risk would be if the weight limits were exceeded by a minimal amount - say 500 lbs? And what precautions should you take to minimize the risk of damage? Im assuming maintaining a slower speed and keeping a close eye on the engine temp? Would it be advisable to disable traction control?

I successfully disabled the AUTOLOCK feature on 2017 Edge Titanium. Autolock is the feature that automatically locks all doors when the vehicle exceeds 12 mph.
