That’s kind of what I thought so the plug that’s there is probably for the hands free. I was a heavy equipment mechanic for 40 years but to many back fusions so I would probably have someone do it that has a rack or I may just leave it alone. Thanks for all the information it was very helpful on a direction to go

After laying down and looking the hitch over it is a ford hitch but I think they just installed the hitch because there is only a two wire connecter at the hitch which may be the hands free wiring connector. If it was a connector for a hitch it should be a least a 4 wire connector I would think so turn lights and brake lights would all work I may have to pull some of the covers down and check I will probably never pull anything with it I may just want to do away with the hitch

Thanks I'll look into that possibility. I am going to ford in the next few days to add the extended warranty and I will see if they have one the edge came from Nevada and the dealer put it on at 35 miles you think they would have done it then but then that would have been to easy.

I traded a 14 edge for a 17 edge titanium with 4 thousand miles according to Carfax the dealer installed a trailer hitch a 35 miles. I notices the hands free liftgate doesn't work is this something they had to do away with by adding a hitch
