I just purchased a 2010 Ford Edge Limited. Very happy with it. I want to add a trailer hitch to it with a 1 1/4" receiver to use a cargo carrier that was on my 2002 Ford Explorer. I noticed that the factory hitch comes through the bumper. I really don't want to cut the rear bumper for an aftermarket trailer hitch. I have noticed after marked hitches that mount below the bumper. The hitch looks a little low, and I"m concerned about bottoming out the cargo carrier.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
I thought about a rooftop carrier, but with the VISTA roof, THULE gets awful expensive, awfully fast.
Thanks.
Joe
