Ford Edge Towing Capacity

Ford Edge Road Driving

When you’re looking at the 2021 Ford Edge, you’ll get comfortable seating, helpful technology, and a good safety system. However, you may want to know more about its towing capacity.

To answer questions about the Ford Edge’s towing capabilities, Maguire Ford has put together this page for drivers from Ithaca, Elmira, and Cortland, NY. We hope this page answers any questions you might have. 

Ford Edge Towing Capacity

Ford Edge Towing CapacityThe Ford Edge offers five trim levels. However, if you’re looking to tow, the SEL, the Titanium, and the ST trim levels are excellent options. The SEL and the Titanium have an available Class II Trailer Tow Package, which comes standard on the ST. When properly equipped, these three trim levels will give you 3,500 pounds of towing capacity. 

How much towing capacity does 3,500 pounds get you? You can tow a small pop-up trailer, some dirt bikes, and a jet ski or two on the lower end of your towing needs. If you’re looking to tow something a little bit bigger, the 3,500-pound towing capacity when properly equipped will let you tow a lightweight boat, ATVs, and a small camping trailer. 

Helpful Towing Technology

Ford Edge Towing TechnologyWhen you decide to tow, the Ford Edge has a few different technologies to help you make towing that much easier. The Class II Trailer Tow Package comes with trailer sway control. Trailer sway control tracks the motion of your trailer and helps you control the movement of your vehicle if the trailer is swaying.

For towing purposes, the Ford Edge should be equipped with the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. This system uses sensors to monitor traction and moves torque to the front and rear wheels as needed. This helps avoid wheel slips and maximizes traction. 

The standard Rear View Camera can give you a view of things directly behind your vehicle. This can help you line up the Edge to your trailer and get an idea of what other obstacles might be behind you. 



Safety and Driver-Assist Features

To keep you safe while you’re towing or just on your daily commute, the Ford Edge has a suite of driver-assist and safety features called Ford Co-Pilot360™. Some of the features included in this suite are:

  • BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert—This system helps you keep an eye on your blind spots while you’re changing lines or backing out of your driveway or a parking spot. If the Edge senses a vehicle in your blind spot, it will alert you.
  • Lane-Keeping System—To keep you centered in your lane, this system monitors the vehicle’s position in your lane. If the vehicle seems to drift, your Edge will warn you and center you back in your lane. 
  • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking—When this system senses that a collision might happen, it will warn you. If you don’t stop in time, it will also apply the brakes to avoid or lessen the impact of a crash.
  • Auto High-Beam Headlamps—This feature automatically turns off your high beams if it senses an oncoming vehicle. Once the car has passed, your high beams will be turned back on again. 
  • Rear View Camera—See obstacles behind you and even get a camera wiper to keep it clear of debris or weather elements.
