★ Top Answer
It is possible to tow a Ford Edge with all four tires on the ground. Ensuring that your tires are in top condition is crucial for safe driving and avoiding accidents. Eventually, you may encounter issues with tire wear, such as premature wear, feathering, or cupping. It is important to regularly check tire pressure and look for any punctures from sharp objects. Remember that this part will need to be replaced eventually, typically after driving 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Making sure your tires are in good condition will help prevent accidents while on the road.

Certain editions of the Ford Edge can be towed with proper equipment.

The manual does not provide instructions for disconnecting the battery. The 8F24 or 8F35 transmissions cannot be flat towed, only the HF45 transmission can. According to the owner's manual, if your vehicle needs to be flat-towed in an emergency, make sure it's facing forward and placed in neutral. You may have to use a Stay in Neutral mode if shifting is not possible. The maximum speed should be 35 mph and the maximum distance 50 miles. For recreational towing, switch the climate control to recirculated air mode to avoid exhaust fumes in the vehicle. You can use the Neutral Tow mode in the information display to tow all four wheels on the ground, or use a tow dolly for front-wheel drive vehicles or a trailer for all-wheel drive vehicles. Follow the instructions provided by the equipment provider when using a tow dolly or trailer. Remember to release the parking brake, follow specific steps to enable Neutral Tow mode, and keep the speed below 70 mph if towing with all four wheels on the ground. Start the engine daily and every six hours, shifting into drive and reverse before going back to neutral and re-enabling Neutral Tow mode if necessary.

It varies depending on the model year and engine type. For instance, the 2019 Ford Edge is suitable for flat towing, while the 2018 model can be flat towed unless it is equipped with the 2.0L ecoboost engine and an automatic transmission.

Certainly! Yeah, but make sure it's specifically the Edge ST with the 2.7L engine and follow the Manual Park Release steps while disconnecting the battery. It's essential that you have the ST version because, from what I know, it's the only model designed for flat towing.
-
Just a heads up, only the Edge ST with a 2.7-liter engine can be flat towed. The 'ST Line' Edge, which has a 2.0-liter engine, cannot be flat towed.
