Ford Edge Towing Capacity: Performance Features

As you’re towing throughout Coon Rapids, it’s important that your Ford Edge is equipped with the necessary features that will not only enhance your performance, but also keep you safe. Check out the performance features available to enhance your control and traction capabilities when hauling heavy loads on Anoka roads:

  • Class II Trailer Tow Package–This package is required if you want to achieve the 3,500-pound towing capacity (when equipped with all-wheel drive).
  • Hill Start Assist–When you’re driving on an incline, Hill Start Assist automatically holds the brake to prevent backward roll as you’re switching from the brake to the gas pedal.
  • Intelligent All-Wheel Drive–Uses sensors to monitor traction and balance torque between the front and rear wheels to maximize traction and enhance handling.
  • Traction Control–This feature limits wheelspin by reducing throttle output.
  • Trailer Sway Control–Applies brakes and reduces engine torque when necessary to maintain control.

2021 Ford Edge Engine Options

Now that you know the Ford Edge towing capacity and performance features, how exactly does this SUV accomplish its towing power? There are two Ford Edge engines available for Big Lake drivers, one of which offers a best-in-class V6 engine:

  • Twin-scroll 2.0L EcoBoost I-4, Turbocharged, Direct-injection engine produces 245 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. This engine can tow up to 1,500 pounds.
  • 2.7L EcoBoost V6, twin-turbocharged, direct-injection engine cranks out 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. This engine achieves the maximum 3,500-pound towing capacity.
