Will it pull your trailer?
Use the trailer's GVWR (on its VIN sticker) if you don't know what it weighs loaded — the dry weight leaves out water, propane and gear.

It takes the 2.0L EcoBoost I4 or 2.7L EcoBoost V6 — pick your configuration below to be sure.
▲ top rating 3,500 lbs
- Tongue weight ≈ 190 lbs — 10% of the loaded trailer, the figure Ford's guide uses (no more than 200 lbs up to 2,000 lbs). It counts against your payload, together with passengers and cargo.
- Needed at this weight: For trailers over 1,500 lbs. – Class II Trailer Tow Package (53G) and AWD. Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may be voided if you tow without them.
- ✓ up to 90% of the rating · ! 90–100% (little room for cargo, hills, wind — common advice, not a Ford rule) · ✕ over the rating.

Why the numbers differ
Every engine is rated for the same 3,500 lbs at its best.
With the tow package the 2.0L EcoBoost I4 goes from 1,500 lbs to 3,500 lbs — it requires Class II Trailer Tow Package (53G). p. 40 ↗
Same top rating as the 2021 model (3,500 lbs).

Weights are what each trailer maker publishes (retrieved 2026-09-27). We compare the trailer's GVWR — the most it may weigh loaded — with each Edge configuration's rating, and never a dry weight when a GVWR exists.

What the rating assumes
Over 1,500 lbs
For trailers over 1,500 lbs. – Class II Trailer Tow Package (53G) and AWD. Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty may be voided if you tow without them.
Hitch limit
Edge hitch receiver
3,500 lbs trailer · 350 lbs tongue
Included with Class II Trailer Tow Package – Option Code 53G.
Trailer frontal area
20 sq. ft. without Class II Trailer Tow Package; 30 sq. ft. with it. A tall, wide trailer can be too big even when it's light enough.
Every rating assumes a 150-lb driver and passenger and no other cargo. Add people, gear or accessories and the trailer you can tow goes down by the same amount.
New to towing?
The five weights, in one picture
- Loaded trailer weight — must stay under the towing rating
- The rating “It assumes a towing vehicle with any mandatory options, no cargo, tongue load of 10% (conventional trailer) or king pin weight of 15% (5th-wheel trailer), and driver and passenger (150 lbs. each).” Weight of additional options, passengers, cargo and hitch must be deducted from this weight. p. 7 ↗
- Tongue weight — the part of the trailer pressing on the hitch
- “For trailers up to 2,000 lbs., tongue load not to exceed 200 lbs. For conventional trailers over 2,000 lbs., tongue load is 10% of loaded trailer weight. For 5th-wheel trailers, king pin weight is 15% of loaded trailer weight.” p. 7 ↗
- Payload — people and cargo the truck can carry
- “Payload is the combined maximum allowable weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is designed to carry. It is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating minus the Base Curb Weight.” And: “When towing, trailer tongue load or king pin weight is also part of the Cargo Weight.” p. 6 ↗
- GVWR and GCWR — the two ceilings
- “Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable weight of the fully-loaded vehicle (including passengers and cargo).” “Gross Vehicle Weight PLUS Loaded Trailer Weight EQUALS Gross Combination Weight (GCW) GCW must not exceed GCWR.” Your GVWR is on the label on the driver's door jamb. p. 6 ↗
