Can you flat tow a 2013 Ford Edge?

I’m selling my 2013 Ford Edge, but the buyer lives a few states over. Can I safely flat tow it behind my truck?

Yes—you can flat tow a 2013
Ford Edge
if it has a 3.5 or 3.7L engine and either AWD or FWD—these can be flat towed or towed with a dolly. If you have an Edge with a 2.0L engine, they should be towed using a dolly. If your model is equipped with AWD, using a tow dolly can cause damage to the AWD system.
If you’re planning to flat tow your 2013 Edge, here are some safety measures to keep in mind:
  • Do not exceed a speed of 65 mph when flat towing or towing with a dolly
  • Only tow a Ford Edge forward; towing your Edge backward can damage the body or frame
  • Put the climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle
