Speaker 1: Today in this 2013 Ford Edge, we're going to be having a look at and showing you how to install the etrailer.com class 3 trailer hitch receiver, part number E98870. Here's what our hitch looks like installed. First thing you notice about this hitch, there's plenty of clearance around our receiver, making this a great hitch to use on bike racks and cargo carriers. Now, some of the questions that we get about this hitch from our customers is if they have the hands-free lift gate assist, where you kick your foot underneath the bumper, will the hatch still open The answer to that is yes, but you will have a slightly reduced area here around the receiver.Another question we get is if the vehicle's equipped for backup sensors like this, will the backup sensors be activated when there's a bike rack or cargo carrier on the hitch Answer to that is yes. If you have a bike rack or cargo carrier and it's blocking the sensors, the sensors will go off when the vehicle is in reverse, but reverse only. When you're driving down the road like normal in drive, you don't have to worry about any warning lights on the dash or listen to the beeping noise. Now, on the side of our receiver, you'll find your industry standard five eighths of an inch diameter hitch pinhole, which you can use a pin and clip to secure any of your hitch-mounted accessories. We have one of those available separately on our website.Welded on the bottom are rolled steel safety chain loops, and what's nice about these is they have a decent sized opening so even if you have a very large safety chain hook like this one, you can still clip on and clip off without any issues. From the back of our receiver, you'll find this collar that's welded on. Not only does this give us a nice, finished look, but it does help improve the strength of the opening itself. One thing about this hitch that does set it apart from others in the market is the finish on it. Most hitches either have a gloss or a flat black powder coat finish. This has a matte black carbide power coat finish, which is much more durable and much more rust resistant.This hitch features a 400 pound max tongue weight rating, which is the amount forcing down, and a 4,000 pound max gross trailer weight rating, which is the amount it can pull. As always, you'll want to make sure you consult with the owner's manual of your Ford Edge, and not exceed what the vehicle's rated for. Go by whichever number's less. Now, for a few measurements to better assist you in choosing any hitch-mounted accessory you may need such as a ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier. You're looking at about 13 inches from the ground to the top of the two inch receiver opening, and about four inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the outermost part of the back bumper.Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed. To begin our install, we need to lower down our exhaust a little bit to give ourselves a little bit more room to work. On each side of our muffler, we'll find one exhaust hanger. This is the driver's side. The passenger side's the same way. We'll give it a little bit of a silicone spray, lubricant to help make it slide off easier, and then we'll use a pry bar to pry it off. We'll repeat the same process on the other side.Now we have two exhaust heat shields above our muffler, one on the passenger side and one on the driver's side. They're mirror images of each other. We need to remove the two eight millimeter bolts that hold our heat shield in place on our frame rail. We'll do this on both sides of the vehicle. Now, we can hang onto this bolts or throw them away. We will not be reusing them with the hitch in place. With those bolts removed, we can now grab the heat shield, pull it down a little bit, and there's a hole here that's covered by our heat shield here. We need to go ahead and trim this out a little bit so it's not covering it. You use a pair of extended snips for this. Here, we have another oval hole here where our tab goes in our heat shield. We're going to cut that tab off. Now, all of our holes are not blocked anymore by our heat shield. We'll go repeat the same process on the other side.All right, now we'll take one of our pull wires and we'll go through our Ford hole, which is this oval hole here, and route it towards the back of the vehicle where it'll come out our frame rail by our bumper bear. Now, we'll take one of our blocks, pl
