The Ford Edge has a curb weight of 4073 and a gross weight of 5150 so it will always out weigh a TM, even the 3326 at a dry weight of 3520lbs.
It is outfitted with the tow package and they (Ford) say that it can tow 3500lbs. I haven't checked the tongue weight to see if the class II can handle a TM so I'll get on that one.
I've towed 3500 before (with Class II to III adapter and w/o trailer brakes) when the F350 was not available and the Edge did great. The 3.5L V6 and the brakes on the Edge worked great (short distance and flat ground). Going from a 4way to 7way plug shouldn't be that much of a problem.
I usually need to get over the Cascade range or the Coast range here in the Pacific NW. That's why I'm wondering about getting the TM down to around 3000.
I'll start looking closer at the 3124KD. It seems to have a nice layout.
The boat and trailer are over 3500lbs so they have to go on the F350.
