We offer 4 Class III hitches that are a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ford Edge Sport:
• etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e36RR
• Curt Class III, part # C78KR
• Curt Class III, part # C13234
• Draw-Tite Class III, part # 75234
I'd eliminate the Curt # C13234, as the entire hitch would be visible from the rear of the vehicle, while the Draw-Tite # 75234, the Curt # C78KR and the etrailer # e36RR are mostly concealed behind the bumper, with only the receiver tube and the safety chain loops being visible from the rear.
Both the Curt # C78KR and the etrailer # e36RR hitches are manufactured in the USA, so I'd go with either of those. The two hitches are pretty much identical, but Curt hitch has a glossy powder coat finish, the etrailer brand hitch finish is matte. I personally prefer the matte finish, as I feel that it disappears into the undercarriage of the vehicle, which makes it less noticeable.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118677, a ball mount like # D-28, a hitch pin like # PC3 and a hitch ball like # 19261 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
I've linked to install videos for the hitches and the trailer wiring harness I mentioned.
