Towing option

Looking to buy an edge to replace my 07 Escape and had a question on the tow package.
I want the tow package and the 2500 load rate is fine for me. Question is, is there wiring already istalled our will i have to go after market?
Thanks,
Tim

The Edge with the V6 comes with a 3500 lb towing rating and has a 4-prong plug mounted under the back bumper next to the hitch.

If the model you test drove had the tow package then the wiring was there. It is tucked up under the bumper and the 4-prong has a cap over it to keep it clean.
