Trailhiker Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I was hoping there was another grill option, but no luck. No exterior appearance packages either. I was hoping for something unique...I guess I'll wait for the Bronco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 An ST Line version would be nice. I dont need the extra performance, just give me the looks. And dont make it like the 2018 sport appearance package. The exterior was nice but the brown and black seats with the grey headliner completely ruined that entire package.

jcartwright99 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I saw a new MKC at the dealer so I am assuming it's on sale now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcartwright99 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 ST is very pricey. I think for me, at that price point I'd just go with the Nautilus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 ST is very pricey. I think for me, at that price point I'd just go with the Nautilus. ST has much better performance, so it's a tradeoff of luxury vs. performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley Lover Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yeah that face continues to be not great on the Edge. It seems as though Ford sought to move the Edge closer visually to the Ecospot, which is a not attractive vehicle (particularly the front end). It appears this front end treatment has been chosen to proliferate through the lineup, hopefully it won't infect other products as much.

jcartwright99 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 ST has much better performance, so it's a tradeoff of luxury vs. performance. Both have the same engine and trans. I am wondering how much better it will be. It will be interesting to see just how much difference there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) I was hoping there was another grill option, but no luck. No exterior appearance packages either. I was hoping for something unique...I guess I'll wait for the Bronco. Titanium has the Elite Appearance Package which does change the look substantially, although the configurator has some bugs since the lower cladding is suppose to be body colored. Edge is starting to look dated even with the facelift, it basically looks like the Fusion. I still think it's a great looking vehicle and the new fascia is a welcome improvement that moves it slightly closer to modernity. I hated the old fascia's huge gaps and seams, it looked very low quality and dull. Edge is still one of a kind, not many vehicles can match it on available power and performance. My Dad had a 2015 Edge SE and it was solid and silent like a bank vault, impressive vehicle for the price.

T-dubz Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 The grille is ok. If they would make it the magnetic color of the grille on the ranger sport appearance package, I think itd look better. I dislike the fake chrome on any vehicle though and always get the sport package to get it as monocromatic as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see just how much difference there is. The engine has been tuned for 30 more HP and the trans has better shifting in addition to better suspension tuning.

jasonj80 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 ST is very pricey. I think for me, at that price point I'd just go with the Nautilus. To equip the Nautilus like the ST you would be at 60K sticker on the Nautilus. I do wonder how they will each lease out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yeah that face continues to be not great on the Edge. I remain nostalgic for the 3-bar, against all sanity and logic. I love the new front end, and didn't like the '15-18. Had it looked like this before, I'd have one already. The engine has been tuned for 30 more HP and the trans has better shifting in addition to better suspension tuning. MKX/Nautilus has always had 335-hp on the 2.7EB.

ANTAUS Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I have a friend shopping for an Edge this year and the issue we are encountering is, shes stuck with the 245-250HP I-4, or the 335HP V6, like there's no in between, the I-4 just gives it an average of 8.5 0-60, while this up-powered V6 I estimate will do it mid 5's. The sweet spot was the 3.5L at around 280HP, but that's out the door for 2019, so I was placed to do a hunt for a 2018 model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should have turned up the wick a bit more on the 2.0 (which it can handle) to 275/300. Really, the Nautilus needed the 2.3 but I've harped on that a million times. The positive on this is that I've heard fuel economy numbers have increased by 2-3 mpg with new transmission and AWD system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 MKX/Nautilus has always had 335-hp on the 2.7EB. Totally forgot about that. So did they just do the same tuning on the Edge ST as the MKX (just advancing the timing with premium fuel) or did they achieve 335 hp on regular?

The 2.0EB has 275 and it has it at lower RPM. I don’t remember driving an Edge with the 2.0L but I had a Titanium Fusion 2.0LEB to compare with our 3.7L MKX and I would take the 2.0L every day. It’s much faster off the line. With the MKX I feel like I have to floor it to get it going. But maybe that’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 That I cannot answer. Ford Edge ST website says Premium fuel so it sounds like the same tune as the MKX. Somewhat disappointing but better than the old Edge Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadicalX Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Edge ST and Ranger raptor come into the same question. A lot of people claim that they both have a power below the expected, but they are offroad vehicles. Suspension adjustments for high-sized cars are crucial for them to be quick in what they propose to do, although Edge ST has a more urban intention, despite being an SUV. Edge St would not have the Eco Boost 3.0 TT 400HP because it will be setting the Explorer ST. Ranger Raptor has an eco blue because Diesel are more suitable for Offroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weiweishen Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I hope the Engine for the Titanium Edge ca be better than 2.0 Liter EcoBoost. Is this engine the same as 2.0 Liter Ecoboot engine for current Escape? What is the weight difference between Escape and Edge. I am afraid that the 2.0 Ecoboost can be sluggish for Edge.
