Ford Edge Off Road TEST - Reaction

The Ford edge off road test doesn’t go the greatest. These SUVs are not mean to be going off roaring. These are made for families to drive around in. The Ford edge can be lifted, but it still has all the smaller drivetrain of a V6 SUV. If you’re looking to do some off-road eating in an SUV and might look at a heavier duty vehicle.
The Ford edge is a family sedan, and most likely not designed to be going off road. The drivetrain on the Ford edge is not designed to be going off routing so you might have to do some upgrading. The Ford edge is designed as a family SUV. You don’t see too many of these SUVs with a lift kit and off-road tires, so this is pretty crazy.

I take my 2017 3.5 in the bush and hill climbing and it does great but limited clearance. Its definitely not a land cruiser.

There is a lift kit for 1.5". With better tires and the 2.7 awd it could do ok on trail roads and dunes. I think you might need more like 3-5" is what you might need if possible for anything a wragler could try

First one here!!! cool!!! but yeah this is like definitely some test track BS i can smell it from NJ lol

[@Modjunkiereacts]

Lol you think so??

[@jeffh7021]

Someone gave you some bad info. You can get the edge in fwd as well as awd. Edge is great on slippery roads and in deep snow. I definitely wouldn't be taking mine wheeling though. Not enough clearance for any serious trails. Logging roads and dirt trails are about as far as I'll push mine. That could change with some proper wheels and tires though. I'd like to see a built edge.

Super soft course. This isn't off roading, obviously. Teetertotter aside, (it had rubberized grip Matt's) the off roading was as basic as backing out of my driveway. What a joke.
I also understand this suv isn't meant to trail riding or offroading...but this video from Ford doesn't exactly show much of what it can and should be able to do

Thanks for the horrible video. I am going to bed.
