Here's Why The 2019 Ford Edge ST Is a Fine Crossover But Not a True ST
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2019 Ford Edge ST has a big Twin Turbo V6 engine, and yes, it is quick in a straight line. But it is missing the soul and character of a true performance Ford ST Vehicle.

#Ford #Edge #EdgeST
It's a crossover not a small compact car. What did you expect? A Miata? If Ford didn't put ST on it you would look at it in the same way. I just bought one after cross shopping a Santa Fe, Mazda CX5 and a Honda Passport. It hauls about the same same cargo but the performance is in another league! I don't give a dam n how fast you can go around d a corner, actually have a Miata RF for that and a Shelby GT500 for real fast. What it does it does well. It's quiet, comfortable and seats are good. The only thing g that I don't like is the digital dash. I have to add that I bought a leftover 2019, loaded for under 39,500. Not a bargain for 50K but real good considering he 40K competition!
A agree with you. I rented one and it was good, but I wouldn't put my hard earned money down and buy one. Great review as always!
Thanks for the advised, i was thinking of purchasing and Edge model, not this ST model in particular. But its like 50/50 good and bad. Than the price for a decent model is kind of pricey too.
OVERPRICED & OUTDATED. PUMPED IN ENGINE NOISE??
What kind of pathetic review was that. You pull out of your hotel parking lot and punch it. One time! Why didn't you at the very least run it through the paces. How about a winding mountain road using sport mode and a bit of the paddle shifters. You never gave it a chance! SAD!
I have a 21 ST and absolutely love it. By the way I had a Fiesta ST and It's like comparing apples to oranges. You don't compare a car to an suv. That's not a fair accurate comparison.
Sorry guys, you lost me on this one. A five minute test drive just doesn't cut it. For anyone who has had a chance to push it a bit and learn how it handles, you know what I am talking about.
Sporty badging does not a performance car make...
ChemicalNBC True. But a black interior and black wheels do. At least according to to the manufacturers.
There is a lot more than badges in this rig. 🙄
$52,225 for this? absolutely ridiculous. this is no ST.
Try to find something this size in the $42K-$52K price range that can outperform it. Good luck.
@@markwhite7585 facts
Telluride SX
stranger danger You think that can out perform this??
@@damariuseaton6678 on paper looks like the edge st would be faster. You get so much more though for 10k less on the Kia. I mean if I had that money to spend I may get the Kia. I already own the focus st
I think using the x3, x4 as mental comparisons isn't fair. A hot hatch is going to be more fun, because of weight and center of gravity. You should have used something comparable from Hyundai, Chevy or Dodge, oh wait...
52k is high, but that's msrp, who's paying msrp? They did a lot right..
A white jellybean 🤣🤣🤣 honestly I have an escape with the 2.0 EcoBoost with awd i can only imagine how much more torquey this edge feels
I don't understand why ford has better trim levels in Europe if it's a American car have u guys seen the edge Vignale in Europe why can't we get something like that in the states
$52K? 👀
30k now
Just saw a 2019 Cadillac ct6 for $51,000. Ford just cant justify the price tag...
They should make a “Chibi” version of the mustang with the ecoboost and call it a mustang ST 😂
Must angst lol, I see what you did there lol.
Is Ram the only one that knows how to make a nice interior?
This looks like Marco Island, Florida.
Mazda cx5 turbo walks all over this, beautiful car just a bit less room
And less reliable
But the ST will leave your weed eater far behind, very far!
Adrian B, better 0-60 for sure, but the Edge would get you in midrange (it'd even worse on the more comparable sized CX-9 w/the T-2.5).
6.0 doesn't smell like "ST"
Thats so stupid. Making a crossover thats supposed to be as fun as a compact hatch? Getting rid of all youre cars except mustang? Bye bye ford
Not sure why anyone would buy this when you can get a BMW X3 for less money or get the the BMW X3 m40i. The m40i will stomp all over the edge st.
Thanks for the video, helped me decide, I'd rather spend the extra coin and get the explorer ST. That edge looks so basic inside, like a 2017 explorer base model
I was excited when Ford started talking about the Edge ST. But when it arrived, the overwhelming opinion is meh. My 2nd gen RAV4 does 0-60 in the low 6's and I was really hoping for something better by now.
I guess for something to fill that niche it is still the German brands or maybe Acura.
No, your rav 4 doesn't.
Nice Colors On Ford Edge St
This car will sell for about 20k preowned in 2-3 years . Insert Taurus SHO Here
Just get a dodge is what I'm hearing
Overpriced trash. No one in their right mind would pay that for a freaking Ford Edge.
I traded my 2019 Mustang GT for the 2019 Ford Edge ST and this is why: I had three F-150 but it was time for a change, I bought the 2019 Mustang GT and absolutely love this car hands down!!!, However I live in a snow belt and I just don’t have the heart to drive my Mustang GT in the winter!, What I needed was something in between hence The 2019 Ford Edge has good performance and all wheel drive and I can tow up to 3500 lbs and I bought with the performance package the same colour and black out like my Mustang GT Bring winter on! 😎🏁
The new 2019 Ford Edge ST First off its a SUV not a car, Yes it’s a SUV ST that you should of compared to other SUV in the market and you did see this?, What kind of car reviewers are you?, You say there’s not enough head room? Well try putting the seat down and lean back the back rest, The shifting knob I do agree with you.....nobody likes them!, Also note: The 2019 Ford Edge ST also share the 2.7 litre out of the F-150 and can also be boosted to ready for this 540hp and 583lbs of torque, Know fact check out 2.7 boosted on RUclips, With this kind of power in a 2019 Ford ST you’d be pulling away from police interceptors if that is your thing lol,
Finally a person that gets it. We just got DUMPED ON with snow here in SE Michigan. It was fun watching those sunny day, California proper cars like the Mustangs and Chargers, spin all over the place because of the snow.
Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Mustangs but they aren’t a daily driver here in Michigan. I watched many Mustangs and Camaro’s spin out into a median or ditch because the owner could only afford one car and that car wasn’t made for snow.
Shoulda bought a raptor...thats what i did.
Let's be honest now, do you have a wife and kids ?
@@Genshinaction Indeed I do
My wife and I purchased one about a month ago and we absolutely love everything about it.
I love mine. It's Awesome!
You guys are never too fear when it comes to Ford, this is a SUV that is very good at SUV stuff which you never mention
Next gen Edge should use Explorer platform(RWD-Biased) and a lot of people WIIL BE HAPPY!
Alejandro Estrada Romero hate to say it but the modern Explorer is transverse engine front wheel biased too.
Colby Alexander newest Explorer has returned to a brand new RWD, longitudinal platform
@@colbyalexander6306 not the 2020
Alejandro Estrada Romero Yes the 2020. Where did you took your informations?
@@benven2161 the 2020 is in FACT RWD. It's all over youtube
Man you guys are hard on Ford
If it is a "Sport" model it must have BLACK interior! A deep pit of ass-scorching, summer-time blast furnace, blackety-blackness. Why-o-why do manufacturers insist on black only interiors for the coolest models?
Agreed. My 19' Lariat came with black leather and my son burned his legs the other day when he hopped in.😠 Now I have to waste 10mins cooling the interior off before leaving.😠
Remote start with your phone. Do it all the time with my King Ranch. I never get in a hot or cold truck.
The cooled seats with microfiber inserts resolve the assmelt.
Im so tired of black seats thats why I went with the ram longhorn with saddle and brown leather.

2019 Ford Edge St Vs 2020 Ford Explorer St
Lance Hondrade no, the explorer has a 5.5 0-60 while the edge is at 5.7... the explorer sport was at 5.7
Soooo.... thats saying something
💀
Did you really expect a 5k pound vehicle to drive with the same characteristics of the focus st? Drive the Sport and the ST back to back and you will see there is a pretty significant difference. I also think if you're going review how it drives you should drive it more than around the block while you're making the video. I'm sure your viewers would have liked to see you push it hard on the highway and in the turns. I agree 52k isn't cheap but the Jeep SRT is 70k. True the SRT will out perform it but it will also eat a lot more fuel and 20k is 20k and at the end of the day they are just SUVs
r d Yes this is the problem they drive it like old ladies! If you want to see it’s true colors you have to push it and they will see that it can eat curves like bread!
rd, why r u blaming idiots like this father and his son? Lol
He drove it like a pansie. That was not a good review. The Edge St is amazing!
0-60 is under 6 sec.
$2700.00 for those brakes. What a joke.
For the wheels, tires and brakes... and that's if you pay sticker which you never would
More than just the brakes. Tire too. A great upgrade .
It should be called a Sport, not ST. It’s a cruiser, not a performance car.
I dunno. 355 HP in a tiny crossover?
I Cruiser would be ride and luxury focused. It should have been called the Touring, Touring Crossover or Touring Cruiser but not Sport Touring. Ford reserves GT for rear wheel drive based chassis and this is no GT.
Still a really great car. I drove this and the Blazer and the Ford is more substantial. It’s more than just weight.
It's not even a car...
Crossovers are cars...
Hey I'm eating my words Tom is great! I love his reviews sometimes you gotta give people a chance
Ford is just using their ST badge to sell another $50k mom-mobile grocery getter. The badge stopped meaning anything once they decided to ax the focus & fiesta, which were truly fun cars with great handling and manual transmissions. This move is another example of an OEM destroying an enthusiast brand to cater to the lowest common denominator in the name of sales. I cant wait till the mustang is a small 4 door crossover...
Ford Edge became discontinued in the UK for low sales. Let that sink in for a minute.
Next time actually drive it before you give it a review. It's Awesome. Pathetic Review!
I think you are wrong about this one. I worked for a Ford dealership and when we got these they were freaking crazy fun. We all freaking raved about it. It was so much fun to drive.
Totally Wrong!
Waiting on the Excursion ST
With a twin turbo, dual port/direct injected 7.3L V8 combined with 4 electric motors from the Aviator.
For that price you should get 2.
Tom Waznis they are discounted down to 32k
only worth 32k in the first place
Tom Waznis I love people like you. Why worry about the price? Do you cast shade on luxury car owners because of the price tag? What about premium booze drinkers? I’m sure you are a great guy but why mention the price of something?
Yeah, two feet up your ass,Tom. It is the near perfect truck.
💯 😂
He took his foot off the gas too soon you need to floor it so you can see how fast that Ford edge St is
That was not a test drive. Sad. They are awesome!
I find it weird you say this. The ST was never that special, the focus st was slow, the Fiesta st was slow. Hell this is faster than both of them and it handles very well for an SUV.
I hate when companies try to use the performance editions in crossovers.....it’s not a track car and if went on the track the high center of gravity would flip.....ST, M, AMG I could go on and on these name plates only should be on performance CARS
Lol compared to a 2700 lb car with a turbo 4cylinder and a standard or a 75,000 bmw x3 m ! Wow fellas good comparison ! Food for thought nobody buys cars for msrp i seen these new edge's ST for sale around 36,000 . I seen one just like this one for 42,000 .
You guys should talk more about actual performance, specifications, cost, etc., and less about how it "feels."
You can look up spec sheets to get performance metrics and cost. That takes 2 seconds. Videos SHOULD cover the subjective. 🤦♂️
@@alexs3187 I like the videos where they compare actual performance against manufacturers claims. When they prattle on endlessly about how things "feel," it makes them sound like they should be co-hosting The View instead. Perhaps you would prefer watching The View, but that's not what I come to automotive channels on youtube for.
Brian Hnatiak nice projection there, as you must be constantly thinking about The View. It’s not something I ever give any thought to. These guys do a great job, despite your stupid comments.
So strange to see someone say it is a straight line vehicle. It handles awesomely and has been proven to run down Focus STs on road courses. It definitely shines most in the turns and nothing on the market in its price range can compete.
0-60 6sec? That’s bad for that many hp and torque lol I taught it was way faster
It's 5.7 seconds. The gearing is really stupid, should easily do it in 5.2 seconds it better
Here in Nashville, pretty much all of the new Edge's I've seen have been ST's. I'd say roughly 80-90%.
I've noticed the same thing in Michigan.
I want the focus ST or fusion sport wagon, not a crossover... trash
Dirty Harry How?
I think the new Edge st looks amazing. I haven’t driven one but the 2.7 V6 is great and fun in my 17’ fusion
I just spent $52K for a $56.5K MSRP Lincoln Nautilus in Reserve trim with the same 2.7 liter turbo engine and all options. For about the same money, it is much more luxurious and better styled than the Ford Edge ST, both inside and out. It also has the adaptive suspension that is surprisingly useful in adjusting the driving experience. Clearly, the Lincoln is delivers better value than the Ford. I am thoroughly enjoying my Lincoln, but I wouldn’t call it sporty.
Except the edge st is like mid to low 30’s right now with dealer incentives. Not even close in price.
I love the Lincoln but it really isn't even close in price. For the same price of the Lincoln I could have gotten an Audi SQ5. Both are not in my budget and it would have been a hard choice since I don't trust Audi for more than a 3 year lease and the Lincoln would be significantly down on performance compared.
Good review, being a fusion owner I found I'm going to look for a Fiesta as is affordable, it has an st and a hatch. I'm still mad that Ford and GM got out if affordable vehicles. Everyone cannot afford a truck or SUV. I see Hyundai or Tata in my future.......
You're not alone. There will be a backlash over swapping to SUV and trucks for primary vehicles. Kia and Hyundai are killing it. I'd take a Genesis G70 TT V6 over a BMW 3 or 5 series any fricken day. Luxury for days and power to match it with the AWD system BMW uses for their xDrive tucked under it.
This review sucked! You never gave it a chance or really had anything nice to say about it
Wow that is expensive.
I think I like it. Especially the 2.7 Ecoboost. I’m just like you body wise Roman. Tall, long torso. Can’t stand that design. Wha’?! $52k! Thanks for that last look, Tommy. I like the looks, but agree, I wouldn’t buy.
To expensive for what one gets
Outdated mechanics and needs a big dash refresh, get rid of the thick infotainment bezels and thick plastic dash design.
I'd rather have a Honda CR-V for half the price.
Cliff Warren, hope you want the LX, as other models have the problematic T-1.5L...
Cliff Warren you mean Honda Passport. The passport same size as Edge. The Honda CR-V is like a Ford Escape .
Why does every Ford and Lincoln SUV and car have a nearly identical looking dashboard? It's not even that good looking. :s
Most if not all car companies has corporate or across the board dashboard layouts, part et cetera.
Since when did you see a Lincoln interior? They are very different. Read before writing things that show you are a complete ignorant!
@@benven2161 The newest models are different. Finally. For awhile many of the Lincolns had a similar Ford style interior. Cheap and bland looking.
palebeachbum So why are you taking about the old model?
@@benven2161 This is a brand new $52k 2019 Edge ST with the same tired, cheap interior.
they only needed to take a few turns to wind up in the everglades a few miles away down there. 84f must have been early in the morning. i'm north of there, but they have edge ST's on lots around here with msrp's in the mid 40's that are discounted down in the mid 30's. i don't see them as a bad deal in that price range.
coelho sports, I've only been on vacation in SoFL (last time was like 10 years back), but it sounds to me Ford loaned them that Edge ST in Aventura, the higher-income town on the Dade-Broward border (not far from FL's largest mall Of the same name). Those streets over there tend to go mostly in a circle and there's not terrible amount of traffic outside the nearby of the mall.
Could be wrong, though... Some local would clarify.
BTW, the Edge's problem is the same as the Fusion from where it was based (also on the Regal TourX wagon): it was made from a too heavy platform to begin with. If the Fusion came about -200-300lbs. it would've be a whole different story, even with the EB'd 2.7 (same engine as the Fusion Sport, but with a slight more kick to it), which do have on paper the right numbers, but have to carry a platform that's not nimble enough for the size.
@@syxepop "Could be wrong, though... Some local would clarify." i think i said i live here in my post. they're on marco island on my side of florida. i've been to aventura on the other side several times and all around dade, broward, palm beach, and all up the atlantic coast, not just driving but stopping and doing things and staying overnight, etc. in the beginning they mentioned the mileage they were getting, so they probably drove alligator alley to get there. i've lived down here about 15 years now. the sticker price they showed is way too high but like i said, in lots around where i live a little north you can get them discounted in the mid $30's. real world pricing would make me consider one. i would prefer the explorer but those are overpriced in my opinion. i would almost be tempted to buy a used explorer from the government in 5 years with 60k miles or so.
coelho sports, thanks! I appreciate that you correct me (not everybody does that). And yeah, that part of SW FL seems the kind of "sightseeing kind of place" automakers would send the press to "test" (Really?) their cars under their conditions.
Even as Explorers are as a percentage a lesser sell to fleets lately I'd figure you can probably find an ex-lease Explorer ST or up line Aviator (w/the more powerful EB'd 3.0L) for quite cheap (40-50% of original MSRP) in as soon as 2-2.5 years, as Explorers (by their "lack of heavydutiness", just ask most cops) doesn't historically tend to hold their value well at all...
@@syxepop yeah i have bought cars at federal auctions before and if you are patient you can find good deals. my brother got an F-150 4x4 from department of interior with lift kit, winch, grippy tires, and other add-ons with relatively low miles and no body rust or damage for a very good price but he searched for months to get it. i guess i keyed into the location in this vid more than most would because there are things i noticed but are hard to describe about this area. the gulf coast of florida is different from the atlantic coast. the beaches and surf and streets and landscaping and buildings all look slightly different. i clicked full screen and saw a marco sign on the front of one condo place of the left side of the first street and some other clues to where it was. i have a relative in naples not too far away.
I love reading the comments from Debbie Downers. If you want a sports car buy a sports car but don’t compare a tricked out SUV to a sports car or a muscle car. The Edge ST and soon to be Explorer ST allow people to drive an SUV, with all the advantages, and yet still has some fun. It will never be a Mustang or a Hell Cat 😂. Love it for what it is a fun daily driver SUV.
All you people whining should try driving an electric car. I know, I know it doesn’t have the same sound as bad ass V8 but they are fun to drive.
Matt O’Mite I know and your statement makes sense. However discontinuing 2 great hot hatches and calling the SUVs a replacement is a straight up insult to the enthusiasts. Comparing hatches to SUVs is like comparing apples to oranges. Yes I like the concept of an ST model of the Edge but don’t make that the replacement of the Focus ST and Feista ST
Perfectly Balanced Video killed the radio star too but it is what it is. Life killed the hatchback. Society moves on and decided it wants SUVs. In my lifetime I’ve watched minivans kill the station wagon and small hatchbacks kill gas guzzling V8 cars.
There are lots of used ST hatchbacks to make anyone happy. Same thing if you are wanting an old station wagon 😂
I rather have a full size car, not every one wants a SUV or a crossover. Since Ford is no longer doing Ford Taurus, my alternative in a few years is either the Maxima or the Avalon.
Yea no thanks...I'll hold onto my Focus ST and then buy from another manufacturer for my next car. Putting the ST badge on this and thinking that enthusiasts in the US would be satisfied is just dumb. The rest of the world gets to enjoy the new Fiesta and Focus ST and we're stuck with this...
Fun fact: the Edge was axed in the UK for low sales.
Now, we know what we are dealing with.
thatredmanguy x_X they are still on sale here !
Roman drives literally 10 feet:
“This is where it all falls apart in my mind” 😂😂😂😂 couldn’t agree more Roman. Call it anything but ST.
This guy seemed to be having fun in it. ruclips.net/video/y-skWU_wknc/видео.html
Painfully true for anyone who owns/leases them. Its a solid car but they didnt go far enough. A 3.5 or 5.0 wouldve been hard. I wonder if like even an etorque thing could work.
Ugh idk does Lincoln Corsair have a sport / performance trim like Caddy does with CTS,CT5 XT5?
Maybe I'll get an ecoboost premium mustang?!
Love you guys. Is Nathan okay? Haven’t seen him in a while
Hey Roman! I actually have to disagree with you on space in the driver's seat of the new Edge ST. I have driven my grandparents new Edge and I am 6' 5", pretty evenly split between legs and torso, and I find it very comfortable when the seat is lowered all the way, put all the way back, and slightly reclined. It's a personal opinion and I respect that, I just wanted to post this so prospective buyers are not totally turned off by your comment about it being cramped when you're 6' 2" to 6' 3". Again, 6' 5" here and I can comfortably drive it when I'm not plastered back in the seat because of the power😁
The tech may not be equal but if you look at the engine stats.... the hp and torque are almost identical to the Audi Q8 which is double the cost of the Edge here in Canada when fully loaded up. Plus.... 5 to 7 years in when you decide to sell both cars, you won't take near the shit-kicking on the Ford's resale as you will on the Audi. Not to mention, the Ford won't have $500 oil changes once a year! Can you tell I had prepped myself to buy an Audi and changed my mind? Haha
People in general do not share the reviewers point of view about the ST because the ST is the one that we see the most on the road! In fact it was base on it’s success that Ford could figure how well the Explorer ST will be received! canada.autonews.com/automakers/ford-guarantees-20-take-rate-2020-explorer-st-canada
Tune it and coolair it. The ST is still trying to meet epa regs, guys. Yea yea, warranty schwarranty. Have fun or don't buy lease it.
Never liked ford infotainment in fords 2009 and today looked the same even the new one looks like they were using windows 1.0 to make lol
I’m fine with it just being a Sport instead of an ST. I’m looking for a quick not plain midsize suv.
Edge is a good crossover but just doesn't deserve the st badge. It should've been called the edge sport just like before
Well we can thank all of the soccer moms for this. Stop buying crossovers, you're killing off all of the good cars.
dsparke93 I completely agree. This is why the choices in automotive world are becoming so boring. 👎
Or, people who want to be practical in performance, insurance and comfort wanted something nice to drive. There are plenty of fun cars to be had, why troll the crossover segment?
You can actually thank the government. SUVs were exempt from the fuel economy nonsense so automakers just said. Okay let's do that
i like the look of all the models Edge since it comes out.... but will not buy one... to many bad reviews... can check youtube....
Never base your judgment on others opinions or point of view.
@@benven2161 when the Edge shuts off on you on a busy highway and they video it man... and it happened to tons of people... just saying...
JOHNJOHN 9111 it’s not a rule. I owned 9 Ford (cars and SUV) never experience that king of things. This is why I don’t give credit to comments.

It's a Ford Edge you buy this one you kick your brother-in-law's butt. Or friend or whatever the case may be.
The rotary gear selector sucks. They could have redesigned and lowered the profile of the shift lever if they wanted to make more "room" but that dial looks stupid and out of place.
This crossover won’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the ridiculous price tag
Why would you expect a dodge steering wheel in a Ford? That is a rather moronic expectation.
Theres so much crap plastic for a 52k car
No fun, you say? Try this in a Honda Passport and let me know how it goes. ruclips.net/video/y-skWU_wknc/видео.html

I love the Focus RS vs the Focus ST
Ess Tea
I would argue GT is ford performance over ST. GT began in the 60's ST was late 90's maybe??.....
ST has a longer history in Europe. They were always special cars. The biggest engine that fits, with more power, and the suspension and brakes to go with it. Hot hatches. It's a totally different car from the base model. It's like the difference between a base Challenger and a Challenger SRT8. They look similar, but they're very different cars.
It's got some style, but the materials used are so cheap.
why is the old one so rough with the cars thats so not decent
Vehicle driven to the test. Nice interior and exterior I like. However, despite the 238 hp in the car feels nothing progress. The acceleration behavior is significantly worse than comparable Mercedes, BMW or Audi with almost 60 hp less! In addition, it rappels in many places (dashboard right, crackling combi instrument, rattling B-pillar near underbody). And you can hear that even when the radio is on. Squealing the brakes in a vehicle that has driven nearly 2000km, is also not normal. Very high ad-blue consumption. In addition, the vehicle has probably been taken out of the production line. In any case, according to information from Ford as of July 2019, the vehicle will not be built until November 2019. What's going on there??
WHO "KISSED" A CURB ON THE DRIVERS SIDE?
My guess is Tommy🤣
As far as the new fangeled gear shifts, I, personally, like the direction we're taking with them. Stick shift should still be an option as far as sport level vehicles go. I've heard that even the military has started to get rid of manual transmission vehicles and replacing them with automatics.
I don't you guys think are the best auto journalist out there, when it comes to Ford I don't think you guys
I don't think you guys are the best auto journalist out there when it comes to Ford products, I think you're vary unfair when it comes to Ford try being honest.
Its a nice car, but 50k plus for a crossover, i just don't see it being worth it! Would much rather go for a Chevy Equinox which you can get in the very low 30s at the end of the year, and that is for the premier with all the bells and whistles! And it's also much better on fuel economy!!! Just don't see why i would spend 52k or more on this little crossover!🤷♀️
Good video, I agree with most of your observations. I think it's a cool SUV and I'm halfway considering getting one, but only if I can get a good deal on one. As cool as it is in some aspects it's certainly not worth the price tag.
Great review men . Have fun visiting Grandma!
Giving up my 2015 Dodge Charger and looking for a performance SUV. I need some more space and want to sit up higher but i still need that speed in my life. Anybody got any suggestions? Currently headed toward the Chevy Blazer RS.
In my opinion the Ford Edge ST could have been better, there were a lot of compromises, *Ford used the ”ST” badge to market the vehicle,* than producing a Ford Performance Crossover, a lot different from just “Sport” so I’m not just excepting that it’s not what it could have been.
Ford definitely should be held accountable
I’m not hating, *just disappointed*
Do a heads up race between the Edge St and Explorer ST.. but get an Edge St that has the latest ECU flash they just fixed the shifting and tuned it more aggressively because of all the bad press. TSB 19-2313 changes everything.
I can think of a lot more places where I can spend $52K. Granted, it's the sticker so there's some room there work the sale price down but some dealer's will use the "ST" badge to minimize the discount. To be honest I don't know if I would even want to rent it. It's not a bad vehicle but not for the sticker price.
It needs a new dash, leather with stitched accent colors. It needs a performance cluster, not something like that... Nice gauges or a nice immersive digital dash. New center stack. That looks like it came out of a 03' Grand Caravan. Lets get some metal or solid heavy buttons. Just all of it... blah.
It annoys me that they keep talking about the damn Fiesta. We get it you loved that. But comparing a small performance hatchback to a crossover is asinine just like comparing a Model 3 to an SUV.
That being said other than those gripes still a decent review.
