Thanks for watching! What are you thoughts on the Ford Edge? Let me know below 👍 Check out the Edge ST on Forrest’s Auto Reviews Channel: ruclips.net/video/dULThl3CUdQ/видео.html ** I apologize for the rough audio at times and loud background noise. That will be fixed next video! I appreciate your support!
Edge is a solid vehicle in my experience. I own a 2009 with 190k, no major issues still runs like a champ. With this dependability in mind, I just bought an Edge ST and absolutely love it!! Took me a couple of days to get used to the dial shifter, but now I actually prefer it to the manual shifter. Let’s face it, most if not all vehicles will come with either dial or push button trans in the future. I test drove just about everything in the midsize CUV market and went with the Edge ST with all the bells and whistles. Wanted a family hauler with some umph. And believe me it’s got some umph! It may be a little pricier, but that doesn’t bother me at all. Great review brother, just sub’d.
Very nice video, good job. I like the body style . This is a nice in between SUV, not to small, not to big. It's going to be near the top of my list of new SUV to possible buy this coming year.
Nice to see you review the Edge. We got 2 2016’s in the other day and I must say I was very impressed with them. Major step up from the ‘07-‘14. They ride great. One has the EcoBoost and one has the V6. Both are pretty impressive, but the V6 seemed to have the edge in my opinion. Overall they seem very solid and substantial. I like the new front end for 2019. Ford stuffed a whole lotta stuff in this thing as well. I’d still rather have a traditional shift lever over the rotary knob though. I have used the parking assist in an Escape, but I imagine it works the same in the Edge. Overall it worked very well. It was able to parallel park and back itself into a regular spot. You control the transmission and the brake. It controls the steering and tells you what gear to have it in and when to brake. It was very easy to use. Great review man! Oh and that ST....do it. Get it!
I’ll be doing the Ranger in a week or 2 (I think). Once again I feel the same way you do lol. I wish they kept the V6 but that’s how things are going.. Interesting to hear about the parking assist, I’ll have to demo that next time lol. Thanks for your continued support and Happy New Year!
No problem Nolan. Glad to support your channel. I missed you mentioning the V6 is gone. It’s a shame, but you’re right. The times are a changing. The EcoBoost had good get up and go, but the V6 had a slight edge IMO. Weird, because I’d take an EcoBoost any day in the F-150. I liked these so much, I told my sister to check these out in addition to the Forester. She had an ‘07 Edge and loved it. Anyways, looking forward to the Ranger review. I’ve heard the EcoBoost in those are quite entertaining. Happy New Year to you as well!
Thanks for the review I currently have a 16 Edge on lease I don’t think the changes are enough to make me circle around back to another Edge after I turn mine in
Prime Autotainment I’m very lucky that i live right outside Detroit so I will be headed to the Auto Show to help me make a decision on which ones I would do a road test Right now I’m leaning towards the Aviator or Explorer
Nive review, thanks! BTW, Ford started to sell this car in Europe and it comes only with 2.0 diesel engines. Also, there are a special version of each Ford car called Vignale which adds a little bit luxurious inside (like covering the dash with leather)
Yes that’s correct! It defaults back to on, so after every time you start the vehicle you’d have to turn it off. I’ve heard of work-arounds to allow you to disable it permanently, but I’m not sure exactly how. I hate it too!
I really enjoy your reviews, and I know that all the auto reviewers are somewhat limited by what the dealerships want them to review, and subsequently provide, but I wish that the "RUclips" reviewers would review trim levels that more realistically reflect what most people will end up purchasing. Many of these "Platinum//Elite/Limited" type vehicles, are not representative of what a lot of these models look, feel, and drive like in the lower trim levels. Rant over...thanks for your good work, it's appreciated!
Thanks David! I know what you mean. I get a lot of people asking the same thing. Sometimes the dealerships are ok with me showing any trim...if it’s brand new and redesigned usually they want too trim lol. Press vehicles are another story. Those are almost always the most expensive lol. Occasionally not. I’ll continue to grab random trims from dealers if I’m able! Thanks for the support!
@@PrimeAutotainment Thanks, Nolan, for your kind reply...I know there are factors beyond your and other reviewers control. I especially like your reviews because they always seem to be really objective. Many reviewers seem to interject too much of their personal preferences and likes/dislikes into their reviews. There also seems to be this sport of making fun of any cars/suv's that aren't fast off the line, or good in the curves. You present a very level unemotional picture of what a particular vehicle will be like and drive like. Thanks, again for your great reviews.
Nice review! I like the evolution of the edge. I certainly think it will please conservative Ford buyers. I personally prefer other looks, but if you’re a ford guy, this is a step in the right direction to being more competitive. The only flaw I see is the pricing, as Ford’s real benefit from a reliability standpoint is good quality control for their suvs & trucks. I am still not convinced that American cars are good buys, in any segment except perhaps trucks. Overlooking that though, this has become more desirable! I like the simplicity - it just needs massive rebates & discounts!
Verns The Man thank you! I agree with you. I was thinking about that pricing and at the dealer they already had some discounts in these things. MSRP was close to $45 but I think it was priced closer to 40 if I remember right. Especially considering improvements in the compact class, especially the new turbo Mazda at a lower price. Sad by true in American cars..thanks for watching! 😁
Thank you! I don’t believe so...I haven’t seen anything saying it does and didn’t see it. I’ve heard of some vehicles having that but I don’t think so...sorry I can’t say for sure!
0:48 what exactly does Ford mean by “bi-led headlights”?? Are they true led headlights? I wonder why Ford just doesn’t say the vehicle has LED lights? “Bi-led” sounds like they’re putting an asterisk next to the term “bi-led headlights”. Please explain this term to me. Short version please 😀
Sorry I should have just said itthe easy way anyway...it means both the high and low beams are LED. Some companies say LED headlights but it’s only the low beams. These are full LED 👍
Great review Nolan, I just subscribed. Keep up the good work. I am actually looking for an SUV for business/personal use. if you can get your hands on a ford explorer to review that would be fantastic.
Thank you, Julien! Very cool..I’m actually planning to review one soon. The next ford they want me to do is the Ranger but after that I should be able to get an Explorer! I’m excited to see the 2020 redesign coming up soon too. I appreciate it very much!
I see you’re in dfw. I’m located in Arlington. I have a channel (no content). Was wondering on what to do or some advise on how to get started. Not sure what to do etc...
Steven Walker hey neighbor. Starting out is the hardest part but that’s all you gotta do...just start. Start with anything. Get some content up somehow. If you want to do automotive like this, do your own vehicle, someone else’s car..anything. The DFW auto show is coming this spring and you could walkaround those cars as a start
Prime Autotainment awesome. Thanks. I’ll probably attend the auto show. It’s been 2 years since I went. I had gone every years since like 05 or so. All I have to record on is my iPhone. Lol
This doesn't have the elite package. It's missing the unique elite package grille, the reddish/brown (brunillo) seat and door inserts as well as the chromed 20" wheels that come on the elite package. This is a Tatinium with the 301A package with optional 20" wheels.
John Arnott I thought it sounded really nice. It has the 12 speaker system from B&O and I know I liked it. Didn’t get to spend a lot of fine with it or compare it to other Edge sound systems like the 6 or 9 speaker setups...but it seemed to have a nice full sound
Am I the only one that hates the fact that auto start defaults to the on status? I really wish it would default off and you had to turn it on if you wanted to use it.
Thanks! Usually this dealer washes it before hand but idk why it wasn’t this time and I only have limited time with it. With the press cars I always wash them at home but sorry about this one!
It's very nice but I'd prefer the Lincoln Nautilus because of the front grill. I was looking at one recently on the showroom floor of my local Ford dealer. The sticker was $56,500, so I'm thinking not too much more than the edge. My other preference would be the Chevy Premier Blazer which in my opinion looks more elegant than the edge. Have you reviewed the Lincoln Nautilus or the Chevy Blazer Premier yet?
Really like the key fob, looks classy and durable. Overall, I think this a handsome suv, always thought so, even with the earlier visions. However, I can't help but feel that the appeal of this vehicle will be overshadowed with the introduction of a dial trans shifter. Wth is wrong with a traditional shifter?!!!
It feels like it is! I’m not sure what the deal is with that either lol. The bigger expedition even has it now. I prefer traditional shifters too but it seems like these types of things are the future..even the Ram truck has a disk shifter, Honda has buttons lol...craziness
Right?! Idk, I guess I'm just a traditionalist, with everything going digital, it just seems that the traditional shifter is the last thing on the vehicle you can get a true feel from in terms and maintain some sense of control.
When the Edge is started up 5:17 it makes that very annoying tone. I sincerely hope Ford takes it away, shortens it, or changes it. It sounds really dated.
If it has an 8F35 Transmission don't buy it. I have one and it bucks and surges at low speeds and they won't do anything to fix it. Says it's normal...not normal!
Prime Autotainment Yeah it is very sad because I mean me personally, I don’t like turbos. They’re fun and their psh psh sound is nice but I like the reliability of the NA engines and I like the grumble of NA V8s like the Hemi!
I feel the same way. I enjoy the true feeling of a NA engine too. Sadly I think a lot of regular consumers wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference if someone didn’t point it out to them lol. Same with a CVT or regular Auto I appreciate hearing from you and thanks for watching!
Not everyone watches every part...and if I don’t say it in the front seat and back seat..people bitch. If I say it both places...people bitch. Can’t please everyone can ya

I owned a 2007 and a 2013 Edge. Great cars. Never had any issues and drove one of them to 195k. Engine ran like new never using oil.
That’s awesome, I love to hear that!

That’s awesome and I hope you continue to enjoy that Edge ST! Sounds like a fun vehicle. Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it! 👍
Currently have a 2008 definitely going to upgrade to the 2019 after watching this
How many miles? Any issues with it? Thinking about getting one and keeping it til the wheels fall off
This is very nice! The Edge has always been jazzy and edgy! I love it 😎
This is great! I've been waiting for a thorough review of the new Edge. Nice work, Nolan!
Thanks man, glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
I actually think I would like the EDGE 🤔
I like the amount of storage and the panoramic roof.
Great review Nolan 👍
Thanks man! It’s a good blend of size, storage, features etc. a nice offering! Thanks for watching, happy New Year bud!
Very nice video, good job. I like the body style . This is a nice in between SUV, not to small, not to big. It's going to be near the top of my list of new SUV to possible buy this coming year.
Thanks, Robert! For sure, a perfect size SUV. That’s fun and good luck deciding which to get, thanks for watching!
The parallel parking is actually really good. I have it on a 15 edge, very quick and accurate
Glad to hear it, thanks!
If you want to open the sun roof all the way open to the center pillar you can push the button again and it will open farther
Thanks. Just bought a white one yesterday!!
That’s awesome, glad to hear it. Enjoy!
Parallel parking works perfect. Your back seats also recline
Looking for a vehicle, found this vehicle but SEL trim for 20k and test drove it and so far, I like this vehicle. Might buy it but not 100% sure
Great review Nolan. The Edge looks fabulous with good proportions. There are even a few on the narrow roads of Northern Ireland! :-)
Andrew K. NI thank you very much! I agree. That’s awesome! What are the most common vehicles there?
Hey man I'd most definitely like to see a review on the Edge ST!
Sounds good! I’m hoping to get one soon 😁👍. Thanks for watching!

Prime Autotainment I’m very lucky that i live right outside Detroit so I will be headed to the Auto Show to help me make a decision on which ones I would do a road test Right now I’m leaning towards the Aviator or Explorer
Wow that’s awesome, that’s fun! I like your taste...those both should be really nice and impressive
Had my edge for 2 and a half years Lv it ,folks like my ruby red finish
Thanks for your review and time . 😎 I just brought this vehicle.
Very nice! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your new ride 😁👍
Found one in Fallon NV today with 31,000 miles for $33,000. Is that’s a bad deal?
My little poor Escape Titanium is just missing the ventilating seats (only heat) and that awesome front camera; besides the obvious size difference. 😫
Nive review, thanks! BTW, Ford started to sell this car in Europe and it comes only with 2.0 diesel engines. Also, there are a special version of each Ford car called Vignale which adds a little bit luxurious inside (like covering the dash with leather)
Very cool, thanks for letting me know. I had. I idea about that diesel or the special versions. Thanks!
Nice review, but I definitely want to see the ST EDGE REVIEW
Thanks, sounds good I’m going to try to get one!
Base engine for the SEL, SE and titanium would be the 2.0 turbocharged eco boost. Except for the sport version which will have the eco boost V6
So, I would have the option to turn the Start/Stop off, right? I literally hate that function! ❤
Yes that’s correct! It defaults back to on, so after every time you start the vehicle you’d have to turn it off. I’ve heard of work-arounds to allow you to disable it permanently, but I’m not sure exactly how. I hate it too!
Does anyone know if the Black Agate is sparkly like previous blacks? Or is just black
I would love to see the ST. Especially at the Rockwall Ford again.
Better than the 2016 moon roof sold us. Cool 😎 going ons Ford

I have a 2014 edge limited best comfortable suv i owned great milage
Gas for the money.
exterior is super nice, interior is like still stuck in the 1990s
It looks very modern to me.

I have the ST and I love it even thou I am 6’3” tall
$45K and the tach looks like an afterthought.
i have the same car just in white the 2019 ford edge titanium elite
Am I the only one that hates the fact that auto start defaults to the on status? I really wish it would default off and you had to turn it on if you wanted to use it.
Bucks I’m with you, I hate it too! At least you can turn it off unlike the new Chevy Blazer...I hope they all don’t get like that
Everybody hates it. But who cares?
Fusion SUV basically
Post-collision braking?
If it senses you’ve been in a collision, it will hold brakes so vehicle doesn’t roll away or a scenario like that
Nice review but why on Earth can’t you clean the car before filming?
Thanks! Usually this dealer washes it before hand but idk why it wasn’t this time and I only have limited time with it. With the press cars I always wash them at home but sorry about this one!
Those are some nice looking headlights! Sporty family hauler.
For sure! Not bad at all for a 2 row mainstream suv!

With that trim level and no heated steering wheel is dumb
I know I expected it to be standard, but it’s only optional
When the Edge is started up 5:17 it makes that very annoying tone. I sincerely hope Ford takes it away, shortens it, or changes it. It sounds really dated.
I agree lol.
👍👍👍👍👍
It looks like a Buick Enclave.
I miss my climate control knobs in my Toyota.. What's with Ford and the push buttons
Eco boost motors only?, Sorry not going there!
Scotty Kilmer says don't buy one!
DrDennis77 I’m with Scotty!
You can also get a 3.5 Duratec V6 in these.
If it has an 8F35 Transmission don't buy it. I have one and it bucks and surges at low speeds and they won't do anything to fix it. Says it's normal...not normal!
Johnny B yes I have the same problem going back to the dealer on Thursday more BS not normal.
@@joedebono9473 Good luck Joe. Let me know how it turns out.
LOVE the looks. Hate the engine.
No kidding, i hear ya! I wish there was at least another option..
Prime Autotainment Right! Like a 3.5 V6 !
No kidding. It’s sad that a lot of engines are disappearing nowadays
Prime Autotainment Yeah it is very sad because I mean me personally, I don’t like turbos. They’re fun and their psh psh sound is nice but I like the reliability of the NA engines and I like the grumble of NA V8s like the Hemi!
I feel the same way. I enjoy the true feeling of a NA engine too. Sadly I think a lot of regular consumers wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference if someone didn’t point it out to them lol. Same with a CVT or regular Auto
