  • The ALL NEW 2019 Ford Edge is here. In the highly contested SUV market has Ford done enough to the Edge to make it a stand out? Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged engine pumping out 250 HP mated to the NEW 8 speed automatic gearbox. With a revised exterior and interior to match is the 2019 Edge the SUV to buy?

    I have had 2 Edges--both great cars. Never a problem either even though I had one for 125k miles. Well built with great leg room front and rear as well as a lot of cargo space. Took some long trips. The seats are very comfortable and the interior quiet. Very solid feel as well.

And since I do have a permit and he lets me drive and when driving, I think it drives very smooth and comfortable. I love driving it and I also love the features it has. He said he would give it to my mom his 2012 Chevy Equinox LTZ since she has a 2004 Ford Taurus SE lol. That vehicle got problems and now we can do stuff while he's at work without worrying about her car.

    I bought a new Edge SEL (AWD) in 2019, have had it almost 4 years now, has 40,000 miles. This is an outstanding vehicle. 40,000 trouble free miles. Solid, no interior squeaks or rattles. 25mpg typical suburban driving, 32mpg on highway. I live in Wisconsin, it is as good in the snow as the Jeeps that I have owned. Mine has extremely comfortable cloth seats. Very roomy inside, my right knee does not bump against the center stack. Engine is quiet and very powerful, can easily be going 80mph by the end of any freeway entry ramp.

    Raitt's Rides, you're right about the edge, it does have some umpth, we traded in our 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE V6, and every time we throttle up it seemed like the transmission hesitated and then it finally powered up they're not like that at all, Toyota Transmissions must be that way first Toyota SUV we ever owned and probably won't own one never again, so we bought a 2020 Ford Edge St 2.7 EcoBoost colorstar White, and no hesitation in the transmission and the power is very satisfied, and no regrets we love our Edge St.

    Just traded my 2013 Edge for 2019. I bought the 2013 in 2018 and it only had 72000 miles and when I traded it in it only had 80000 but 2 years in too ownership the transmission was slipping, and the backup camera was hit and miss and on the inside some of the buttons on the steering wheel were sticking. I kind of felt with no more miles it had on it too many issues. I wised up on my 2019 Ford Edge purpose. My 2019 is fully loaded with just about every option. it was a lease vehicle and only has 58000 and this time I purchased a 7-year warranty which leave me worry free now for as long as I plan to own it anyway.

    This is nice for the masses, lots of power, and almost as fast as my 84 GN at half the engine size, which brings me to the point that the engine sits so low, at first glance, it looks like it is missing, and you could fit an adult on top of the engine under the hood. For performance people like us that saw, and/or drove the ST, it is definitely lacking, but of course you're talking about $20K more for the loaded ST. Personally, not including the ST, and that price range, I imagine the new 2019 Honda Passport Elite AWD is nicer, has more power and off road capability, and a lot more, but it doesn't mean this is bad by any means. I know it will sell very well.

    Great video and camera work. So many other features you could touch on. Just picked up my 2019 SEL with 201A group, cold weather package ( I'm in NY ), Ford co-pilot 360 assist, convenience package, and Vista roof. Sticker after equipment group savings 41,280 Traded my 2016 Titanium with 21,700 miles, loved that car but wanted more toys. Wanted the collision, lane, adapt cruise, etc etc. Lot's of great stuff and had to move since there was 3,500 cash backs. Checked out the Titanium trim but honestly not worth the extra bucks to me for what you get. Titanium has ambient lighting, memory drivers seat and mirrors, and 19" wheels, nothing much else other than the across the back tai-lighting. The only thing I will miss is the memory seats, my SEL has all needed including remote start. Even that is better as built in modem etc so smart phone Ford Pass app can now start car none line of sight via phone. Also report gas level, tire pressure to phone. Not that important to me but hey, toys, he who dies with the most wins!
    I loved my 2016 and looks I will love my 2019 even more!!! Fix little things that I missed in 2016. They added fog lights, great! They added a button to turn off Traction Control, before had to do it in settings. Default is on and we have snow here, sometimes you need to shut it down to power through.
    Small like, not so much. Well maybe not that small, the Start and Stop engine. Obviously something they had to do probably to meet MPG government stuff. I'll admit works well so far, often turns off engine at stoplight, restarts engine immediately when you lift foot off brake. A little disconcerting to me, not so much in operation but more mentally thinking of the wear and tear on engine. Plus a lot of computer stuff added as well as heavy duty battery and alternator. Thankfully easy button push to disconnect, located right by transmission dial BUT on by default every start up. The front A posts still very thick obscures some vision when turning. The cargo deck come with the great cutout storage areas under the deck. Old one had a little plastic hook to stick on rim to hold it up, gone? Now hold it up with one arm or pull it off entirely, deck just sits on top. Tiny thing but was real convenient. Now will have to make something up.
    Bottom line, I love the EDGE!!

      Can you permanently turn off the start/stop?

    • @georgehny
      @georgehny 5 лет назад

      @@peacevalleyforagers Sadly NO! I imagine that here will be ways to do so using over-rides or whatever in future but I wouldn't do anything like that. Too much technology and controlling computers involved. I will also say that start and stop is everything I knew I would hate before I had it. BUT there is GOOD news, the start/stop is easy enough to deactivate via push button very conveniently located on the center console behind the gear dial. It becomes second nature quickly to simply start car then hit deactivate button. Should you fail at start you can deactivate it anytime during your drive. I don't like it because although admittedly instantaneous startup when you left foot off brake, I do still notice a little bump, almost feels like a tiny misfire. Also although everything still runs like AC etc when stops, I can feel that AC becomes less effective. We have not even hit really hot weather yet. I am positive I will never get used to nor like start/stop. Interesting if you set the left screen instrument/info center to one of the mpg info areas it will indicate start/stop condition, activated, engine stopped or ( the interesting part ) why you are at stop and engine has continued to run. Indicates things like battery requires charging, grade too steep, all kinds of things system monitors, coolant temp, on and on. Honestly quite a system but matters not, I still dislike it but got used to turning it off. It was/is not a deal breaker on this car.
      What I may never get used too!!! That dial transmission gear selector. I find that I have still to pay attention to making sure put it in park, look when want reverse, etc even after months and miles I have used car. Though having dial instead of shift lever really cleans up console nicely I would stil rather have the lever. Maybe just me and over half a century of having one?

    Don't know if I'm sitting on the "edge" with this model, but it is interesting none-the-less. Now for a "few" question & comment bullets. lol
    1. So the SEL is the base model?
    2. Is the front license plate holder removable without leaving holes in the bumper?
    3. Are Chrome wheels available?
    4. I like the twin hood shocks instead of a fold away support arm.
    5. A column shifter and a key? Come on Ford.
    6. Since the SUVs are so popular, I'd like to see the manufactures have a hidden rear hatch wiper blade. The one on this edge is huge.
    7. Where did they hide the passenger side air bag?
    8. Will the back seats fold absolutely flat, or will they be at a slight incline?
    9. Over the infotainment system, there appears to be a lid of some sort. If so, what's it hiding?
    10. You did mention towing capacity. So where does a tow hitch go? Hanging down from the rear bumper in that I didn't see any hidden plate for same? Hmmm.
    Ultimately, great review Joe.
