I can’t wait till we get a 70” tv for an infotainment screen.
You know it is coming soon.
A screen that covers the entire roof so you can lay down and watch tv as you eat buttered up popcorn fresh out the compartment they built into the engine 🔥
The whole dang windshield
Lmfao
On a 75" wide vehicle. 🤦♂️
Under rated car. Spent some time with my Explorer ST at the ST SUV experience in Asheville and these Edge STs were consistently setting faster autocross times than any of the Explorer STs.
I think they're easier to drive but the instructors in an Explorer ST set a faster time than any of us did in our Edge STs lol. We have much stiffer suspension (with the 21 inch wheels) vs the explorer ST so I think that's why we were setting better times vs the explorer owners. But again the instructor set a better time in his explorer ST, would have been interesting to see him do it in the Edge ST and see what kind of time he got
Love the Edge ST…hate the big ugly screen! Hate that there are no physical buttons for heat & air conditioning. I own a 2018 Ford Edge Sport with this engine rated at 315 HP it’s an excellent engine! Has 18,000 miles on it and it’s been an absolute pleasure to own/drive. The Edge will surprise you in all aspects of a vehicle…no matter what you consider great. The Edge Nails it!! #SimplyTheBest
Thank you! Today I bought a 2021 Edge ST. Decision was based on this video review alone. I always wanted a performance vehicle and this Edge ST does not disappoint especially at the price point. Of course I bought the most loaded, every option available model. Was very difficult to find however in NE Ohio. Cheers and Thank you for your reviews.
That is really awesome Kurt! Congrats on your new Edge ST!
As The Rock said, "Go big or go home."
The 2021 Edge ST now has a 7 speed automatic *
Great video Joe, my wife picked up the sel over the st. She liked the power of the st but the sel was more comfortable and rides smoother.
Congrats to your wife!
Great review everytime it's a ST review, I click right away. Love and miss Fords Sts. Ford bring them Back
That screen though! WOW LOL, didn’t expect that for this car, honestly. For the price point, I suppose it makes sense. Soon there will be a screen for a steering wheel, just wait lol!
I hope I am not around to witness that! LOL
@@RaitisRides same
Excellent presentation. Your enthusiasm is contagious. You sold me.
Hey Joe, I love this car! I'm a really big car enthusiast! I do like the vertical screen, I'm just not a fan of how the ac and heat are not actual buttons, but I could live with that. The thing though that I need on this car is ventilated seats, at $45,000 I need ventilated seats. My mom has a 2017 Ford Edge SEL and she loves it! I wouldn't mind having one of these though. I'm only 15 so I can't really buy a car right now but this car is one of my top 5!
Beautiful, thanks Joe, and the team.
Pretty cool SUV for someone that wants to stay under the radar but have a little fun here and there. Sweet review!
I think you nailed it on that description.
That screen looks so after thought. The entire Edge is just in need of a complete redesign on top of taking away all the hard buttons is a big no no.
Well they obviously don’t want to do a redesign for a car that’s gone next year
I agree
I hate all the useless buttons. I don't need 10 buttons for ventilation only to never change it anyways. set it to auto and done
Thanks man i starts my job at 5pm driving a 18 wheel truck. and waiting for your videos 🦾🦾 your are so funny 🤣
I have the conversions for the Edge ST:
Torque: 520Nm
Quarter mile measured at: 160kmh
Top speed: 212kmh
Maximum towing capacity: 1590kg
Weight: 2035kg
Fuel consumptions: 12.5l/100km in city, 9.43l/100km on highway
Boot capacity: 1109l with seats up, 2077l with seats down
Thanks for bringing the info Dave!
Now please just convert it to miles and feet for us Americans. Lol
@@awesomecatvideos4723 No need.
I like it Joe! it has a clean smooth look to it, I still think I would go for the Explorer ST , a little bit more power for my taste. Great video work Lori, love it 😎👍
No ventilated seats, and no remote start!! That's a double zone 4 me!!💥💥
You can absolutely remote start, either on the key fob (lock then double click 2x button) or through the ford app as well.
I looked at his fob again and it doesn’t have it, but I have a 22 Edge and it does so I guess they added it for 22.
This will be my first SUV!! Nice video Joe.
Really appreciate the detailed reviews. But as someone who is in the market for performance oriented SUV, it would be really helpful if you did videos comparing SUVs. Example: Acura MDX vs Genesis GV80 etc. Feel like your recommendations will really add value to prospective buyers such as myself
Love the large screen - it was a major pull for me, since it took so long for me to get over their exterior redesign (I also had a 2011 Ford Edge and loved that exterior design). Now I've warmed up to the newer exterior, but that large vertical screen in the middle. I do agree that I wish some of their screens took up the entire screen instead of just half, and hoping they can update that with tech software
I never thought I would care for any Ford other than F150 but they are steping up steadily.
3:28 DO NOT let your dealership install the front license plate bracket. If you want one, which you may not, install it yourself. I hate that they drill holes that are expensive to repair and are rarely even centered like this one is too far towards the driver's side. Huge pet peeve of mine!
AC controls is a killer for me. Great review like always
Looking at a 2023 Edge ST in the same color. This will mark the 4th Edge for me (2008, 2011, 2018) and I am not happy that Ford is killing off this vehicle. They are the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned (even more than the Nissans I had in the past).
I just bought a 2023 Edge SE. It's iconic silver with the black appearance package. My wife and I love it. We went from a Honda CRV and it feels like a quantum leap.
Joe, we gotta get you some snacks endorsements🤣
Auxiliary banana holder, I chuckled like GW Bush. Keep doing it man! Great reviews!
Good I’ve been waiting for this
Just took mine to the Lost Coast , CA - craaaaaazy curvy roads if you come up the coast all the way- total blast! Saw many super car clubs but they looked so little, short and cramped- oh also had 3 people and all the gear for camping no prob. Thats exactly what this thing is for.
Thanks for sharing that Philo!
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯 👍
I believe what makes the 2021 Edge ST different from the 2020 is Ford actually made a 7 speed transmission from the 8 speed from last year. They actually deactivated one of the gears making it a 7 speed! This was their answer to all the complaints of the crappy 8 speed auto from the 2020 ST. How did this drive differently?
Go White Sox! That comment about Michael Jordan just made my day.😂 Good review Joe! 🙌
Nice SUV.....I'm sure FORD will sell every ST they can make....Great video Joe and Lori.
Thanks Mike for ;letting me share it with you!
Great car! They just need to dial it down a bit with the massive control screen and instead give us a full digital gage cluster
I was waiting on the Twinkies man 😂😂😂 good review 👍🏿👍🏿💯
love the design nice interior nice cargot space
I am so glad that you like this one Dylan!
I like the headlight it looks fantastic
cut the screen in half and add remote start and ventilated seats. perfection !
Not a fan of info center at all. I thought the price is a little high for it. Great review Joe and Lori.
JRait's Rides, What new for Ford Edge ST for 2022 any major remodel or a new hybri or electr?
Owned the then newly redesigned 2011 Edge Sport with 22” wheels and all the trimmings. Dashboard hasn’t changed a bit other than the infotainment screen. Ford needs to update the interior because it looks very similar to the 2011.
My 2017 ford fusion has that same dash and console and shifter dial.
How would u compare this to a full loaded eclipse cross? Same year model. Bells to whistles and power wise
I want one! Coming from 2013 Ford Edge Sport 3.7L.
Subbed cause this guys funny
Hey Joe, have you ever been pulled over doing a test drive?
I'm hooked on the performance of this Ford Edge ST.#amazingvehicle🤟
It’s caught between refresh but it is sweet. Zonk that they took both dash doors away . Love mine (not ST) but I’d like to tow like this one does.
I love this car, it has so many features and I choose this over an Explorer ST, even though it's slower.
We got the higher end Edge ST with the huge sunroof, ventilated seats and black gloss rims. My complaint is the same. No buttons for AC.
HI! JOE! A STRONG DISTRACTION!! BEHIND YOU! THAT RED TRUCK!! WOW! 😁! EXCELLENT REVIEW! TWINKIE EDGE!! .
If you tint the tail lights, it looks great
Love it
Planning to do tour on Ford Explorer Timberline?
Is there tunes for these ?
Love the jokes, my kids and I enjoy watching these videos!!!
can you please do a cadillac xt5 review
No heat shield for the engine?
Ford edge is one of my guilty pleasures.
I could watch this guy review a broom. And he's right about the snickers holder in the rear. We used to kidney punch each other regularly for rights to the snickers holder
That really is awesome of you to say Dennis!
Hi Zonkman, what"lo happen ir cars we're solid and perfecto?
I'm wondering why they didn't put the 3.0 ecoboost like in some of the FWD based lincolns
You’re the best!
I like it, especially for 45K tops. Im sure its sales will drop now with Fords own Bronco and Bronco Sport taking some would-be Edge buyers going forward.
Is the A.C. accessed through the screen? Zonk
Is This model be coming to sweden?
Does the screen have a dark mode or night mode?
“Punch each other in the kidneys” 😂
Little does he know, that’s how it is with siblings
They made it bigger right ? Looks a little bigger and I’ve never been inside one but they look nice.
great review Joe, like all ST's needs a good remap/tune, but shame you don't get the Focus ST, as the new MK4 has the old RS engine fitted, and with a Mountune upgrade is a great hot-hatch, think Ford made a big error in stopping the sale of the Focus ST in US/CAN, allowed the competitors to swoop in with the sales of their hot-hatches. Since EU have tightened the emission laws in EU, no MK4 RS will be made.
You were my school teacher. I miss when we used to pass notes. I’m still in love with you and this is how I wanted to tell you.
Did it have head up display?
Aladdin's Castle? Are those still around?
I still to this day don't get the fascination with giant screens. 8" IMO is the sweet spot for screens ... and leaves room for physical buttons.
So what you're saying is you're a fan of knobs, and 8 inches feels about right for you?
i agree that 8 inches is perfect for a screen. this oversized screen should come with cones to set up a hazard area. it is ridiculous and
a deal breaker for me.
@@javtimestwo Sounds like big screen envy to me. Are you insecure about the size of your screen?
@@BoopSnoot Exactly!
Looks sporty from the back 😍
This is very true! I just wish the exhaust make some extra noise.
@@RaitisRides me too ✋ The simulation of motor sound made me feel like I was playing a computer 🖥 game 🎮 🙃 😐
@@RaitisRides Can the simulated sound be turned off?
16:35 we found the twinkie storage 😁
I might need one. Lol not a huge fan of the radio screen. I prefer the sync style radio screen found in the Focus ST/RS.
Jordan also played for the Birmingham Barons, a AA White Sox franchise. I have a 12 infotainment system, that's why I'm so damn smart.😏
❤I just love it The edge is wonderful
I totally agree with you'!
Joe!! I used to go to "Aladdin's Castle"
That is freaking awesome Trevor.
19:00 💀he really said that I love this guy
Thanks for letting me share the SUVs and the laughs with you!
You da Bomb Joe !!!!!!
Been watching ur videos for the past hour lmao
I think Ford should have redesigned the 2013 era gauge package with the one they have on the 20 and up Explorer.
Not a bad suv but it needs a serious redesign imo also that screen doesn’t really fit it kinda looks like some aftermarket part but afterall not bad to consider
if you double tap traction control it goes into sport traction mode
I currently own a Livernois tuned 2016 Edge Sport and I absolutely LOVE it. But if I would have to replace my Edge right now, I would NOT go for an Edge ST for a LOT of reasons. Gauge cluster dating from 20 years ago (please give the Edge ST the the Mustang or the Lincoln Nautilus awesome 12 inches digital display), missing physical climate controls, interior almost exactly the same as the 2015 Edge and lot of other things are dated. But I think the the most important missing thing is the 3.0 Ecoboost engine and drivetrain , the same ones that are currently used in the Explorer ST. This would make the Edge ST really worthy of the ST badge and would make it a real challenger for german competition sporting a LOT more horsepower. Give the next Edge ST those features, I'll be the first inline to replace my Edge with a new ST.
The outside is still looking fresh but the interior though needs some work. I think it’s time we get a redesign on this car. The surprise that caught my eye was that massive infotainment screen. I wasn’t expecting to see that in this car! Total shock
It does need a major redesign.
Isn’t the Edge going away soon? Pretty sure I’ve read that somewhere.
That interior refresh was so needed! Good looking exterior with an interior that finally matches! Good option for a fun, clean looking suv!
is that a long bed -wow if it wernt for the color id take it , oh the cars nice too inlaw got one to nite damm its quite and fast
"if you have 12 inches, use all 12 inches plz" sorry Joe were all not blessed 😂😂😂
600k. Let's go. On Throttle!
Definitely think the rdx is better. The edge may be cheaper but im willing to pay extra for luxury, comfort, and reliability of acura vehicles
I've been really impressed with how Ford has evolved this Edge. I really like the overall look and accessories. This is a very impressive review!
Try the subaru outback touring xt 2021 plz
I will try to get my hands on one for you!
I'd love to see them bring the RS back to their platforms!
Yeah but it needs to be the Focus that they sell in Europe.
@@RaitisRides definitely agree with that need more hot hatches!
Could you maybe review a new fully loaded Ford edge? I heard that they are really nice.
I will try to get that together for you!
This car is soooooooo underrated.......
That is a very good point!
Not too bad. The Explorer’s baby brother. I think it looks better in blue with the optional wheels. Thanks for the review Joe and nice job as always! Can’t leave out Lori. Nice job Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
My wife got a blue 2019 Ford Edge ST and i got to say it drives really good and i always take of traction control for better driving.
