Ya Blitz, wish you would stop showing me your great ideas , auto folding power mirrors and advanced TMS to name a few. Maybe Ford is saving these options for the 2016 Lincoln MKX. The 2016 MKX is the only way I get Trailer Tow Package - Class II AND the 2.7L EcoBoost engine. I like the looks Edge Sport much better than the 2016 MKX concept. You and I are in the minority.

Thanks Magnetic Edge. That is actually a great option for the northern people that are going to buy a second set of rims/tires for the winter. I recycled this from an earlier post on cost of Ford Edge Sport 21" tires. I got the 2015 Edge Sport tire size but didn't see a speed rating on the images floating around. Mo HP/torque = higher speed rated tire=mo money. Take a look at the cost of 2015 Edge Sport tire replacement 265/40 R21, may come with Pirelli Continental ContiSportContact 2 Max Performance Summer Includes Manufacturer's Road Hazard Warranty Set of 4: $1,592.00 Continental ContiSportContact 5P Max Performance Summer Includes Manufacturer's Road Hazard Warranty Set of 4: $1,528.00 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT Max Performance Summer Set of 4: $1,948.00 After mail-in rebate: $1,868.00 Pirelli P Zero Max Performance Summer Set of 4: $2,016.00 After mail-in rebate: $1,956.00 Continental CrossContact UHP Street/Sport Truck Summer Includes Manufacturer's Road Hazard Warranty Set of 4: $1,592.00 Michelin Latitude Sport 3 Street/Sport Truck Summer Road Hazard Program is not available for LT metric/flotation tires Set of 4: $1,624.00

Akirby - I always value your input because you see a different perspective than I do. That said, if you could give up the heated steering wheel for an advanced TMS, would you?

I want the Nissan system. 2013 Nissan Altima Easy Fill Tire Alert Demonstration

2015 F150 has a great tire pressure monitor. 2007 RAV4 Limited monitors the spare as well. No graphical view, just a common to all indicator light. Not sure how Toyota's tire pressure monitoring system works today. I just thought it was a great idea to monitor the spare as well. The spare is the only tire I cannot easily get a visual indication of how the tire looks until I need it.

Magnetic Edge - Can you explain " 21” Aluminum Premium Painted Tarnished Dark Low Gloss Wheels Summer Only Tires1 (requires 21” Premium Painted Wheels)"? Can I get all season tires on the Sport with the 21" Aluminum Premium Painted Tarnished Dark Low Gloss rims?

I doubt I would ever use Enhanced Active Park Assist except for a few times to understand how the technology worked. I enjoy parallel/perpendicular parking. If I get an Edge, I would get the Sport with 401A. May wait a year or so and look at the 2016 Lincoln MKX. I like the look of the Edge much better but maybe the MKX is a better fit.

Hey Omar. I used the Lincoln MKC for reference and then assumed. Thanks for the correction.

Thanks Waldo. I fully understand Ford doesn't care what one person posts on some message board that about 20 people read. I understand how things work. Ford states Ford social is a place to post ideas and requests and that is why I said I was going to post there. I DO understand one post on Ford social isn't going to change anything. My reasoning: The cost of power folding mirrors on a 2015 Explorer is $505 list. But on an Explorer Sport, power folding mirrors are part of 401A. 401A is the Sport model's highest option package. 2015 Explorer Width including mirrors: 90.2" Width with mirrors folded 82.5" 2015 Edge Width including mirrors: 87.5" Width with mirrors folded 79.1" 2016 Edge width has decreased by 1/10 of an inch. So basically the same width as 2015 Edge. First, I agree with everyone here. I didn't think about power folder mirrors until Blitz brought it up. After some thought, it would be great to have power fold mirrors when a new Edge is parked in the garage. Turn the Edge's engine off and mirrors fold in. I would have a wider walkway. Edge has an 8.4" delta between mirrors folded and unfolded. I'm in lock and step with Blitz, not a deal killer but would been useful. Giving up options like trailer tow package on the Sport model hurts. I have a bike rack and tow light loads with my 2001 4Runner. Very handy. No worries.

Thanks Blitz. As others stated, information will start coming out now. I'm floored that a almost $50,000 CUV doesn't have some basic equipment such as retractable side mirrors and no trailer tow package for the Sport. I may post on http://social.ford.com/ just to piss in the wind. I know Ford isn't going to do anything and I understand how things work.

On the latest Ford Explorer, Sport model, Trailer Tow Package - Class III is standard. I wish the Edge would have made the Trailer Tow Package available on the 2015 Edge Sport.

Magnetic Edge - If you don't want to/can't answer any of my questions, I understand. On the 2015 Ford Edge can the Roof-Rack Side Rails be ordered with the Panoramic Vista Roof? On the 2014 Ford Edge, the Roof-Rack Side Rails could not be ordered with the Panoramic Vista Roof. But the the latest version of the Escape, you can order Roof-Rack Side Rails and Panoramic Vista Roof. Thanks.

RWF - What do you mean? The 2015 Ford Edge Sport is more of a Sport model than the 2014 Sport model. Are you saying in general, the Edge never had a true Sport model? Are you looking for manual transmission?

Also, are any 2015 Edge rims listed as chrome clad aluminum? No more questions, I promise (for today).

Magnetic Edge - Thanks for the posts. Wow, no power folding mirrors. I bet wrong on that one. 40K sticker and no power folding mirrors. How about the 2015 Sport model, are the options limited like on the 2014? Here is a list of some 2014 Edge Limited Option you cannot get on a 2014 Edge Sport: Class II Trailer Tow Package with Trailer Sway Control Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Warning High-Intersity Discharge (HID) Headlamps Roof-Rack Side Rails (even if Panoramic Vista Roof is not added)

I don't own an Edge but are you guys talking about the wheel wells?

Exodus - Thanks for the post. I liked the 2015 Edge Sport rims, preproduction better than the Sport rims in the 2015_EDGE_Preview_Guide PDF. I curious of other opinions.

Akirby - Understood. Just trying to add to the conversation. I was looking for a way to interject what I discovered.

Waldo - I agree with you but I believe the 2nd generation Ford Edge is different than 1st generation in regards to the paddle shifters. Currently you have to put the Edge into S to use the + - on the gear shift. With the 2 generation, you can use the paddle shifters anytime. Reference: [yt]http://youtu.be/Gfb0tcFWuHk[/yt]

Thanks Nick. I may stop and look at the Explorer setup. I try to use Ford's terminology when possible. I should have stated the passenger side has a strut and the driver side has a power liftgate latch piston.

Same Ford Edge 2015 B roll as above but in HD (1080p) [yt]http://youtu.be/BBew44vOlA0[/yt] Any idea what the shifter thumb rocker switch is for ~2:53? Also [P]ark, [R]everse, [N]eutral, [D]rive and ? What is S? The paddle shifters can be used anytime so I don't think it is part of the paddle shifter system.

Check out (~2:53), how close the Edge gets to the Fusion? during the perpendicular park assist. Matilda has a kill switch sitting on the dashboard. May be just the angle of the camera. I would have asked how close is the Park Assist software to release candidate.

Yes and additionally the 2011 - 2014's one strut mounts inside the Edge (you lose a storage compartment due to the strut mount) while the 2015 struts mount outside the cabin, along the liftgate frame.
