I have had 2 Edge Limited's with the V6 and loved both of them.  I personally think the 4 cyl. is too small for a vehicle this size and don't like the noise it makes either.  Rotary gearshifter is also a huge turnoff.   

I actually put myself in a kneeling position on the floor while my daughter drove it over all kinds of surfaces. It seemed like the rattle came from a bolt that held the seat to the floor. I brought it in to the dealer, they found a soda can wedged between the seats that had exploded and said the rattle was caused by this. Long story short, the rattle persisted and I just learned to live with it. 2011 Edge Ltd awd.

I have owned 2 Limited awd models both with the V6. Great engine, ample effortless power. I would get the 3.5 V6 while you still can. I am hearing it may be eliminated for 2019 in favor of an all turbo engine lineup.

What about the 2.0 or 2.7L engine that is in the Edge and MKX?

To each his own right.. I never liked the Weather Tech or factory all season mats because during the snow or rain, it just seems like I was just dragging water and slush in the car and it would just stay there. That dirty and salty water would then create another set of problems with my shoes or pants. In both my 08 and 11 Edge's, I had a set of carpeted all weather Catch-All mats that were molded and fit perfectly, even in the cargo area. When they got dirty, I just hosed them off, dried off overnight and popped them back in just like new. I think the company went out of business. I tried to find them for my current cars, so disappointed. I think I was probably one of the few who appreciated them.

You know what is somewhat maddening to me is the fact that the BAMR is a forced option for those who want the better equipment that come with the 301 and 302 packages for the Titanium model. I have always felt that my BAMR was a problem waiting to happen. Ford needs to make this a stand alone option as in the Sport Model or give us the option of deleting it from the packages. This feature has been on the Edge since its inception, you think they would have gotten it right by now! Too bad.

I have been following this site for a long time. I noticed this year that I am seeing any enthusiasm for the 2018 MY as in recent years. Seems like in the past, information about the upcoming model year's always created a lot of interest. Not so much this year. Any thoughts?

I actually did this in 2011. Let me explain. I had a 2008 Edge AWD Ltd. with 38,000 miles. I don't remember how much I put down at the time (been a long time). The 3 year lease was set to expire and I wanted the newer style 2011 Edge. My end lease purchase price was $18,000 so I bought it. The dealer then offered me $26K as a trade in for it. I took the trade in deal and ordered my 2011 Ltd. AWD. Otherwise I never would have done it.

My first thought is the Vista Roof on the option packages for the Titanium trim levels. Of course, the vista roof delete option should be by special order only. Its just not for everyone.

I agree with the folding mirrors and fog lights. As for the 9 speed, I agree that this is going to happen, I just feel that it will bring a lot of problems with it. Unless the mpg gain is considerable, why change what isn't broken? And please fix those cooled seats.

If you didn't already buy it then I agree. Run away from this deal. Nobody needs another problem to deal with.

I would like to see a chrome wheel option. Chrome clad or not I don't care as I never had any trouble with them.

I would like the ability to delete the power panoramic sunroof (with credit) from option packages 301A or 302A. The power panoramic sunroof is not right for everyone. Please consider this.

I have had two of them. Zero problems on either. My current edge with 75K miles, runs perfectly on regular fuel.

Does anyone know about when MY16 will end and MY17 will start?

If it were me, I would try to get out of the deal and order another one just the way you want it. You are spending too much to be in doubt about a quality issue either real or perceived. Just my thoughts as I will be looking real soon.

My driving style is light to medium. The 3.5 works for me but the BAMR does not. I have had 2 of them and keep them fully closed most of the time. I want the fancy seats, blind spot and other package contents. I just don't think the 2.0 will last long either, that engine is spinning hard all the time. On the negative side, I can't get the cognac seats in the Sport. Lots to think about.

I am having the same issue. Time for me to replace my 11 Ltd AWD. I like what I have and fee like the engine is sufficient for me. I am looking at the Sport because it can be ordered with the Option package that is not requiring the BAMR. I also am hesitant about the turbo engine. I am looking to hear from someone that the Ecoboost can give me 150K miles without having to worry about expensive repair bills. If I were sure that the 2.7 twin turbo has made for the long haul I would not have an issue with getting one. In fact I would look forward to something different as I have already owned 2 Edge's with the 3.5 (both of which were trouble free).

Its the same color as on my 2011. Ford switched to deep impact blue in 2012 then retired it after the 2015 model. Round and round they recycle Kona Blue - I always thought it was a beautiful blue. I would re-order the 2016 if I could get the cognac interior with it.

I have to wonder if Ford provided a Vista Roof delete for the 301A and 302A packages just how popular that option would be? I would take it for sure no matter how much credit I did or did not receive for it. Seems like Ford really likes to equip the Edge with the Vista Roof.

You know, I just have to wonder. How many of us would have taken a Vista Roof Delete option if it would have been available? I am talking about those of us who really want those packages like the 301A or 302A on the Titanium model. For sure, I would have taken it but for some reason Ford wants to put these in a lot of vehicles.

Do we any updates on this issue? Is this a non-issue? Looking to buy a new Titanium with the cooled seats option but this thread is concerning. Would appreciate more information or experiences. Thank you...

I think the real measure of the car of the year is how well it sells. No comparison here. Edge outsells them all. Good looking and popular, I should be so lucky.

Can anyone at the Oakville assembly plant say if the new part is being used now on the assembly line?

Seems like there is a lot of interest in the fog lights and I agree that they look great. Too bad you can't get this as an accessory from Ford.
