	From the Owners Manual: Non-Ford approved chemicals or additives are not required for factory recommended maintenance. Infact, Ford Motor Company recommends against the use of such additive products unless specifically recommended by Ford for a particular application.

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews It is a pre-production, the switch should not be there since paddle shifters are standard. The 'S' is for sport mode, already available in 2013 & 2014 Edge/MKX. Basically a different programmed mode for the tranny to hold gears more and shift at higher RPMs.

	New 2012 Edge Sport Owner + Looking to mod, need helpomar302 replied to rocketace1's topic in 2012 Edge & MKX First production 2011 Edge Sport & MKX had true dual exhaust from the factory. It changed sometime end of 2011 or beginning of 2012 to what they call "Quasi-Dual" Exhaust. Was discussed previously, like the below thread. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/9097-2012-ford-edge-sport-single-exhaust/

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews Thanks for the video link. Blitz. At 1:09 the narrator states that the 2.7 Ecoboost pumps out nearly as much power as the current 3.5 Ecoboost and more than many V8s.

	Middle East Edge/MKX have the towing package and/or additional cooling or what Ford calls "high ambient, high speed package". And the fuel tank is 70 litres, it seems that Arabski refuels immediately after getting the low fuel warning.

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews It seems that the speaker looking part is only to cover the available adaptive steering since the motor for it would be behind it: http://blog.caranddriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/AdaptiveSteering_img_1053.jpeg

	I don't think you can add a panoramic roof. Even if it was possible, it wouldn't be feasible, you would be far better off selling you car & buying one with the option.

	There is a button to close the power lift gate inside the cargo area on the left side. http://avford.com/2012-antelope-valley-ford-models/ford-edge/images/design-4.jpg

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews blitz, Yes, 350 lbs-ft is good. The Taurus SHO & MKS (Ecoboost) both weigh nearly as much as the current gen Edge Sport (~4450 Lbs) & can still run 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Some reviews quoted as low as 5.2 seconds.

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews For the 2.7, remember that the 2.3 Ecoboost in the MKC already makes 285hp & 305 lbs-ft of torque & in the Mustang its "over" 300 hp & lbs.-ft. The 2.7 should easily be more than both. On the other hand, Torque will NOT go beyond 350 lbs-ft. due to the transmission's limits. That's why the 3.5 was limited to 350 lbs-ft in FWD/AWD vehicles that used the 6F55 tranny (SHO/MKS/MKT/Explorer/Flex while it made 420 lbs-ft in the F-150 (RWD/AWD with a different tranny) & now 460 lbs-ft in the '15 Expedition/Navigator. Using simple (not accurate) estimates (hp/lbs-ft per liter) from the output figures of the 2.3 & 3.5: MKC 2.3: 285/305 == 2.7 estimated 334/358 (hp/lbs-ft). Expedition/Navigator 3.5: 380/460 == 2.7 estimated 293/354 (hp/lbs-ft). Mustang 2.3 expected 305/305 == 2.7 est. 358/358 (hp/lbs-ft). My best bet, for Torque, will be limited to 350 lbs-ft (due to tranny) while hp between 330 & 360.

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews I live in Qatar, generally, in the Arabian Gulf countries, only gasoline/petrol engines are offered for passenger vehicles. So for the 2015 Edge, I expect we get the 3.5 & maybe/hopefully the 2.7 Ecoboost. The 2.0 is probably not coming since it is meant for Fuel Economy & here fuel is cheap plus the idea of a 4 cylinder Edge sized vehicle wouldn't be accepted. I personally hope the 2.7 Ecoboost would come, but only if it was as powerful as the older 3.5 Ecoboost (0-60 mph time of mid 5 seconds, like the SHO). Also, from what happened with the 2011 Explorer & 2013 Fusion, I also don't expect to get the 2015 Edge & that we'd only get it in 2016.

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews Those are Ford's new switches, in addition to new power window & door locks, available on the 2011+ Explorer, 2013+ Taurus/Flex/Fusion/MKS/MKT/MKZ, and who knows better.

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews Those are the 3.7 L engine's output (current Edge Sport), the current 3.5 makes 285 hp (213 kW) at 6500 rpm and 253 lb·ft (343 N·m) at 4000 rpm.

	Wiring for Paddle Shifters - Sport & non-Sportomar302 replied to omar302's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX Waldo, sorry to ask & I don't mean to be sceptical, just want to make sure, do you mean the wires are there & near a dealer to configure the paddles to work? Or is it a guess/idea?

	Wiring for Paddle Shifters - Sport & non-Sportomar302 replied to omar302's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX Ok, was able to remove & installed a steering wheel from a 2013 with paddle shifters, the paddles light up but don't work. All other buttons work fine. I checked the pins on the clock spring, and all additional pins are present, but couldn't check the other end to see if there are wires for them.

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews Anyone noticed how on the bottom spoke of the steering wheel on the Sport model has what appears to be a speaker grille? The same spoke on the non-sport models have nothing (open)? Could it be the Active noise cancellation? Also, any information on what the Sport will miss out on compared to the Titanium?

	2015 Ford Edge Introduced - Edge Going Globalomar302 replied to LI Edge's topic in Articles, News & Reviews Hopefully good news for current owners: "Ford promises that the next-generation, non-Microsoft Sync interface is on the way but that it wont be ready by the time that the Edge hits the market. The good news (or bad news, depending on how well it works) is that the redesigned interface can be loaded into the Edge at any point once the new software is ready."

	13N02 - Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Boosteromar302 replied to omar302's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty Go to Go to this site: https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleSelection.do Enter your vehicle's VIN number & click "Search". It will give you details about you vehicle. Under "Outstanding Field Service Actions" you should see "13N02 - EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON BRAKE BOOSTER", if it is there, I believe (99%) that the extended warranty would apply to your car even in Canada.
