Couple of days ago, I accidentally found out that I am able to turn off the rear reading light(s) from the front. If a rear light is turned on manually, all you need to do is turn on all the lights from the front overhead console and then turn them off. The rear light(s) will then turn off. This was not mentioned in the manual, but I have noticed it shows that those without the vista roof actually have an additional button to turn off all the lights. As I have the Vista roof, I don't have that extra "all off" button.

Update, like what @lildisco stated in post #3, it seems to be normal, checked another 2016 and had the same cut-outs. Difference only that on my Edge the cut-offs aren't positioned symmetrical (as if the weatherstrip had moved), i'll try to align it correctly. Also the part's picture on fordpartsonline has the same cut-out.

Watching this video, it seems removing the emblem is possible without removing the light bar.

Stock 21" vs. stock 20", there should be difference in ride quality due to thicker rubber (1" difference in diameter, 0.5" more cushioning) and the reduced weight. But whether you'll feel it or not differs from one person to another. What aspect of ride quality your not comfortable with? It is the suspension movement, like the car going up and down in a too quick fashion that makes your back and neck move quickly (older person? ), then it won't be fixed with smaller wheels. But if it is the impact of the tires on bumps, then there should be a difference. As for the TPMS, you should be able to use the same sensors. You have actually put more weight on your wheels (unsprung mass) which is not good on the ride quality.

Is the climate (A/C) on? The fans will come on anytime the the A/C is on regardless of engine temperature. Turn off the A/C and the fans will turn off if not needed in about 1 minute.

I don't see a photo.

The difference between fully optioned 2018 Sport & Titanium V6 AWD models is only US 1,585/-.

Compared to my previous 2011 MKX with the 3.7L engine, the 2.7L EcoBoost has very weak engine braking on manual downshifts, so I suspect that manual downshifting on the 2.0 will not help on steep downhills. I think that's one area where there is really no replacement for displacement.

The stock Led strip in the bumper is not bright enough to function as a DRL. This is the kit I mentioned: http://drivebright.com/home/shop/ford-edge-led/ And this is a package with HID: http://drivebright.com/home/shop/package-4-edge-led-drl-kit-hid-headlight-kit-save-70-00/ Every post I remember reading here regarding them have been positive.

The DRL operates at a reduced voltage (or some alternating method) which doesn't work nicely with HID. AFAIK, you have 2 options, either install a Relay & get the HIDs to run from a different power source, or, change the DRLs to the turn signals then run HID normally. Another option might be to disable stock DRL and install a set of drivebright LED signature lights that are bright enough to function as DRLs.

2016 Sport. I wasn't trying to say catch cans are good or not, but was stated in the bulletin is interesting.

I thought it is the same oil that is collected in the catch can, isn't it?

Just read the attached General Service Bulletin (GSB - Gasoline Engine oil and coolant leaks at the turbocharger) and found an interesting bit of info: G0000185.pdf

The 2016 parts list isn't clear, but the 2011 is. You can clearly see different spring part numbers with & without sunroof. https://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2011/ford/edge/sel-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/rear-suspension-cat/rear-suspension-scat

https://www.vredestein.com/car-suv-van/tyre-finder/tyres/product/1/265/40/21/1166 This tire is from the Netherlands, it is a good tire I got as replacements to the stock 21" tires. Good reviews on them from UK & Australia, but not sure if they are available in the US.

Don't forget that there is a new transmission which means different gear ratios, so the final drive alone does not give the full picture. But since it is a 8 speeds versus 6 speeds, there will be a difference.

Can't comment on something I don't understand. But different part numbers can be for any difference. Even the same model year with & without vista roof would have different part numbers.

On the 2011 MKX, the worst thing was not having front parking sensors. On the 2016, the short dead pedal, or actually that there it is closed from the top. Having size 13 shoes doesn't help. The 2nd thing is not having the washer & split camera view at the rear like the front.

I'm with Nick on this one, but that is my opinion, a opinion only. Ford's website for the 2019 ST doesn't even mention ST tuned, only "Sport Tuned Suspension". Then again, on Ford's Media website, it is clearly more than "just" a rebadged "Sport", with an ST-tuned sport suspension, but doesn't seem to be the full "ST" treatment, merely "Enhanced". Considering there is still no firm evidence of either way, I'd suggest to let it go till some new info comes up.

I lost faith in this guy when he used LED bulbs in regular headlights.

I already took it in for it, but the odor is still there. Our dealer is not a competent one, but we don't any other one here, so I have no other choice.

@lildisco Thanks for the pictures, do you get the exhaust odor under hard acceleration with climate on recirculating? Also, it seems the cut-offs on your liftgate are symmetrical on both sides? Location is not very clear on the first pic. Can someone else confirm? Especially on a year other than 2016? Maybe a bad batch?

I think it refers to the minimum wheel size. On my 2016 Sport ETIS has it listed as "Brake Disc 18 Fr Vent/17 Sol Rear", guess the ST brake package nets you bigger rear vented discs instead of solids.

Could someone with a 2015+ Edge confirm if this is normal or not? The weatherstrip for the lift gate has 2 places were it seems like a small piece is cut off. This is on the outer edge. Please see the photos. 1 cut is at the bottom right the other is at the left tailight.
