  1. So what gives with the horsepower rating on these three cars? 325 hp, 375 lb·ft2015- Ford F-150 335 hp, 380 lb·ft2016- Lincoln MKX 315 hp, 350 lb·ft2015- Ford Edge Sport Anyone have any idea what the difference is between the engines mechanically? I assume this is just tune based horsepower (ignition timing, boost, a/f ratio). I guess the good thing is if mechanically all engines are the same that a tune for the Edge Sport will be very high in HP gains!!! Haha

    2015 Edge MPG

    Completely agree, I easily get more MPG then they always post on the highway MPG rating on the sticker.

    2015 Edge MPG

    Trip from Mass to RI, cruise at 65 when possible and still downshifting/upshifting to make sure rev's don't stay constant. 2015 Edge Sport 2.7TT
  4. Drive fun 5% of the time, slow but high speed other times and grab around 23.5 mpg First tank was around 400 miles, currently have 550 miles and can't wait til it gets more miles so the engine is finally broken in!
  5. Can you explain how the feature works step by step? Stayed on after I shut the car off, locked, and came back 25 minutes later.....
  6. So just sent out to my car this morning and didn't turn ignition on/car on and my charger had no power either UNTIL I turned it on... WTF is going on here?! Does it shut off after a certain amount of time? Anyone know what the logic is here?
  7. Note: If used when the vehicle is not running, the battery will discharge. There may be insufficient power to restart your vehicle. <- directly from user manual
  8. Has anyone figured out how to make the front passenger "cigarette lighter" power source ignition only powered? My VW turns off power once the ignition is turned off and it's a great feature since I don't have to constantly plug in my radar detector in and out. Thanks
  9. I didn't like it until I played with settings and used surround, sounds much better. Still not as good as my Fender stereo in my VW GLi
  10. Hello, one thing that you will notice is that these cars (and similar turbocharged cars) do not have "bovs" but diverted valves as they take the pressure and do not release into the atmosphere but back into the intake tract. But to answer your question if I am not mistaken the GT15 turbos in this car should have the diverted valves into the turbo just as many other stock cars do. Check out this link - http://www.honestcharley.com/blog/from-the-restoration-shop/road-tour-9/ Second pic down look at the right side of the turbo with the hose coming out of the black diaphragm and that should be the diverted valve. What engine do you have?
  11. I too have a sunroof rattle coming from passenger side front (like above the "oh shit" handle) when the glass is titled upward. I'll try to get a sounds clip and post it.
  12. Another key to cleaning glass is to use a micro fiber towel - that helps A LOT compared to a towel or a paper towel as it grabs everything off the glass and doesn't leave a streak.
  13. Good test, I plan on doing a similar test with my VBox also once the engine is broken in and first oil change (around 1K miles)...
  14. Hey guys, new to the forum and just picked up a 2015 Edge Sport. Called Ford's customer call center and asked when my build date was, they said May 8th and then asked if the 15B21 applies to my car and she said no. I haven't washed my car or had it in the rain, but assuming it was on the dealership lot for so long and rained a bunch of times while sitting, I think my car is free from issues. Good luck to those who have it
