    I noticed the same thing when reading info released on the ST. Felt like they ignored that the Sport ever existed and did not state what exact improvements where made compared to the Sport. Thanks for the feedback. Also, did you have the 21" or 20" wheels on the Sport?

    On the Sport I had 21".

    Congratulations on the new ST. Tell us more on the 2016 Sport vs 2019 ST differences please.

    There is nothing much more I can say now on ST vs Sport. Maybe in a week or two or after a longer drive out town.  One thing that may sound strange, knowing that the coil stiffness had been increased,(front by 10% and rear by 20%), is that ST seems more agreeable to small bumps compare to Sport. I am driving the same streets as the last three years and ST is definitely more enjoyable. I am not sure that the stiffness increase I red about was relative to the Sport model and not the the regular Edge, never saw this directly claimed. So maybe the whole new suspension  redesign and tuning plays some role here .      

  3. Today picked my Edge ST: Magnetic, 20", 401A. Before it drove 2013 Limited and 2016 Sport, both with 401A . Here are my first impressions: It looks like Sport, but it is different animal. Smoother and quieter. The seats are probably the best I have ever been into. The balance between performance, convenience and enjoyment of driving is excellent.  And frankly, I don't care some saying that it "does not deserve the ST badge".  If Ford say it does, so be it.  And I believe that the next iteration will be even better.

    Let it go bud. It's a forum about cars. Things always go for shit when the conversation gets political. We joined the rest of the world and went metric, we eat french fries. They eat freedom fries etc.

    Yes, you are correct! ?

    Sorry for the political rant- the patriotic talk gets me going!

    With all due respect to your patriotic feelings, I still fail to understand how are they related to the measurement system in use.

    Freedom units please.

    As far as I know there are only three country in the world that haven't adopted as official the metric system yet: Burma, Liberia and the US.

    Nothing personal intended and no parallels beyond the metric system drawn, of course ?

    Also, I have no intention to start a measurements system discussion here, it is not the right forum. It is just a curious fact.  

  7. Guys,

    Long time member (since 2016) but first post.  

    I am trying to fix-up a dashcam with parking function and for this I have to feed it through 3-wire set: always live / power-on only live /ground.  Can you please someone point me to fuses in the passenger compartment box in edge 2015-2019 that are always live (not timed) and only power-on live, preferably not related to safety (like airbags, etc.)?  I know, that I can measure this with a probe, but I will have to wait for the power-off timer. Also the fuse box is positioned in a very convenient location for an old dude like me.

    Thanks in advance ?

  8. I had the same problem (or at least I thought it was a problem) and took the car to the dealer. The technician showed me an excerpt from the service manual (not the user one which is very vague) stating that the warning will come up when the fuel level in the tank is 1/16. It is plausible then, that the DTE value the warning will come up will be different each time because it will depend on the current average fuel consumption used by the system to calculate it.

  9. Thanks enigma-2. I didn't find this one, probably because I was not looking for the OEM version. I had it on my previous generation Edge and from personal experience I may say that it is a joke. It does not protect the most vulnerable part of the bumper.

    the stainless still one from you link is for the 2011-2014 model and maybe that is why it is cheaper. Up to now I didn't find anything suitable below $75.

  10. Thank you for your opinion.

    It is not not more expensive that the OEM one and any other. I also don't think it is "highly" reflective as some Mercedes OEM stainless steel which are literary mirror-polished. This one seems to be more like a scattering surface. What I really like is that it is thin and it covers the edge. There are other out there from rubber that also cover the edge, but from the pictures I have seen they look to be pretty thick. I'm not sure though that this one will fit properly.
