Anything new??
Sync3 revision V3.0 is being released on the owners site now. I just updated my 2017 Ford Edge Titanium.
There's a thread specifically created for V3.0

I just updated mine using a 4GB USB stick - it took 25 minutes and I just kept the engine idling with my garage door open.
I cant detect any changes.

JR3T-14G381-AL SYNC3 v3.0
This software release is the latest update in our continued efforts to improve system performance, device connectivity, and the overall SYNC experience.
This software contains all previous enhancements, so there is no need to install any other updates. The installation of this update will take up to 60 minutes to complete. DO NOT remove your USB drive or turn off your vehicle. You must wait until Installation Complete is displayed on the center screen before removing your drive or turning your vehicle off.
While the update is loading, SYNC will not recognize your mobile phone or media device. Be sure your vehicle engine is running (not in accessory mode) throughout the entire installation process. Although your vehicle must be in park when you initiate the installation process, once the download process has begun, you may drive your vehicle.
For the 2.3 update I left my engine running - this requirement is crazy, and I'll give it a try with just the ignition on.

I buy mine on Amazon. Cheaper and better selection. Normally I buy the ATP brand with carbon. Couple of years ago I went with OEM. On my filter, I didn't see any difference in number of pleats over aftermarket.
I'll give them a try next time - https://www.amazon.com/automotive-FA-21-Carbon-Activated-Premium/dp/B01IW17N3U/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1521401090&sr=1-1&keywords=atp+cabin+air+filter+fa-21

I have the OEM on hand and will install it in a few weeks time when I'm at 25K miles/14 months.

When I was searching for an Edge, a core criteria of mine was the 3.5 naturally aspirated V6 rather than an EcoBoost engine. I felt the naturally aspirated engine had nicer characteristics to drive (quieter at low RPM, smoother throughout, peak torque at a more familiar place at higher RPM), and I was also concerned about long-term reliability in a forced induction engine. The EcoBoost engines are great for fuel economy, but I'd rather trade that for a more enjoyable drive and less risk of the unknown on the reliability front.
All the best,
Andrew.
Sounds like you're describing my 2017 Sport 2.7L
BTW, the 2.7L fuel consumption is much the same as the 3.5L
The thing that put me off the 3.5 was the internal water pump and the many reports of the water pump failing and contaminating the engine oil.

That would be the PTU that enigma-2 is referring to with oil changes every 30K

I have enough stock now for 30,000 miles, just over a year for me at the current rate, built up from Costco and Amazon sales, so will only be looking at these specials in about 8 to 10 months from now.

Some Ford engineers believe the PTU problems are due to heat but not external heat - just friction from a buildup of tolerances in the different parts when put together in one unit. They also say the PTU fluid is fine for 150K as long as it doesn’t overheat. But once it overheats it’s toast. Since you can’t really tell when the PTU overheats to the point that the fluid goes bad, changing it frequently is a good idea. But if you’re not overheating the PTU it’s not necessary.
The Sport has a temp sensor - not sure if there's an alert associated and at what temperature.

I've paid extra for the cargo covers on a couple of vehicles just to have them sitting in the garage all the time. They were always getting in the way when trying to utilize the back area. Limited to what I could put under the cover.
Just my $.02 with.
Same experience here.
After it getting in the way each time we go shopping, its laying collecting dust in the corner of the garage.

Is the Adjustable, 2-stage shock/impact sensor available as an add-on for my 2017 Edge Sport.

what is he factory recommended CCA for battery replacement?
Looks like 590 CCA - when I need one I'll look to see if a larger one will fit.
Its a Group 90 , and the longer Group 48 will fit.

Costco has the original size for $90 and $110 for the larger one, with 3.5 year free replacement warranty.

How are you transfering the Royal Purple to your PTU, pump used etc?
I've done it twice and found that there was enough space to use the nozzle on the bottle and although that's relatively easy to do, I bought one of the hand pumps.

My 2.0L Titanium does not have the tow package and it has the PTU cooling scoop.
I'm interested to hear from those that know the difference between the models, and whether your PTU would fit other models.
If mine needs replacement one day I might look at getting one like yours.

PTU cooling.....
The shield below the engine has a scoop to direct ambient air over the PTU for cooling. I don't know if this is something new or is it part of all Gen2 EDGE.
I don't know which models have that cooling arrangement, but can confirm that my 2017 Sport does not.

Post #472
The parts diagrams show no drain plugs for any model PTU but the Sport's.
I think this photo does a better job of showing the drain at the very bottom of the finned PTU, pointing down.See post #488 of a 2016 Titanium PTU, and it looks very different to yours.
If that is in fact the PTU, it looks more robust than the one on the Sport.

My 2013 Edge Sport has been sitting at the dealership for a while and the dealer tells me they cant get the parts needed for the repair from Ford.
Start button does nothing but make a clicking sound under the hood.
Who can I contact at Ford about this ?
Any Ford service reps online ?
See if you can get the part numbers from them and try Amazon where a few dealerships sell parts, and if they have it then it looks like your dealership is giving you the run-around.

I never had any such issues going to 2.3 and neither with 3.0
