January end of lease

I can already see the for sale advert by the dealership "well maintained 2015 Edge sport, great condition, new tires, 1x lady driver, never raced...." Poor new owner; if only they knew.

6.4 sounds a little slow for a tuned Edge Sport imho. Unless you are like 1600m above sea level?

Looks cool. What I am interested in, did you launch the car or just step on the gas?

My winter tires are on a set of 20's (stock 21's) and the difference is negligible. I too was hoping for a softer ride and if it was softer the plan was to swop to a set of 20s for summer aswell and get rid of the 21s

I get the same in my 16 Gen2 Sport and have experienced the same in a 2015 F150 3.5 EB.

i just purchased a sport 2018. How small can we go in winter? 17"? 18"?

I believe the size of the brake rotors on the sport requires atleast 18s. There is such a small price difference between 18 and 20, you might aswell do 20s.

That is properly quick! congrats on the new car!

the thing that constantly drives me nuts about my 2016 Ti is the squeaking, rattling, buzzing in the interior and the extreme road noise.

I have a 16 sport and my Active Noise Cancellation takes care of the road noise but the squeaks and rattles are driving me bonkers...

Edge went in for Oil change today at Ford. Obviously took my own oil as they charge $100 for 5l of Fully synthetic and Walmart sold Castrol FTT for $28 this weekend. They are also servicing the sunroof (finally) and apparently there is a recall on the back window (risk to shatter in cold when using demister) that they are looking at.

We dont get a free wash with our services LOL!

Just to clear up some confusion; there is no sensor that scans the ground beneath the lift gate making sure there is nothing in its way. There is a mechanism that will stop the liftgate from trying to close when something is in its way but in order for that to be triggered, it need to actually incur some resistance.

Turbo souldnt be affected by carbon build up.

There is no such thing. Same thing happened to me this weekend, I was loading a big BBQ and when I stepped over the trolley to lift the BBQ, my foot triggered the sensor, it started closing with me standing there holding a giant BBQ. Actually had to put the BBQ down and try again without triggering the lift gate.

I go to the kitchen, get the wife's silicon spatula, wrap the micro fiber around the head of the spatula and boom, can get into gaps like the more expensive windshield tool without spending a cent.

I wont see it HER again till I get to Columbus, Ga in Sept. Wife and kids will pick it HER up in a few weeks and go cross country and visit family till school starts. Let the withdrawal begin!

 

 

 

FTFY

Received some more info on the Dyno tests worst stock pull 214 HP. Best V3 241 HP.

What was the best stock run?

What kind of dyno was it ran on?

 

Some are pretty notorious for low numbers compared to others. Mustang dynos are really bad for it. I've seen as much as a 75HP difference between it and a dynojet.

Irrelevant if before and after was done on the same dyno. 10% on a stingy dyno is 10% unless the have some strange sliding scale calibration...

That V3 tune looks similiar to what you get with those cheap ebay +2 PSI plug and play chips.

From the front it looks like a Tucson

Wow, looks great!

Here is the video. Its not 100% instant, but pretty damn close.

ST line is just the ST appearance, no performance. ST implies it can go a little fast too.

I've got a video from outside my car, launching on Ice and all 4 wheels spin immediately. I believe getting off the line, the Edge should pull away with 4 wheels drive engaged all the time and then disengage when not needed. If you look at your AWD display it should confirm this. Let me know if you want the vid of the Ice launch

There are a lot of videos on youtube showing axle twister tests in Ford (Escape especially) and the AWD system does pretty good. I have seen tests where it out performs Subaru's assym. setup.

Pitty you dont ship to Canada

Im a new owner of a 2017 Ford Edge Sport. Traded in a 2014 Escape Titanium 2.0. I wanted more room and power. I just raced my brothers 2015 Jeep Cherokee FWD with the 3.2 engine. I lost by a car length 0-60. His vehicle destroyed my Escape. Im confused since his vehicle is stock and rated 15.1 in the quarter mile. Should I take my Edge in to the dealership and have checked out?

That is a great story...

Would love a video of a couple of WOT pulls from inside and outside. Go Pro on rear bumper would be great too :D

Fantastic job!!
