The Edge has not been discontinued.
Edge's (Nautilus's too, obviously) and F-150's are piling up outside of the factories because they are missing certain semiconductors. Once Ford gets and installs them, these vehicles will be shipped to dealers.
So glad my wife vetoed the 2021 big screen, we got a tremendous deal on the 2020 ST, got it without the 401A package (there is no Cold Weather Package for 2021, so to get the heated steering wheel the 2021 forces 401A on you and we hate sunroofs). Not to mention we still would not have a car and we've been driving the 2020 for almost 4 months now.
The dealer in Apache Junction, Az up until a week or two ago had a 2020 with 400A and 360 option for 35K and change, which was a great deal in my book. We got a 2020 dealer service loaner last summer with 1500 miles on it for 34K and change, however it did not have the 360 option(Nav, adaptive cruise and other things).

We have a 2020 Edge ST and have sold our pickup and commuter travel trailer that we used for the last two and a half years for the annual migration to Arizona in the fall and back to Washington for the summer. This winter we bought a Can Am Spyder RT-L three wheel motor cycle. I am thinking about buying an aluminum 6'x 12' footer utility trailer to be able to take the Spyder back and forth behind the Edge. The trike requires 10' length of floor space and I would put a diamond plate storage box ahead of the trike in the front of the trailer and one of the angle sided boxes on the tongue A frame for addition storage. So we would spread the load of things that might other wise be in the SUV for the migration between the SUV and trailer. So trike 1000 lbs + Trailer with boxes 650 lbs and stuff in the boxes I would be around 2000 +/-, which is well within the ST's 3500 lb tow rating and below the 30 sq ft frontal rating. My question is has anyone towed a similar load weight and frontal area wise, and how did/does the Edge handle it, plus impact on fuel mileage? Thanks Chris

Haha, surprised you waited this long! I had mine installed the first weekend after I took my ST home
Car was stored from September until a 10 days ago.
On edit: I am really happy with the Autostop eliminator! Do not have to even think about the stupid feature anymore.

Got the mail forwarded from up North and this February 2021 recall was included in the mail. They are going to replace the rear view cameras.

There is also a max 30 sq ft frontal rating, that most travel trailers will exceed. Towing a 3500 lb low utility or boat is a lot different than a travel trailer. Get a tent trailer or pop up trailer.

Just picked up a 2020 Edge ST to replace the 2018 Edge Titanium coming off lease. I have the same 2.7 in a F-150 and love it. It completely remakes the Edge. Besides the much improved performance the NVH from the 2.0 is gone. It's so much more BMW like. Transmission shifts fine (11/2020 build). I had the 301A package on both the 2018 and 2019 Edges and we discussed that we never used any of the features except for the heated rear seats. So we skipped the 401A. We did get the Co-Pilot 360 Assist+ however, I do like the adaptive cruise. The adaptive headlights would have been nice. The sunroof and park assist are a waste of money, never touched either. In fact, I see the giant sunroof as a negative, a potential creaky, leaky nuisance. Spec'd the 20" wheels, not a fan of all black on anything but a black car, and I figure the lighter wheel and tire combo will ride better, accelerate and brake better and have no noticeable difference in grip. I forget how much better the B&O stereo is, haven't driven the 2019 in a while. Got 25 MPG on the drive home from the dealer.
Wife wishes there was still a CD player. Otherwise it's the best iteration of the Edge. Did not consider waiting for a 2021, she absolutely hates the giant screen on the 2021. Got $8000 off the 2020, fresh off the truck and 0% for 60 months, doubt there will be that kind of incentives on the 2021 for quite while anyway.
What color is it. In June we bought a 2020 Dealer loaner(1500 miles on it) with 400A packaged Performance Blue ST. We do not like sun roofs!! Wish it would have had the C0-Pilot 360, but for 10K off sticker it was hard to turn down. Love driving it in the twisties. Wanted to buy a second one for our winter place in Arizona, however did not have a place to park it. So got this instead.

I had a 1967 SS/RS 350 Camaro and according to the spec's our 2020 ST would run away and hide from the Camaro, in the 0-60, 1/4 mile and twisties, with a motor less than half the size.

So I want to buy a second Edge ST for our snowbird time in Arizona, however we have no place to park it. SO! We bought this new to us 2018 Can Am Spyder RT Limited Chrome addition. Finished a two day Trike training class today. It fits in the car port along with our 2015 RAM 3500 SRW SB

Has anyone figured out if 0-60 and 1/4 mile times improved with the June 2nd tranny TSB? If the tranny is shifting better, maybe it will match or beat the Sport now, given the higher HP rating. C n D are you listening?

Love our ST. Would like to have a second one for winter home in Arizona.

So I tried the paddle shifting in sport mode and while it's a little funny, it's irrelevant to us as we don't ever use the paddles. If I want to shift for myself I have a 19 GT/CS with a 6-speed manual for that. ?
Our summer park has a 5 MPH speed limit and it is ten minutes to the gate. 360 Acers and 22 miles of roads inside the park with 1485 sites. SO, I put the Edge ST in Sport and paddle lock it in 1st gear, instead of riding the breaks all the way to the gate or to the site coming back home. With my 2015 RAM 3500, there are less steps to lock it in 1st, and I do it with the truck also. The Edge brakes will never last as long as the trucks, as I run with the exhaust brake on all the time and that really cuts down on service brake use. Let up on the Edge and it just continues to roll on without slowing much. Just don't follow the truck to closely as the brake lights seldom come on.

I don't think a longitudinal mounted V6 would fit in the CD4 platform.. Also the 10 speed wouldn't fit under the car with a transfer case and front differential. I would love to see someone mod one but it would probably be easier to make an explorer simply look like an edge.
Then you would not think a cop was behind or coming towards you on the highway.

In the quarter mile, the Edge ST records the same 14.7-second elapsed time as the 2016 Edge Sport, but slightly faster at 93.4 mph versus 92.9. The ST is still eating the 2015 Edge Sport's dust, with its 14.3-second run at 95.9 mph. There's more to it than the handling, though.

So...my 2015 is even faster lolll
Glad I got a 2015

Ford seems challenged to even have things like seat, mirrors, HVAC, radio, etc tied to which FOB was used to open the door, much less improve the drivers dash and center stack.

Spends less time shifting gears! Or the Sport they compared to was broken in better!

Just bought a new 2020 ST and the floor mats are plain black. They arent even branded with "Edge" much less "ST". Just want to make sure the dealer is giving me the mats thats supposed to come with the car. Anyone else with a new ST that has same/different mat?
Now, the B&O audio with SYNC 3. I dont listen to music a ton but listen to audiobooks instead. They played beautifully in my 2011 Edge with a Sync 2 system but this new car wants to show all 21,000 mp3 on a single screen. No folders in sight that I can tell. Am I missing something?
Thx
They should look like this! Chris

I just had 35% ceramic tint put on the two front door windows and am thinking about 50% on the windshield. AZ is going to be hot this summer and we may be staying all summer this year. Has anyone done their windshield and is so did it help of the dash reflection up onto the windshield?
