thanks for your answers. interesting that you also had a 2016. I took the car for a quick test drive and it seemed to be quieter and squeek-free. i never used the top compartment but i did use the one on the left by the light switches. i keep a tennis ball in there so i don't have to hold the gas pump nozzle when they don't have the locking device. also interesting is that the lights were one of the main reasons you traded. same here.

 

 

 

i was thinking of going with black again but i was tempted by the blue.

 

 

 

i wouldn't mind the big display and also the fact that the '21 is Sync4 but it's not a deal breaker. the 8" display is adequate.

 

 

 

so are the four door windows laminated with the plastic sandwiched so they'll stay intact if they shatter?

 

well, i can now  officially join this ST sub-forum. I pulled the trigger. i stopped by the dealer where i take my '16 for service and told them that if they made me a really good deal I would take it. they did and I took it. so in two days i'll go pick up my brand new 2020 Edge ST in Ford Performance Blue. It has the 401A, the cargo accessory package and the 21" black wheels. I am psyched to get it. this will be the third edge we have (2009, 2016, and now 2020). I like the edge for its size and comfort and versatility. looking forward to the new tech, especially the headlights and adaptive cruise. those are the two biggest things that will make driving more comfortable.

 

i always de-badge my cars so one of the first things i'll do it take off the Edge and ST emblems from the back. I had a quick look at the ST emblem on the grill but it looks like it's built-in to the grill. maybe i'll just black it out.

 

of course, now i'll have to apply all the hacks like eliminating the double-honk when i leave the car with it running and a few others.

 

i'll post pics when the weather clears up a bit.

 

thanks to everyone who has replied on this thread. it's great to get other people's opinions and answers to questions.

This is great news! I'm sure you will love it. Our ST is performance blue also, it is a great color.

I bought my wife a 20 ST leftover and we have zero complaints at all. This car has adaptive headlights and are the best we've ever had in a car. We traded in a 15 Jeep Grand Cherokee for the ST and the new car is better in every way hands down. I would search the dealer inventories and hopefully find the color you want, I highly recommend this car.

Careful with Forscan as it turns off the advanced charging program that these new Fords use. 

 

I knew it disabled the BMS, I was not aware of the charging system issue. I did this on my 18 Raptor and have never experienced any problems. I'll just leave it go until I research this further. Again, thanks for your response

I apologize if this topic has been beat to death but just wanted to be certain of the Forscan codes to turn off Auto Start Stop on my 20 ST. I have not found anyone who has successfully done this on a 2020, I'm assuming it's the same as a 19 but just wanted to be sure. Thanks for your help
