2019 2.0 didn't get the engine cover, but all seem to still have the hood insulating pad. I think 2020 both were deleted. You have some of the attachment points for the engine cover. With the change to the location of the oil fill and dipstick for the 2019+ engine, the Ford engine cover is difficult to find for your 2019+ (I don't think they made one). The Lincoln badged one seems easier to source. There is a stud and a ball top that replaces a regular stud on the engine for one of the attachment points. Personally I think it helps a bit with the loud clacky high pressure direct injection injectors and pump. I left it off of my 2016 MKZ, and while it is subtle, there is more clacking, but it isn't silent (nor is it all that loud).

Apparently my family are aggressive cup holder users. The epoxy and other adhesives didn't work out, shocker, I know. I was going to get the POM plastic pop rivets and tool, but I figured I would try a 1/8 aluminum with a backing on both sides. I think this is the winner. I have a plastic welding kit I will do the 2 that don't have an open backside, but I won't be doing it again, I will order another cup holder. The gore: I found a decent length one, I have quite a few mismatched collections of rivets. I would have liked a little longer body, but these snapped the mandrel before enough pressure to break the plastic, and with the backers, shouldn't pull through.

2019+ got AWD disconnect is one difference, even it that doesn't mean the change is in the PTU.

I didn't have a warranty, and my 2019 8F35 died. They said they could pull it and diagnose it and fix it, with a cost of $4k-10k. I wimped out and just said replace it. I was not doing well with a household of 3 with 3 jobs and school and one vehicle. I sorta wish I had them diagnose it and fix it versus replace it, as that erased all gains of buying a used vehicle, but I think it is my last Ford, which would be weird with a 40 year Ford/Lincoln/Mercury only history.

Fusion wheel is the same(ish), and I think they more frequently have the paddle shifters than the Edge.

I think most get a used steering wheel, and depending on the wheel, just pull off the switches, back cover, and wiring and put them on their existing wheel, if the one they get is in worse shape than theirs, or doesn't have the right cruise switches. While the switches are available my themselves new or used, I don't think the rear cover is, many steering wheels I see for sale used on eBay they remove the paddle shifters, many have the rear cover with the holes but no paddle/switches.

Something seemed off last trip. My giant cup no longer required being pushed into the cup holder, and it wobbled. Come to find out the bottom on the front of was sagging, the fingers pushed out, and the rear one was lose and the rubber bottom had the tab out of reach between the pieces. Driving through dust storms and living in the desert these piano black panels are terrible looking in a day. So after pulling out the side trim of the center console, pulling up on the center console at the rear and front, and disconnecting the auto Stop/Start button, removed the cup holder section from the console. The sonic welded spots had all broken. elastic/silicone/rubber band that provides the resistance for the fingers that grip your cup(s) I just used a 2 part epoxy after roughing up the surfaces. I have the feeling I will be doing this again soon, I am going to get POM rivets for that now that I see what I am up against. Yes, I forgot to install the band before putting the bottom back on, so I had to get creative with it. These are $25 from online Ford dealers, so if I screw up too bad next time I will just buy a new one. But the posts and welds are pretty bad.

2023 rain sensing wipers are Titanium and ST only, not even optional or part of any packages for the SE/SEL/ST-Line. EDIT: removed as part of the 2021 sweeping changes.

A lot of either wrong manuals in your vehicles infotainment system, or...who knows. Creative interpretation? E15 is okay for 2001 and newer vehicles, some are grand fathered in due to the EPA testing them. Every Ford Edge. 2013 or newer, in the owners manual, states that not more than 15% ethanol. You know what is not more than 15%???? 15%. Sure, if I had bottomless pockets, or didn't drive 22,000 miles a year, or didn't have a appliance CUV, sure, always 91/93 pure gas 0% ethanol. Especially if it sat with a tank of gas for more than a few days, which mine doesn't. https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=9611&languageCode=en&countryCode=USA&moidRef=G2126645&Uid=G2170137&ProcUid=G2134123&userMarket=usa&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=we

Higher octane than recommended and under the ethanol percentage cut off, and same ethanol percentage as winter gas, and that is bad? I guess I think of this vehicle as just an appliance. Save $1200 a year in gas, 20%, is huge for me. I might have jumped to conclusions that it is related to the gas, or maybe it is fine when it isn't 110 degrees, or lower altitude than where I filled up. I still am trying to get the stored/historical code, but nothing is showing it. If you think that running 93 octane is the only way, good on you. It is an $.80 premium over 87 where I live, $12 a tank. Fill it twice a week, that is a steak dinner for a family. If it was my weekend toy, like my previous car, sure, it would get premium. 4,000 miles a year the difference is less than $200.

Not E85. Plenty of hard core tuned for E85 performance vehicles around me, they are used to getting 150 miles per tank. The smell of of burning is unique and easy to spot. I have never used E85, in an E85 capable vehicle the cost versus mpg doesn't work out. E15 is only 5% more than normal summer gas, and $5 a tank less in the middle of a 3000 mile week is appreciated especially after $5.79 a gallon in CA.

I didn't connect the dots the first time, and it is fairly rare to find Unleaded88, so I haven't filled up with it for a while. Once it happened again, I looked at my receipts and I had gotten Unleaded88 that last trip at some point. I will see if I can get the actual code set, but none of my code readers see a history/current/stored fault codes. My winter gas is 15% ethanol and 87 octane, but this time of year it is only 10%. Since I would be burning 80-90% of it at once, and it won't sit in the tank, and 30 cents cheaper for better performance a negligible hit in mpg (I think it gets the same or better, as I have used it coming down from higher elevations, as well as going to higher elevations). In May of this year a bill passed allowing year around distribution of E15, due to probable lack of gasoline (the one that everyone with a pre 2001 car freaked out about).

The owners manual (my 2019, your 2024) say specifically nothing over 15% ethanol, so Eco 88 should be fine.

I was driving on the interstate, adaptive cruise set to 82, ambient temp was 115 degrees. White background message, with a red upside down triangle and exclamation point, with the only word I caught out of the all of "slow" or "slowly". It went away in a couple of seconds so I couldn't read it. I don't see any alerts in the owners manual that sounds similar. Anyone know what the message might have been? Not only was it quick to disappear, the sun shining on the cluster made it hard to read also.

I normally do not have access to Unleaded 88. When I travel to Colorado through New Mexico, They offer 85 octane, 87 "mid", and 90 "premium". A few stations also have Eco88 (which is 87 octane regular unleaded mixed with E85 to a Ethanol content of 15%). It is $.30 cheaper than 85, and higher octane. My vehicle runs great with it, and the fuel mileage is close enough to using regular unleaded that there isn't a trackable difference. However this time after putting in 17.5 gallons in the tank (the 30 miles to empty alert was triggered, the gas station I had planned on stopping at was out of gas, the next one had a power outage), I got a CEL. When I look back to the last time this happened, I think I had a tank of Eco 88 also. The less than helpful message in the app is the same as last time, but it goes away before I can get it, and it isn't saved as a historical code, which is odd. I will try another reader, but Forscan or Torque app don't see any stored codes or pending, or current codes. It isn't happening during idle, it is after bombing down the highway at 85 mph for a couple hours. I filled up with 86 octane later on (used 85% of the tank of Eco 88), and continued on. Once it sat overnight (I had driven 12 hours, and wasn't up for checking the code) next startup the CEL was off.
