Sean Jones Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hey guys just got back from the dealership. Was asking about pricing anf when the expect 2015 Edge to come in. Was told that they expect them in the summer, then later on was told maybe a month. I had read on here (I think) that they "should" arrive my early March. Anyways, salesman told me that they only ordered a few Edge's, 3 SEL and 1 titanium, from the job 1 line and won't make another order until job 2 is in production. I was told they will have lots of the job 2's, just need to wait. I asked why wait until job 2 and he said it's because no job 1 Edge will have a heated steering wheel. So I guess my question is has anybody heard this about the steering wheel? I haven't heard a thing. Second, when does job 2 ususally start? Is there a specific time frame for when job 2 starts on vehicles or is it just when they change something? Maybe hopefully job 2 will also include sync 3. I'm getting impatient waiting for these to get here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds71 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 my dealer is still trying to get clarification on the heated steering wheel....I ordered mine on Jan 30, 2015 and my dealer anticipates delivery sometime early to mid april. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 They are being built now - could start shipping tomorrow or next week or the week after. Doubt it would be more than another month. Job 2 could be a month later or 8 months later. If you really want the heated wheel wait a couple of months and see what happens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting impatient waiting for these to get here! Maybe instead of job 2 they will just call it the 2016 Ford Edge ? Bring in heated steering wheel in sport trim and All new Synx 3 that going to be in all 2016 and later Ford Models. I am going to wait before ordering . Most car manufactures and other Ford models are already advertising there 2016 that are coming out in couple months. They could of did like Volvo did this year with naming the Volvo XC60 a 2015.5 year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could of did like Volvo did this year with naming the Volvo XC60 a 2015.5 year. What's the point of the 2015.5 designation since the vin will either reflect it as a '15 or '16? Kind of how all the first year Mustangs were technically 1965's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Maynard Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 http://t.bp3.ford.com/2015-Ford-Edge?branding=1&lang=en#/Exterior/Config[|Ford|Edge|2015|1|1.|401A.K4A..H8...99P.AWD.NON.SPORT.] Looks like Drive's Assistance Package $1,300 in Sport trim says " Late Availability" so probably coming in Job 2 ( 2016 ) model year. Same with the 21' black optional wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 If it says late availability it will be out before the 2016 models. My guess would be 2-3 months but it could be sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Job 2 is usually 90 days after Job 1. Most people don't realize that the model year designation plays a big part in CAFE calculations. OEMs will often juggle the timing of model years to help balance CAFE, for example if Ford expects to sell a lot of 2015 V8 Mustangs, they might consider extending the 2015 model year of the Focus. The CAFE calculation averages the total volume of the model year, not the calendar year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) What's the point of the 2015.5 designation since the vin will either reflect it as a '15 or '16? Kind of how all the first year Mustangs were technically 1965's. Actually, it wasn't just a technicality. Ford never called the first Mustang a 64.5 - that was an enthusiast thing. Ford introduced the Mustang in April 1964 but it was always designated as a 1965 model. At that time it seemed really early because all of the domestic manufacturers introduced their new model years in the fall - so the Mustang was about five months early. These days even collectors don't care about 64.5 versus 65. Edited February 19, 2015 by TheWizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
