MaytagRepairman Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 It's smaller than my Freestyle, but weights ALOT more.WHY?? Let's crunch some numbers. You will get slightly different numbers depending on your source. I am using: Ford Vehicle Comparison 2007 Edge SEL FWD vs 2007 Freestyle Limited FWD The only way I can compare the two is to estimate them as rectangular bricks: Volume = Lenght X Width X (Height - Ground Clearance) Edge: Length 185.7" Width 75.8" Height 67.0" Ground Clearance 8.0" Height Adjusted for ground clearance: 59" Weight 4086 lbs Freestyle: Length 199.8" Width 74.4" Height 65.9" Ground Clearance 5.1" Height Adjusted for ground clearance: 60.8" Weight 3959 lbs Fresstyle is longer. Edge is wider. Freestyle is taller adjusted for ground clearance. Edge brick volume: 481 cubic feet Fresstyle brick volume: 523 cubic feet % difference: 8.7% Edge brick density: 8.5 lbs / cubic foot Freestyle brick density: 7.6 lbs / cubic foot % difference: 12% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJW Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Never mind. The difference isn't nearly what I thought. The actual difference could easily be the larger engine block and the auto tranny. (CVTs are very light) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
