mikeand Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I just purchased a 2019 edge titanium with awd after being the happy owner of a 2011 edge limited. Very happy with the car except when I use the paddle shifters the transmission doesn't shift from 2nd to 3rd even though the display changes numbers. The dealer says it is normal and after my asking why in regular drive mode I see the gears changing they said that in regular mode the transmission shifts from 2nd to 4th skipping 3rd altogether. When I asked why there's a 3rd gear they said that that's what Ford engineers told them. Does anybody else have this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 It will skip gears under light throttle. That’s the benefit of having more gears. My 10 speed F150 shifts 1-3-5 under light throttle. I’ve also heard that 2nd and 3rd gear are very close to each other so it may be shifting and it’s just not that noticeable. Watch the tachometer as you shift.

mikeand Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Thanks for your input, My dealer gave me the same information, but it's always good to take them with a grain of salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Edge Sport Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 My 2018 Sport has the paddles as well. The only benefit that I see is when accelerating from 40+ MPH to drop to a lower gear than when in D mode. I don’t use the feature that often and wish my Edge Sport had more than the 6 speed tranny.

It's more useful when you want to hold a lower gear like on twisty roads or when descending a mountain. I've also used it to start off in 2nd gear sometimes. For everyday driving the forced downshift that you described is the only real benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
