MNFlatland Edge Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Greetings, I have just picked up a clean 2016 with 54K on the clock. This would be my second Edge and always enjoyed them. So after 1 week ownership the 2016 went back into the shop for a couple items to be fixed by the selling dealer and they loaned me a used 2019 off the lot. The engines appear to be the same essentially, but the difference in performance and smoothness are blowing me away. For those with experience, is the 2019 8 speed that much more improved over the 2016 6 speed transmission, or is something wrong with my 2016 ? LOL To me the difference is significant, and to date I have little experience with the overall 2.0 set-up from Ford. Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 2.0 and 2.7 transmissions are the same family but not the same build. xx35 series is 2.0 paired, xx55 series is 2.7 paired in gen 2 xx37 for 2.0, xx57 for 2.7 in gen 2.5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normkol Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 The 2016 engine makes 245hp and 275lb. torque, while the 2019 has been tweaked to 250 and 280. With the addition of the 8 speed automatic, the combination has recorded better acceleration in all the road tests I have read. I have the 2016, it's ok but from what I have read I wish I had the later version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2FAST4U Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Having had a V6 2016 which I traded for my current 4 cyl. 2019, I can say that the 2019 is more "peppier but I don't know if it has something to do with the transmission...

In a 2.0 titanium edition My edge takes off in 2nd gear.. Putting it in sport mode at a stop the tech and gear indicator comes on.. Dropping it into 1st manually. Its a rocket up till shift time...looking it up it has a 4.69:1 1st gear.. Nothing can see me off the line till 20mph..haha. Wife bitched at the 52k 2.7l ST price...i paid 44k for mine..all options..ive got a 98 turbod svt cobra..for 20 years so I did.push it. Its not worth buying a new car iver it or swapping trannies.. I done many gear swaps..8.8s are easy.. Maybe up your gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
