Platinum White Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 My son just bought a new 2010 F150 from a dealer. He got to talking about my 2009 Edge SEL and the salesman told him that I did NOT have a Multiple Displacement Engine in my 2009 Edge. Do I have a MDE or Not? Please Settle the dispute.

No multiple displacement on the Edge. Sorry, he's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pxb006 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 What is multiple displacement ? Variable displacement is an automobile engine technology that allows the engine displacement to change, by deactivating cylinders, for improved fuel economy.

bubbles Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I think that I read in my owners manual that the 2007 Edge engine will stop spark firing on 3 cylinders in the event that there is over heating or loss of coolant ?? You still might have amunition for your discussion with your son ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still might have amunition for your discussion with your son ? True but that's called Limp Home mode and limits the speed and distance you can travel. Can't really call that MDE.

MacLeod Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Personally I wouldnt want MDE. I just dont like the idea of cylinders shutting off and on again. Just seems like way too many opportunities for something to screw up. Granted I dont know of any big issues with MDE's of any make but I just cant get sold on them.
