I had 2019 Titanium for 7 days as rental in CA. Did 800+ miles. It was very good and quiet. The 2.0L turbo did really well in mountains and on hwy. Overall, I'd buy it. The interior was fine. Not too flashy. I think that their Titanium trim would do for me.

Do you want to risk paying for 2.0 ecoboost engine long block replacement due to coolant intrusion after powertrain warranty expires?

Yea I wish I could afford the Titanium trim but I can only afford SEL which I think it has very nice features

@@penvon Redline is far too biased on many reviews and generally spends most of his time focusing on "sportiness" ( or lack of) in every car he reviews. Alex offers far more details in a factual, unbiased manner. He also keeps in mind the intended purpose / customer of the vehicles he is reviewing and does not expect every car to be a sports car. Along with Redlines continuous passive aggressive digs Alex beats him hands down IMO.

We really liked the Edge but also liked the fact that the Lincoln had adaptive suspension, higher quality leather, better seats (with massage), and the longer warranty. We were looking at a top of the line edge and saw real value in getting into a Lincoln. That is exactly what we did. We bought a new 2017 Lincoln MKX Reserve with the 2.7 earlier this year instead of a newer 2018 Edge Sport for those reasons.

[@bigwilliestyleMD]

We recently purchased the 2019 edge titanium w/ “titanium elite” package and we (my wife’s car) couldn’t be happier with it. I highly, highly recommend the $800 “elite” package because it feels like a completely different car. In fact we test drove multiple regular titanium’s and had decided against getting one. For $800 you get better sound system, better interior trim on doors, handles, etc and better rims. I hope if AoA does a video on Edge titanium he does the elite package because we felt it to be a major upgrade at little price (considering sticker ~$50). Co pilot system w/ adaptive cruise is unmatched at any similar price range, and this is the first Ford to get it. Feels like Tesla’s Autopilot on freeway. Overall we love it! Test drove many competitors including 3 row and my wife absolutely loves it.

[@eskieman3948]

Gee, that's great, but don't tell "Ratridez" in this forum because he "owns his own mechanic shop and work on these peices of crap", and they're 'another fail from Ford". Another high school Chevy (junk) fan boi.

[@pdsterling]

One of my requirements for a recent purchase was the ability to hold my boxer dog crate plus luggage for vacations so I took the crate with me when looking at SUVs. In comparing the Edge to the Escape, the Edge was edged out because with the second row seats down, the cargo floor is not flat so the crate would not sit well in the rear. The rear opening of the Edge was also not as open as the Escape making getting the crate in & out more difficult. I ended up buying a CR-V. Cargo Volume (ft cubed): Escape = 68, Edge = 73.4, CR-V = 75.8.

The ST does come with a spare tire. I bought one on Monday and there is indeed a tire where that inflator kit is.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Gave serious consideration to the previous generation 2018 Edge "Sport" in the first quarter of last year. I liked the styling, the size, and the performance of the 2.7L turbo V6. But the family SUV is my wife's daily driver and she was less impressed. She wasn't willing to give up an occasional use third row of seating and found it challenging to locate the corners of the vehicle through the steeply raked windshield and long hood. Add to that the 50 Shades of Gray interior and it didn't make the cut. I don't think the "ST" badge would change her mind. I haven't owned a "domestic" vehicle in years but I had hopes for the Edge. Perhaps the ST will find a market among those who WANT a performance vehicle but NEED an SUV. Have to say, though, that the difference between a six second and a seven second 0-60 time in a family SUV may be appealing to stoplight drag racers yearning to recapture their inner adolescence it's probably irrelevant to most buyers.

[@Life_of_A_Man]

I actually like the styling but if I got one it would have to be equipped with the NA V6.

They are also water cooled and Ford designed this system to be able to operate and cycled at wide open throttle and maximum boost to maximum heat load for 10 minutes, then with instant engine shutoffs. That is about as stressful as a Turbo can get. These are not new engines anymore and these are not turbos from the 1980’s. EcoBoost engines are well into their second generation. They were first put into production in model year 2010. Millions have been produced and are running without any issues. How many more need to be produced and how many more years of issue free service do you need see before they meet your requirements?

[@eskieman3948]

Alex, in regards to your comparison of the Edge towards other competitors - one area where the Edge (not the ST model) is superior to the Santa Fe is the ride quality. I've driven LOTS of Edges over the past few years and their ride quality is pretty comfortable. The new '19 Santa Fe's ride quality is FIRM, PERIOD. Unfortunately, that's typical Korean suspension tuning for Hyundai - too bad they couldn't have borrowed the Kia Sorento engineers for a few days to tweak the Santa Fe's suspension, since the Sorento's ride quality is very good for a SUV. The Santa Fe's ride firmness was a deal breaker for my family. Had Hyundai tweaked their Santa Fe suspension more like the Sorento, I would have gladly bought a mid-grade Santa Fe with the regular non-turbo engine (more powerful than many reviewers imply, the MPG was good enough for me).

It will be pretty good besides road handling. It is probably going to be much less road hugging. But the problem with passport - it is stuck between Grand Cherokee and this. It is advertised as off road capable but carries 20 inch low profile tires in which you don't want to go off road.

[@10tenman10]

I agree that the Passport will fall into this category. Based on the reviews however it looks a lot nicer. Also the Honda 3.5L V6 is tried and true and reliable technology.

I also read that the Ford F-150 2.7 for 2019 is designed with port AND direct injection to help with this issue. BUT I cannot find where the 2.7 in the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus or Edge uses this new design. I need some feed back from someone that is knowledgeable and most importantly very trust worthy. As a long time subscriber I know that guy is you. Do you have any knowledge of the Nautilus engine, as that is the next purchase I intend to make. If the Nautilus does not use the new engine design, then I am going with the 2019 Lexus RX 350, as it does use both port and direct fuel injection. I hope you will find some time to advise.

No matter what you do to the edge, it won’t ever be a track weapon, so why put lipstick on a pig? I guess the nautilus could be seen as the ultimate iteration of that strategy, but at least it covers better for its humble beginnings.

The interior quality seems cheap, especially the fake carbon fiber looking plastic, and it really seems outdated given it is at the same price point as my Sorento. I like the Edge’s drivetrain, but in my opinion the Sorento wins and it’s not close. BTW, the adaptive cruise, and lane keep assist from Kia are amazing!

ryan r. I looked at the Sorrento if the Edges’ interior is 80 % plastic than the Sorrento’s is 110 %! The infotainment is onpar with Ford on it’s best day and subpar on a good day. The Sorrento also doesn’t do anything for me in the looks department

Common it’s a good SUV after all. restyle this more to the Mustang look as Chevy did to the Blazer then things will get much more interesting.

Anyone know the width of the cargo floor? Looking for 48 inches of flat space in the back of a vehicle. Thanks!

alex...isn't there an evennicer difference between the lincoln and the edge? from the pictures i have seen of both, the nautelis has no blind spot where the side mirrors are. for some starnge reason, ford opted toleave the blakened out front window corner area. if i remember correctly, it is ecause the mirrors are placed differenlty.

[@diycraftq8658]

should i go FORD ST EDGE or RDX ASPEC or what else in this price range 43-46K SUV crossover please guys advise

Alex, one very important point that you may have missed in your comparison between the new Lincoln Nautilus and the refreshed (?!) Edge - please go to 25:45, where pictures of the two vehicles sit side by side. Note the Lincoln's "A" pillar area, the placement of the review view mirrors on the door instead of the massive clump at the base of the A pillar, and finally, note how the Lincoln's hood is slightly lower and rolls off (in design) vs. the imbecilic ridges on each side of the Edge's hood. The key point? DRIVER VISIBILITY, and that is the main reason I won't buy an Edge. I need to see what's going on up front, not just "sorta" see with engineered blind spots. I've rented four Edges over the past four year, racked up well over 3k miles with them, and that continues to be a deal breaker for me.

The ST badge is such a joke on this car compared to the focus and fiesta ST. What a shame.

How so? It's right in line with the philosophy of the younger ST siblings. Take a nice powerful engine and put it in a package that handles a bit better than the standard car, make it look sporty and fancy and vamoose an ST line vehicle. Nothing different than a BMW ///M sport variant or Audi S-line or AMG.
