2021 Ford Edge ST | Tweaked & Fixed!

[@ACCELER8TV]

Ford Edge ST vs. Explorer ST?

[@dorybleu1]

Hi Mike, great presentation as usual. I am glad Ford has made those improvements. Most significantly for me is the improvement of the integration of the touch screen. I absolutely hated the Explorer's application. I know the Tesla was the benchmark but for me, it was just too much in your face. This latest iteration is more refined and much more palatable :-). I used to travel for business often and Ford products including this one was always my rental of choice. I now just hope i will be able to find an ST on the rental circuit soon. Thanks again for a great presentation. You are always equally as entertaining as the substantive review. All the best, DD

[@dorybleu1]

BTW! Straight Pipes was my go-to number #1 for many years. And then you came! :-) You are now my number one and they are number two! Maybe it's something in the water in Canada! HaHa. All the best to both teams you guys do a great job!

[@lockheedload]

@What's Up? but they all don't have an ST. I have a 2019 edge st and wife has a 2020 explorer st. Hers is by far much better. Far faster and better in nearly every single way.

[@lockheedload]

@What's Up? just as it is yours.

[@philosopher7308]

The Edge st has a fantastic chunky muscular look. The short depressed hood is awesome and sets itself apart. from the driver perspective the hood appears to bump up above the wheels and feels very sporty. Lots of subtle design style like this that makes it simply look rad.

[@mustanghunts]

I am looking to buy this car. I have watched a lots of videos on it and your review is by far the best one. Thanks for the review!

[@Bbbbad724]

We have a 2022 and it is a sweet ride. The color is gorgeous Carbonated Gray. No complaints here. Great power and handling!

[@AkronKid330]

​@XTT162 I hear if you put a CAI and a tune in these, they are so fast.

[@angelberrios7843]

I want also echo your comments by saying video was very good!

[@ninosplace881]

I'm 61 and 260 and fit just fine in my 2021 ST. Love it so far just can't wait for them to bring some performance upgrades to the market

[@JTR253]

It doesn’t mean anything as you could be 5 ft 4 inches.

[@DudeDabster]

I put a rapid cold air intake and a pedal commander on my 2019 and it was well worth the mods.

[@3ak47_r7]

Just to point out(correct you), I have 2020 Edge ST (401A pckg) and I can confirm few things: 1. The passenger seat has the same adjustability as the drivers. 2. Both front and rear doors can be unlocked and locked with the hand sensing (keyless). 3. Both front driver and passenger door windows glass are laminated as well front windshield. Thank you for reviewing in depth the 21’ ST!

[@jackibillings4397]

I have one as well and I confirm that my 2020 has wireless charging.

[@VanquishedAgain]

I'm pretty sure there are only two changes. The vertical display and the programming out of 3rd gear. It's the same transmission just that it always skips a gear (as it should have in my 2020)

[@michaelkoscso4410]

Thank you. I'm picking up my 2019 ST tomorrow and you just made it like Christmas Eve. Looking forward to my new toy.. 😊

[@johnnorton9572]

How’s your car doing

[@AshleyDas777]

Finally an awesome reviewer who shows the back seats!!! Well done! Ty for the great inside look into this vehicle.

[@TIKO590]

I subscribed to your channel within the first 10 seconds. Absolutely love the 4K res and nice colors. Great work

[@Bbbbad724]

We got a 2022 ST and that thing is balls to the wall crazy. You hit it 1/3 throttle and glance down and it’s on 100 mph. !No not KPH, MPH. And they must have heard you. They really tightened it up. We got everything but the sunroof. That car will definitely run. We are running 89 octane and it loves it.

[@Gohot229]

Likely the Best presentation I have ever seen. You surpass Ben Wayne close, and Doug Demuro easily, though I like you all. Excelent detail on every nuance and mechanics/interior piece.

[@super19kh87]

Have a 2017 Sport, it doesn’t disappoint, there’s tuning available that would probably take the 6 speed close to its design limits and I’m not going to risk it, but I was hoping Ford would have considered the 3.0 twin turbo for 2021, 400hp would be a nice starting point for this SUV

[@Amor1990]

@@fatkatrabbit2885how is it now?

[@bonnieazzalia]

I have a 2013 Edge, I still love it, ppl still get in and go oh this is nice.. I'm like this old thing! I do want an ST though, even my current edge has to a lot of power. The trunk area is amazing

[@TK-xy5zm]

Great review, better than others I've seen on this vehicle. I love my '19 Edge ST.

[@TomGlander]

My OPINION: This is a superb vehicle. The performance is exceptional for the size.

[@MikeMUFC91]

Should of given it the Explorer digital cluster. That one looks a bit outdated now especially considering the huge center screen and that it wasn't updated from the last car. Good package overall though. I'm definitely curious. Looking for a good sized SUV with some power. A tune and some bolt ons might see 400hp. 👀

[@thedaybreaker5]

The Edge ST has more colors on that notepad than it does with ambient lighting

[@qwest1000]

Thanks. This is an excellent rundown on the 2021 ST. I have a 2020 ST (blue of course!) and absolutely love it X100. I like my smaller touchscreen better.

[@TK-xy5zm]

Yeah I've got the '19 Edge ST and don't mind the sync 3 either. Awesome vehicle!

[@kc4501]

The Big Blue Oval needs to be Blue!!! Love the Edge and this ST looks fun!

[@mikedukarm7194]

Just received the ST with the 401A package with the break package, carbonized grey

[@3joewj]

Cool, how is the suspension and is there much body roll? Thanks, Joe

[@kc4501]

Also, Edge owners LOVE the Edge-the comfort is the best and the look is great. If you give iI hips it looks like the not so attractive BMW crossovers. Edge owners love the sleekness. Try not to be so harsh :-)

[@InstinctiveFirearmReviews]

Edge St is dope especially in the Green. 🔥

[@scottmcalpine5056]

The proper unit of torque is lb-ft. (or N-m in SI). Ft-lb is the unit for work or energy. Equal to the work done by 1 lb of force acting through a linear distance of 1 foot. People like to interchange them, however they are really two different things.

[@lifeoutdoors2day357]

That weird forward pocket in the console is for the key fob; to start the car if the fob's battery is dead.

[@alanarnold1363]

Also to set my key

[@resplen1]

The hidden pocket in the center console, is for when your FOB key dies. Just place the dead fob in there and you can start your car.

[@tonyahall395]

I have that exact car. I've only had it for one full day so far. I like it. My husband thinks it should have the cover over the motor but other than that, i like it a lot!

[@ACCELER8TV]

Nice!

[@AnythingAuto]

great job! one of the best reviews i have ever seen

[@bobbymarshall6202]

I am considering purchasing a 2021 ST but have read some “iffy” reviews. I love the exterior looks and twin turbo power. I own a Lexus NX 200t F Sport now so this would be a huge change. I’m glad Ford switched out that older infotainment center for this larger, updated one. Any feedback from ST owners are appreciated!

[@PeterTriChi]

Awesome review overall. Little too much focus on Notes, but everything else was excellent!

[@alexkluh1407]

I like these a lot. Comparatively with how they are optioned and the performance they offer there really isn’t anything close that is anywhere near it I’m price, especially if you find one that’s a year old, it seems to be an amazing bargain

[@rosettedsouza7265]

Thanks Mike, great review and video. The dealership does not explain how the technology works or what options are there to be had, at least here in BC. I tend to drive the cars again after your review comes up, then I understand what I should have been told in the first place, by the dealership! Best wishes from BC, Bob and Rosette

[@ACCELER8TV]

Yes! Appreciate it!

[@rockys7726]

I'm average 5'8" and I felt the side bolsters immediately when I sat down. On long drives I felt they dig into my thighs a little as well.

[@TheSkullknight12]

Why would you want to write on a screen while you are driving? Seems dangerous.

[@pooh4519]

To write down the plate # of the drunk driver.

[@G8Thunder]

Front looks good. Back looks like a van to me. I want to like these more but I just keep looking at things like the Q5/SQ5 and Passport to have something I like and that can tow 2k+.

[@PlayWaves1]

Great review, Subbed.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Thanks for the sub!

[@mindofmission]

Great review. Thanks! The oval needs to be BLACK!! The cubby hole in the console: used to place the key fob in, when the fob battery has died but you still need to get home.

[@Boblib1970]

Paint should be voice activated so that you can use it while driving. What good is it if you have to stop, pull over, and put it in park to take a note?

[@krisaunedi4920]

Hey Mike cool vlog. The Edge ST for sure because I like the look of it but I would still prefer my Porsche Cayenne turbo S E-Hybrid. Hard to beat German engineering. Which one would you buy!!!

[@robertaechum5925]

How’s the stereo system?

[@proudsoles2034]

Great, they are pretty damn good

[@kobedickerson7830]

I think an explanation for the car not having touch entry on the back handles is either because of the part shortage (same with the engine cover & sound deadening) or because you don’t have the fully loaded version with the upgraded brakes. My moms 2019 ST and my 2018 sport both are fully loaded and have them on all 4 doors.

[@proudsoles2034]

They definitely cheaper out the 2021. I got mine custom built and wasn’t offered a brake package, no wireless charging, my sync 4 is wonky, didn’t even get my moon roof smh. I overlooked the roof bc I hadn’t had a car whilst waiting for the build. But there’s no engine cover either :/

[@kobedickerson7830]

@@proudsoles2034 well hopefully they get their shit together before I put money down on a ‘23 🙃😂

[@wompa70]

I would definitely rather pay for the Edge ST over the SQ5. With the ST at 335/380 and the SQ5 at 349/369 the power numbers are close. Personally, I didn't realize how close.

[@randomguy-xp7se]

Much cheaper than an audi to maintain i wager

[@paulpellico3797]

what was your experience with the rear wheels waking up when an AWD situation was called for? if slow, would they REALLY be any help in making you a better, safer driver in cornering???? is there a breaking thing going on to help in cornering??

[@KiwiBrowne]

Do the passenger doors open fully to 90 degrees? This was not covered. And it would help if you had a flashlight so we could see how big the back area is...hard to see when everything is black. Thank you.

[@anangelofthailand771]

It's looking good 😍😍😍 do we have a chance to get them in the UK?!

[@brianbarriger8553]

So much to like about the Edge ST. I had the 2015 Edge Sport and loved it. UNFORTUNATELY.....even the 2022 ST has the same Dash Guages as the 2015 had, with basically ZERO improvements of any kind. The SAME Dash Guages for (remember it was designed in 2014 for a 2015 launch when I bought it back then) 8 years!!!!!! Very LAZY Ford team!!!!! No Power Folding Mirrors, No Roof Rails as mentioned, No HUD. Still a very good vehicle, but Ford really has been lazy with this vehicle and could have made it really fantastic. But they didn't..... very sad!!!! And a really GREAT REVIEW!!!!!

[@CrystalKat]

Is this going to be available in the US? 🤞🏼

[@walt9nic]

Yea, my 2019 seats do that. Glad there is plenty of upholstery .

[@Stainlessautos]

When do we get an escape st? I think it honestly makes the most sense as I has better handling characteristics than either the edge or explorer. 2.3 with 320hp 350tq awd system from the bronco sport/focus rs.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Really good question!

[@stephenhendricks103]

A correction for US viewers. The $38,440 USD MSRP shown in the video (5:13) is for the "ST-Line" not the full fledged ST. That model begins at $43,600 and quickly rises to over $50,000 USD with options. I'm not sure about the MSRP for the ST in Canada but if it's less than $50,000 (Canadian) with the options shown in the video, it's quite a bargain.

[@RDYOUTUBE54]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that because I paid a hell of a lot more for mine.

[@andresara4711]

In Canada is 7k more, but you can actually get it cheaper on Christmas or if you buy it as Demo, the car is gorgeous but ridiculously expensive, that's a Telluride SX price there with better technology and luxurious interior.

[@khronin]

53k here with brake package.

[@RDYOUTUBE54]

@@khronin That's what my window sticker says.

[@webhito]

Yup, its an 8 speed that skips a gear, the 2-3 shift is pointless and affects performance, I have a 2019 and always have this issue when manually shifting. The other issue I had was a loud clunk when going from parked to drive or to reverse, this was fixed with an update from Ford. Otherwise, its a pretty decent SUV.

[@andresara4711]

Omg so true I frkn hate the 2-3 shift, it actually jerks and push you to front a bit, the 10 speed from the explorer has smooth shifting and better fuel economy if you go for the 2.3L

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

Yep, I still get the clunk when shifting from drive to reverse from time to time. I received the first trans update but was told there wasn’t another one. When I received the vehicle in late 2018, the trans tune was HORRIBLE!

[@webhito]

@@TheRealSmithFamily Supposedly there have been two, they reset mine initially which did diddly squat, when they finally decided to flash it solved most of the clunking ( have had it on 2 ocasions since a year or so ). Can't recall which version I received though.

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

@@webhito yeah, I didn’t get mine reset. It was a full on reflash and the difference was immediately noticed. Just listening to this video tells me the shifting is greatly improved over the 8 speed. 🤞🏼, I think I’m going to order a 2022.

[@webhito]

@@TheRealSmithFamily When you do and if you do I would like to hear back from you, I am upgrading to an explorer as I need the extra space but the edge was a really nice ride except of course the transmission. Not sure why they aren't just adding a 10 speed like everything else is.

Your video has been me decide to go do a test drive on this model.

[@genxeratl]

I have the '14 Sport as well and absolutely love it. I've been waiting for the larger screen and newer features myself and am looking to probably buy the '22 or '23 (supposedly the last model year for the Edge). My biggest concerns are that the new ones don't come with the 22" rims like the '14 (which is really disappointing - those all-black wheels are going to really suck to have refinished if you hit a curb) and I absolutely hate the shift knob versus the stick type shifter (no place to rest my hand otherwise).

Price? You are not supposed to be messing with the screen as you are driving! You also cannot add a Nav destination address (by typing) when you are moving (except by voice). Tho they should ask if you are a passenger or not and then allow you to make changes etc ..

[@tony8074]

Really hate the rear lights. I have a 2018 Titanium and I think the way the rear lights up is slick.

[@jeffrobertson6019]

I have a 2019 Escape SE AWD. And I experience the same hard shifts in my tranny. Around the second and third shifts. I've have had some very hard ones, it's felt like I've been hit from behind. Had them check it twice and no fix. I also get a small buzzing sound when in reverse. I do like Ford's, and I like this Edge a lot. Or I was thinking about a Escape Hybrid as well. What do you think?

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

I am one year late!! Also I still get one bro.

[@jayhawker03]

Ford should have given the ‘19+ edges the 2.3 Ecoboost instead of the 2.0. The Lincoln MkC was shipped with that engine as an option and with the weight of the edge, 240hp just doesn’t cut it. More people probably would have been impressed with the edge if the base engine was zippy but that may have taken some ST sales. Anyway, missed opportunity.

I wish Ford would grow a brain. This is suppose to be their flagship 2 row SUV. Why the hell don't they make it rear wheel bias and use the engine that's in the explorer? You would have to spend a lot of money to compete with it if it had that 400 hp engine. And stiffen the damn thing up, if people don't like it they can buy the luxury model. And this is coming from someone who owns one.

[@superbrownbrown]

*The 400 horsepower engine being made available in the Ford Edge (and the Lincoln Nautilus) would be AWESOME.*

[@RDYOUTUBE54]

@@superbrownbrown yes it would, and leave the price alone, it already costs too much money. Not to mention that 400hp engine doesn't cost anymore to build. Honestly they could get to 400hp with just a different tune. And I highly doubt that going rear wheel bias would cost anymore.

[@superbrownbrown]

@@RDKZbin54 *Well I would still opt for the AWD anyway, regardless of build bias, so it wouldn't matter that much to me in that regard. It would still be a rocket with AWD and the 400 horsepower engine. Also, why change the tune? Just make the breaking system beefier. Otherwise, what would be the point of the upgrade? I've got a 2017 Lincoln Continental AWD with the 400 horsepower engine, and that thing is sweet.*
