mleber Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hello - Does anyone know if the 2011 Edge Sport has a power liftgate as an option? It is part of the Drivers Entry Package option. $895. Definitely a good package to get for the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Why don't you go to fordvehicles.com and look for yourself? To be fair, it's not one of the options that just leaps out at you, as it is buried down in the list of things included in the Driver Entry Package.

akirby Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Come on, how is that helpful? Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Seriously - why would you take the time to post a question and wait hours or days for someone else to do the research and give you the answer when you could take 5 minutes and look it up yourself?

susido Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Here's something that ain't in the manual - what's the opening and closing time for the power liftgate at a given temperature? I don't expect there's any actual measurements but I'd like general impressions. I been with people who have power gates on other makes and some of them seem PAINFULLY slow to me.

I'd guess 4-5 seconds to open and 5-6 to close (including the warning beeps). Temp doesn't seem to matter. I think it's as fast as it can practically be and still be safe.

dreamss Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 It's definitely a worthy option, once you have it, you wouldn't want to be without it. Always use it when our hands are full, groceries, or whenever we need to put something inside, not to mention, we get to bring the groceries from the car inside then close the door via remote, we don't have to put the groceries down outside to do that. It may not be a big deal in the summer, but on rainy days or when ground is covered in snow, it's nice to simply pick up the bags, box, or whatever and just go inside and close it by simply the press of a button.

emeraldtx Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 ...It may not be a big deal in the summer, ... Tony It is if you live in deep south Texas! I am SO looking forward to using this thing on the string of 100-degrees-plus months we call summer. My first thought is popping the gate as I'm walking to the car to let the hot air out... remote start & get that air-conditioning running.... Gah. Need my Edge to hurry up & get here, so I can play with it!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnboy14 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Can you also open/close the tailgate manually if you have this option or do you have to use the power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Can you also open/close the tailgate manually if you have this option or do you have to use the power? You can operate it manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remote start is really nice during the heat. you just have to be in range of the remote start and give it enough time to run to get the AC cold. It doesnt happen immediately. So say you start the vehicle the second you walk out the grocery store and by the time you get the vehicle the AC hasnt run long enough to blow anything but hot air around inside.

johnboy14 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 You can operate it manually. Excellent. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnk0121 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You can operate it manually. For all intents and purposes... But in a technical sense, I believe you are really still operating it with the power. There is a button on the outside of the door that lets you tell the door to open, thus the pseudo-manually. But I don't believe you can really lift or close it through solely your moving the hatch. It seems that would possibly cause a problem with the power arm.

EcoBoost Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Seriously - why would you take the time to post a question and wait hours or days for someone else to do the research and give you the answer when you could take 5 minutes and look it up yourself? Well, since you can basically find ANY information somewhere on the internet...let's close this forum.. :reading: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
