tucker_bmd Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Does anyone know if the 2011 Edge with the I4 EcoBoost will be available with AWD? For example, the 2011 Explorer with that engine is a FWD only. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harddrive747 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Does anyone know if the 2011 Edge with the I4 EcoBoost will be available with AWD? For example, the 2011 Explorer with that engine is a FWD only. Thanks. If you look at this thread, that has the Edge Order Guide. The 2011 Edge does not offer the I4 EcoBoost engine. It only comes with a 3.5 L or a 3.7 L V-6 and you can get that in either FWD or AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker_bmd Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 If you look at this release by Ford, http://www.thefordstory.com/our-plan-progress/new-2011-ford-edge-shown-at-chicago-auto-show/ it says they will offer the I4 Eco in the 2011, just not at the start of production. "In addition, the arrival of the new 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine in the months ahead will give customers still more choice and will deliver class-leading fuel economy with impressive power and torque. The new EcoBoost I-4 will be mated to a six-speed transmission that will help channel the impressive performance from the new EcoBoost engine. With the introduction of the 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4, fuel economy on the new Edge will be 30 percent better than it was in 2006. Plus, Ford’s newest EcoBoost engine will deliver on the promise of 15 percent fuel economy improvements versus the Edge’s current 3.5-liter V-6 engine while offering the performance feel of a six-cylinder." So, I was hoping someone in the know knows if it will come with AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Seeing the lack of AWD in the Explorer with the 2.0 EB leads be to believe the Edge will not offer it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Roll out of the 2.0L EcoBoost in the US is going slowly. Likely, because compared to the3.5L EcoBoost, there are multiple new suppliers involved, including (mostly) Ford supplied software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I've read it is coming next year with 240 HP and great gas mileage. I'd provide a link if only I could remember where I read it. Sorry. If I come across it again, I'll update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, ifork4u! Great news it's coming to the MKX as well! Since we are planning to buy one at the end of the year (well into MY2012), that would be great timing. :happy feet: Edited January 9, 2011 by EcoBoost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
