akirby Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 No more than every other mfr. It might get the 3.3L from the F150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Isn’t Ford taking a chance by offering only a turbo in the 2019 Edge? Your opinions. Not really-generally speaking Ecoboost engines haven't been all that more problematic then NA engines. My experience with them (3.5L and 2.0L) is that they are far better drivers then NA engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blwnsmoke Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I love the 3.5 and 2.0 ecoboost. My next engine will be one, whether the 2.3, 2.7 or 3.0. They are fantastic motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisH Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Dont want a diesel. If Im being honest the 2.3 would be my engine of choice anyway I like my new 2.3. Its in a Mustang, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jqa1824 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I wouldnt be surprised if the take rate on the 3.5V6 was fairly small. Does anyone know what it was between 2015-present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just browsing local inventory it’s about even between the 2.0LEB and the 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimm44 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 In the WDC area it is about 75% for the 3.5 and 25% for the 2.0. What I notice is that in the lowest priced Edges it is more prevalent. In the Titanium’s the 3.5 is what is stocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Id have been fine with an EB Edge, but my Ti was in stock and exactly what I wanted and had the 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme4x4 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Isn’t Ford taking a chance by offering only a turbo in the 2019 Edge? Your opinions. I can't understand why. Today, most of the new vehicles are turning to either all or most turbo engines. My 2013 Explorer Sport currently has 83K miles on it, and the engine has been flawless. I have had to replace the electronic shifter (wouldn't read park, and is a known issue with those years) battery and maintenance, and that is all. It is still a blast to drive, and short of the transmission, I love pretty much everything about it. The 6-speed has never been fabulous, and I have noticed as it has aged it is more mediocre than it was. But still, no issues. Even the interior and all of the electronics have worked great. Frankly, I couldn't ask for a better vehicle. We will probably keep it forever. I don't even have a door ding. It is funny, because I have not been on in a while. The discussion about resale on Super Duty trucks is spot on. Our 2008 V10 F250 4x4 CrewCab Lariat has 92K miles on it. It is in excellent condition, and is an AZ truck. We could sell it today, for $25-26K. We paid $38,500. Amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Once you go turbo, you don't go back The way things are going, most of the Edge buyers in the next few years will be trading in something with a turbo (I'm guessing smaller CUV or midsize cars e.g. something like Escape. CR-V, Fusion, or Accord). So lack of a slow poke non-turbo option is not as big of a deal as say 3 or 4 years ago when a decent amount of Edge buyers were trading in non-turbo vehicles and may be resistant to the idea of a smaller turbo charged engine.

It's amazing and should show up in the next Explorer Sport/ST on the CD6 platform (RWD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme4x4 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Oh, I'm sure it will be fabulous. I just don't know that we are prepared to get another new vehicle for quite some time. Frankly, I'm tired of car payments. LOL However, it will be exciting to see it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford5 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I was hoping to have the 2.3 EB as an option to the 2.0 in the 19 Edge. I know the current 2.0 performs better than the 13 version when I opted for the 3.5 in my Edge. I would think Edge Titanium buyers would jump on the 2.3. For those in the know, any idea why Ford chose to keep the 2.3 out of the Edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the Mustang, MKC and now the Ranger starting up here soon the line the 2.3 is built on is going to be very busy for quite a while.
