  1. Apples to apples the new f150 is still over 1000 pounds heavier than the Edge sport....so I think we will see 0-60 times closer to 5.5 sec. The BMW x5 with 300 hp does 0-60 in 6.1 sec and it is 800 lbs heavier than the Edge.
  2. my dealer is still trying to get clarification on the heated steering wheel....I ordered mine on Jan 30, 2015 and my dealer anticipates delivery sometime early to mid april.
  3. hey John.....would like to see a pic of the new ride....welcome to the forums. Have checked ebay for updates to your nav.....you might be surprised what you find.
  4. Good point....guess only time will tell.
  5. Just a thought....if the engine difference between the Edge and mkx is just the tune....then why could you not just swap out the pcm?
  6. Great looking edge.....I really like the color and matching accents..... great attention to detail.
  7. Yup sure did....Rep said she is still in the process of verifying the Heated Steering wheel. The 51D package still exists but the only thing that is not available till 2016 is the adaptive steering(computer controlled steering ratio). Everything else is a go for 2015. So the video got it wrong, the adaptive cruise is still good to go!
  8. Great looking edge Mahan. ...great to see see people from all over in the forum
  9. Hmm. ....I ordered mine with the 51d.....it's on my confirmation order sheet. Just waiting to hear back from my dealer rep...to see if there are any issues.
  10. Other than the video, have you seen anywhere else that states the delay on the adaptive cruise control. One of the online sales reps from ford told me today, they had not heard of any issue with the adaptive cruise. They also do not list the driver pkg and touring package....so I dont think the build option online is very accurate.
  11. Thanks Tricia for all your help and I look forward to keeping in touch with my new edge as it makes its way through the delivery process.
  12. I emailed my dealer rep....to verify the info on the heated steering wheel and the adaptive cruise control. Did the dealership from New Hampshire check the 51D driver pkg?
  13. I belive It is all in the tuning. ....since the mkx is running 330hp and 370ft- lbs of torque. Just with tuning I believe these engines have a much higher ceiling. I wouldnt Be surprised to see 380hp And 400ft-lbs + ...with just a good tune.
  14. Thanks for the info omar32 Sweet.....the order code on my 2015 sports trans is 44c.....guess the " c " was the 6f55.......i knew they would need the heavier trans with 350 ft-lbs of torque.
  15. The performance of the 2.7 with 350 ft-lb of torque at 2750 rpm is going to vastly outperform the 3.7 in 0-60.....my guess the 0-60 times are gonna be mid 5 sec. With 350 ft-lb that early in the power band, the trans in the new edge will have to be beefier than the old trans in the 3.7.
  16. 350 lb-ft of torque at 2750......that beast is gonna hit like a sledgehammer. Ill be really surprised if the 0-60 numbers arent in the mid 5 seconds......Im glad I got the awd.
  17. My guess is that on the titanium, the heated steering wheel comes on the standard steering wheel and not on the standard sport, but if the sport is equiped with the optional power tilt steering wheel(via the 51D driver pkg) then it has the heated steering wheel.....I had this conversation with my dealer....and the 51D was the only way to get heated steering wheel in the sport. I would talk to your dealer tho to confirm this for yourself. If you notice ....no where does it indicate a touring pkg and I know there is one...Its code is 60T....and with that package you get the panoramic roof. I just think there is some confusion depending on the extra option pkgs vs independent options.....just my .02 cents worth.
  18. I just checked on the adaptive cruise and heated steering wheel and they are available on the sport under the 51D driver pkg. The rear heated seats are part of the 401A pkg.
  19. Ok.....it looks like the heated steering wheel is part of the driver pkg 51D with the pwr/tilt whl. My guess is it is not an option by itself with the manual tilt/telescopic steering wheel. I also checked on my order confirmation on the pano vista roof and it is not part of the 401A, ... the pano vista roof is part of the 60T touring pkg. My wife and I ordered a fully loaded sport so if anyone else has any questions about some of the order details, Id be more than happy to let you know what my order confirmation has on it.
  20. That is very strange......as I just order a sport a few weeks ago and one of the options was a heated steering wheel. ...I will take a look at my order sheet again to confirm.
  21. The statement about adaptive cruise control concerns me. ..as I ordered at 2015 edge sport with adaptive cruise....that order was placed on Feb01 2015. It was llisted as an option at the time of my order. Just a little confused?
  22. Thanks for the warm welcome.....Yes....Counting the days! My Dealer is conservatively saying it will be end of March/begining of April.
  23. Yes tires...is the key. Just switched to gtradial champiro ice pro....winter driving is now like summer driving....and up here in Alberta. ..I've had my share of winter driving. Should be able to find them in the us dirt cheep. Here is a link http://www.gtradial-us.com/en/CHAMPIRO_ICEPRO.html
  24. what the 315 and 350 numbers tell me...is that there will be some room for tuning.....as the MKX numbers demonstrate. Interesting to see what the SCT tuner can do for this 2.7...Ive been wanting a 300+hp twin turbo to tune since the 300zx days.
