JimPA Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Exodus - Thanks for the post. I liked the 2015 Edge Sport rims, preproduction better than the Sport rims in the 2015_EDGE_Preview_Guide PDF. I curious of other opinions.

Please let us know as soon as you hear anything. I’m curious to know if they are going to include the power folding mirrors and the individual tire pressure monitor.

blitz118 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't expect much until the LA auto show. Since Exodus is a Ford dealer hopefully, he/she can share some information with us before the L.A. auto show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Probably not other than ordering/production dates. Ford usually doesn't release details on new vehicles to dealers before the public. If they do they're embargoed. So don't get your hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't expect much until the LA auto show. Hope some of our forum members can make it out there and report the breaking news! January in DC would probably be too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeth Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I have been eyeing up a 2014 Sel model with the sel appearance package, but now I don't think that's going to happen. Is there any chance of the 2015 model getting an sel appearance package this go around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any chance of the 2015 model getting an sel appearance package this go around?There is no way to tell as of yet but I can tell you the 2014 model is going to continue to be built through 12/23. As I get more information I will post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they quote the torque numbers for the V6s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz118 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Did they quote the torque numbers for the V6s? The 2.7EB numbers are speculation, and Ford has not released any official HP/TQ numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 But educated speculation since the F150 numbers have already been released. Edge version will be FWD and different exhaust and probably tuned differently but the F150 numbers would be a good guide. F150 2.7L EB is 325 hp/375 lb/ft.

What did the RWD 3.5EB lose compared to the FWD 3.5EB? Something like 65 lb-ft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was the other way around - the FWD version came first at 365 then the F150 RWD at 420. The reason is the FWD 6F55 tranny could only handle 365 lb/ft - the computer limited the torque. Since the 6F55 can already handle at least 365 lb/ft there is no reason to limit the 2.7L EB to less than 365 hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F150 3.5 also had 365 HP but 420 lbs-ft. The 2015 Expedition has 370 HP & 420 lbs-ft while the Navigator has 380 HP & 460 lbs-ft.

Since the Edge is based on CD4 which was built to handle ecoboost power I'm sure it can handle 375 lb/ft from the 2.7L EB just fine with no need for torque management. My point was that the engine didn't lose 60 lb/ft going from RWD to FWD - they just had to limit the torque because the D3/D4 chassis and 6F55 trans couldn't handle 420 lb/ft. But it should handle 375. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normcloutier Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sure hope they improve the throttle response. Feels like there's a bungee cord connected to the throttle body and when you floor it, you have to wait for the bungee to stretch before acceleration starts.

I'm excited for the next MKX with this engine (or something more powerful). Just hope they screw it together better than the one I have... At under 6,000 miles there's more interior rattles, squeaks and pops than the 1990 Jeep Cherokee I used to have! My 11 Edge was definitely better assembled.
