punch-card Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Greetings everyone, I am looking at 2015 Edge Titanium AWD and I got a couple of questions. First, I have read several posting that the Drivers Assistance package would not be available till later? Because I have driven a couple the Titaniums, and neighter of them had Driver Assist. I am wondering because this was one the items the were equal between the Murano and the Edge. Does anyone have this option? Secondly, where are the fog lamps? Is see no option for these, but when I google it I found this image. Third, who in the heck came up with the color sample Congac, that is not congac, the real color is "Basketball" Best Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds71 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 the 51D(driver option) -package will not go into production until May 4, 2015. There is no fog lamp option in the driver pkg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch-card Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks for the information on the Drivers package, I will most likely not be ordering till the end of the month. As for fog lamps, I am not specifically looking at this package, I am saying, I do not see any option or package for fog lamps. Most other manufacturers have that option, and it looks like it was designed for that option. Maybe it is planned for the European models?

akirby Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 No mention of fog lamps in the order guide or the ford website and they're not in any official pictures. Could be available in other countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds71 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think I hear on autoline that the European version has the fog lights....but that was in brief discussion with the production manager and engineer. look for autoline " ford sharpens its Edge" on youtube....thats where I heard about the fog lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnetic Edge Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Drivers Assistance pkg is still listed as late availability. The fog lights are only for the China market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cab2g Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 are fog lamps really still necessary with today's narrow beam projection headlamps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 They were never really useful as fog lights anyway. I used them just to add a bit of extra illumination to the sides of the road - and for looks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THis is where I have gotten my information from: http://www.donlen.com/production-cars-ford.aspx Sorry, can't really elaborate. Just my salesman saying he checked with Ford Canada as to why my order wasn't going in build. He was told it wouldn't go through until September. I decided to order without the package. Haven't seen anything online about it.I'll be keeping an eye on this site to see if they update it sometime.

cds71 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 My order went in on Jan 31st and the vin was confirmed by the dealer and I ordered the 51D. So Ill keep you updated as to the progression of my build date and delivery.....my guess is Ill be seeing my edge sport sometime late May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch-card Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I emailed the sales person I had talked to at the dealership and he confirmed that the Drivers Assistance package delayed till September. ... I did some detective work of my own because I love to figure these sorts of things out. It turns out that what you read is true, there is a "commodity hold" on the Driver's Package 51D until September. I don't know whether or not it was originally slated for May, but when I go to look for vehicles that might already be equipped with the package, it's not even a selectable option. So, short answer long, September is the earliest we'll see a Driver's Package equipped 2015 Edge. ... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rss5 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I am also waiting on my Edge Sport with Driver's package. If it truly is delayed until September I'm not sure what to do. Should I remove the package from my order or delay until 2016's are being built so I can get my adaptive cruise and Sync 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds71 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 thats what I dont understand...if the late avail has been pushed to sept.....then I would think ford would be well into the 2016 production cycle so the whole sept date doesnt make much sense in relation to the 2015 production year!

Drivers Package (51D) will not be available until 09/07/15 That makes me feel better about picking up my new sport today! I didn't want to wait another 5 months.

cds71 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Picking my wife's Sport this Sat.....Yes I agree, the worst is not knowing.....and now we know, both my wife and I are fine with getting our sport asap.....without the 51D.

John Maurais Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Went to the dealer to look at the 2015 Edge Sport AWD, with 401A and was told the 51D couldn't be ordered. After being quoted a price, we decided to go home and think about it for a few days. The following Wednesday we returned to order the car (it wasn't in stock) and they told us they couldn't honor the price they gave us just 4 days earlier. BTW, Suntrup Ford in case your buying in St. Louis....stay away! So, we went to another dealer and was told we could in fact order it with the 51D Driver's Assistance Package. Made a deposit and now we wait. 2015 Edge, 401A, AWD, Panoramic Roof, 51D, in Ruby Red: $42,444 out the door (excluding admin fee, TT&L) MSRP: $47,980 UPDATE: go to post #22 in this thread.

Etienne Bégin Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 John, I recommend you challenge your dealer on the availability of 51D. Many members here agree it is not available and causes delays in ordering. I have no document from Ford I can show you to prove this is a fact. The dealer should have this information. Etienne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Maurais Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 On an earlier post I mentioned that we ordered a 2015 Edge Sport with the 51D package. That was last Wednesday. Flash forward to the following Monday.....I have a voicemail and its sales. According to him, the 51D order was accepted but now shows delayed. First to come off the line are first week of September. I asked if my order will stay in the system that long without "falling through the cracks" and forgotten about as we're willing to wait; not to mention the Sync3 should be in all Fords beginning this summer. His reply was that he would get with the "order guy" to find out for sure and get back to me tomorrow. Which, coincidentally I'm off and may be in the area. Maybe I'll stop by for a face to face. The sales rep also mentioned the cars rolling off the line in September may in fact be 2016s. I hope I'm not starting a rumor, its what I heard. In the meantime, the beater and the Harley are getting us around, for now. My only hope is that the incentive are just as good or better. Should I take the 12% off MSRP now with current Sync and without 51D...or wait and maybe price goes up, way up? Anyone else hear anything?

omar302 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Should I take the 12% off MSRP now with current Sync and without 51D...or wait and maybe price goes up, way up? John In my opinion, if you really are thinking of the 51D & Sync3, then wait. If you don't wait for them, you'll start regretting why you did not wait. Losing a little from not benefitting from the 12% offer is far easier than starting to regret not getting everything you wanted in your 40k+ vehicle, especially one that you ordered.

akirby Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wait for the 2016s. Might be later than September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnetic Edge Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Plus the '16 Sport might have a couple more items as standard equipment and possibly newly available options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
