Blue Bomber Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I switched my 2015 Edge Sport for a 2019 Edge ST. The new Edge ST drives excellent and the eight speed transmission which replaces the six speed makes a world of difference. On the negative side Ford has cheapened some aspects of the new model over the old example: there used to be a small change draw left of the steering wheel now it has a closed cover, also I noticed the rear passenger doors feel lighter but I am assuming that is a playoff to get the extra horsepower. Either way all and all I am very happy so far and definitely feel the odd small changes are not in anyway putting me off driving this powerful and over the top safety featured SUV. Happy and safe motoring to all. Mitchell (AKA The Blue Bomber) PS. I couldn't wait for the sportier brakes package to come out but short of that I took the 401a including the winter package with 21" wheels 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmantis Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Love that orange color and wish I had found one instead of silver but the new name fits and that ST is sweet!!! Edited December 18, 2018 by cmantis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, how do you feel the power difference between the two? Also, how are the LED head lights at night compared to the HID on the 2015 (assuming you had factory HID)?

Blue Bomber Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi Omar302 It was a simple swap. As for the power you definitely feel a difference in the sports mode, they are both powerful vehicles but I feel the eight speed transmission is much smoother drive, the Sport is more raw, more like driving the the F150 the engine came out off. The lights on the 2015 were barely livable but the ST are 100% better, it's like 'day and night' (pardon my pun!) the difference. Having said that I still only have 750 miles on my clock so maybe in another couple of thousand miles I will have much clearer thoughts on how the ST manages a NY/NJ winter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bomber Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Thanks cmantis, When I brought home the Edge Sport my wife took one look at the color and thought I was having a late mid-life crisis but she came to love it like I did! Best described by a relatives young daughter after they had a new born. The same color as baby pooh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
