JCrew7384 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 How can a premium SUV like the Edge ST not have power folding mirrors? My 2016 Explorer had them... That said, just took delivery of my brand new White Platinum ST with 401a and cold weather packages (plus 21" wheels). STOKED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimcrim Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I was just looking for this button the other day, and assumed I just couldn't find it. Do they not have power folding mirrors? Seems odd I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perblue Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 No. The mirrors fold but not powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz118 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) The US Edges never had power folding mirrors, but the 2016-2017 European models do. Please see the video below and go to the 6:36 mark. Edited January 31, 2019 by blitz118 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I define a premium price as something that's priced at more than what it's worth. Financial status has nothing to do with the conversation.

Financial status will usually vary the opinion of what one considers premium, that is why I included that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Ford includes power folding mirrors on the lincolns. If they gave every feature in both Ford and Lincoln it wouldn’t make sense. I would love to have them on mine but I definitely understand why it doesn’t have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford included power folding mirrors on the European Edges, so I don't see why they could not add it to the US model. Power folding mirrors come standard on some SUVs costing less than Edge.

There is no Lincoln Europe so Ford brand is not competing with itself. They also have specific requirements due to narrow roadways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford has a Vignale trim in Europe that includes a lot of the Lincoln only features because they don't sell Lincolns in Europe. Ford has also gone into cost cutting mode with this Edge/Nautilus refresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Premium simply means more stuff at a higher cost and it's all relative. Nautilus is a Premium over Edge. Edge Titanium is a premium over a base Edge. Has nothing to do with whether it's worth the added cost or not - that's a personal opinion.

Yeah, it was cheaper to make 2 letters instead of 5... I couldnt let that one pass. It was too good. Lol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
