NYMarcus Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hello everyone, I'm new to this room. I'm still living in Germany but will move to NY at the end of the year. I' ve seen the Edge a couple times over there and I really like it from the moment I saw it first driving on the road. So I did my researches on the internet and it really gets very good feedbacks. I made a decision and I'm thinking of buying one this year. As many other Ford models does this CUV has a gear shift display ? I've never seen it on interior pictures . If one of an Edge owner could reply on this message that would be very helpful . Thank you !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1duFos Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) No the Edge does not have a gear display on the dash, you have to look down to see what gear you are in, D, L, etc., does not show gears 1 to 6 anywhere, Ford dropped the ball by not displaying the gears.

L1TECH Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 You can't select different forward gears in the 07-10 Edge so what use would it be to have an indicator in the dash that tell syou what gear it is actually in. Now if you need it there to tell you if you are in park, reverse or neutral then you have other issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturepro Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 my 09 has 3 selectable forward gears Drive Low OD button but no display in dash could have been a easy add for ford. I sometime wonder who they get for the market research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1TECH Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I am referring to 1-6 gears that aren't selectable and therfore there is no reason to have a display on the dash. If I am not mistaken there is an od indicator on the dash that illunminates if you turn the od off. Other than that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to have a shift indicator on the dash.

frozennuts Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Calm down boys! I would agree that with the current auto selection with no manual shift mode, there is no real point to display the selected position in the dash (other than nice to know) when its displayed on the shifter stick. But with the face lift 2011 model, there is a manual shift mode (some models) so knowing the gear you are in (1to 6) is a additional help to the rev counter when you want to manually shift up or down. Will help stop you from trying to find another gear when already in 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1TECH Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I would put money on the 2k11 having a gearshift display in the dash. I don't think I have ever seen an autostick that didn't. I can't wait to drive one with the autostick just because I am curious how much control they won't give to the driver as far as gear selection where and when the driver wants it.
