cmarkbarrett Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Does anyone know when the Edge with the EcoBoost engine will become available for order? I have a lease that expires at the end of September. The dealership seemed to know less about the 4-cyl model than me so not sure where I can get an idea. . .

wwest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 It will not be available anytime close to September. Given the absolutely HORRID (in comparison) FE the TwinForce ("EcoBoost") engines are running I suspect Ford might be busy retooling their thinking on this. A 4 cylinder engine, even or especially with DFI, will be somewhat short on HP/Torque to begin with, now detune/derate it to accommodate the turbo and it will simply not be appropreate for anything larger/heavier than the old Pinto SW. On the other hand anormally aspirated 4 cylinder with DFI (12:1 CR) would likely yeild STELLAR FE along with quite reasonable HP/torque for the Edge.
