ACLazer Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I just think, and feel that the Edge Platform is just too big, and too heavy for the smaller EcoBoost Motor. I wish they did the V6 EcoBoost in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozzy Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I just think, and feel that the Edge Platform is just too big, and too heavy for the smaller EcoBoost Motor. I wish they did the V6 EcoBoost in them. You are certainly entitled to your opinion AC, but as an Ecoboost owner, my Edge is plenty fast enough and accelerates quickly and smoothly off the line. It cruises along the highways effortlessly and I can pass vehicles easily with lots of pedal left if I need it. I've never tried to see what the top end is, but how much speed do you really need? I don't intend ever to use it as a tow vehicle, and I'm not entering my Edge in the Daytona 500, so is 45 extra horsepower really that big of a deal? I don't think so. It's all in the torque which is an Ecoboost advantage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACLazer Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks for your opinion cozzy, but I disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 From what I've read, many are happy with the Ecoboost, didn't have the option with my MKX. N E Ohio, are you anywhere near Burton?, have a good friend out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shantz Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 apparently Ford will have an ecoboost option accross all platforms by 2014. Hopefully they can offer an ecoboost Edge w. AWD. (maybe they will even offer the ecoboost V6 in the SHO) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
