First introduced to an eager public with an appetite for midsize sport utility vehicles (SUV) for model year 2007, the Ford Edge has been one of Ford’s better-selling vehicles in their frenetic lineup of cars, light trucks, and crossovers.
In just 10 years, the Edge has become one of Ford’s big hits, splitting the crossover lineup and providing shoppers a way to spend more than $50,000 on a Ford in the Titanium! Bereft of a third row and therefore seating for seven and looking for that, then consider the larger Flex, Explorer, or even Expedition! The Edge will seat five in relative comfort so long as the three passengers are not football linebackers. Its interior cargo space allows for everyone’s luggage—unless a passenger is the type to change clothing for every meal and occasion! Larger than the hugely selling Ford Escape, the second most popular crossover in the five passenger category, the Ford Edge looks somewhat refined and elegant—especially with optional 20-inch polished aluminum wheels. While highly unlikely you would look to this auto as an off-road warrior, cottage and lake access roads will generally not present much of an issue—there is, after all available all-wheel drive.
