The Best Got Better: The All-New 2015 Edge

When does a proven leader get even better? This is what Ford set out to demonstrate with the all-new 2015 Edge, reworking it from the ground up, loading it with more technology, higher levels of craftsmanship and improved vehicle dynamics.

The twin-scroll 2.0-liter EcoBoost, outputting 245 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque, is significantly improved over the previous 2.0-liter EcoBoost. Beyond efficiency advantages, the new engine provides more capability. Edge equipped with 2.0-liter EcoBoost can be ordered with newly available all-wheel drive and a towing package capable of hauling a 3,5000-pound trailer. (For comparison, in 2014, the four-cylinder Edge was front-wheel drive only and no trailer tow package was offered.) ...
