Ford Edge
Beadle Ford — Bowdle, SD
Ford Edge
Ford ended Edge production in April 2024, but this midsize SUV remains one of the best used values on the lot. Standard all-wheel drive on every trim, a 12-inch SYNC 4A touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Co-Pilot360 driver assistance — all without stepping up to an Explorer. Five trims from the practical SE to the 335-hp ST give buyers real options in the Bowdle area.

About the Ford Edge
The Ford Edge occupies a sweet spot in the SUV lineup — bigger and more refined than the Escape, more manageable than the three-row Explorer. Ford built two generations: the first (2007–2014) established the Edge as a capable midsize crossover with available V6 power and a comfortable ride, while the second generation (2015–2024) refined the platform with turbocharged EcoBoost engines, a more upscale interior, and significantly improved technology. Production ended in April 2024 when Ford repurposed the Oakville Assembly Plant, but the Edge's reputation as a practical, well-equipped family SUV hasn't faded.
On the used market, a second-generation Edge — especially a 2019 or newer model — delivers a combination of space, safety, and value that few competitors match at similar price points. Standard AWD means every Edge on the lot is ready for South Dakota winters. And with 39.2 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats (73.4 with them folded), there's room for everything from groceries to camping gear for a weekend at Lake Oahe.
Why the Edge Still Makes Sense
All-wheel drive is standard on every Edge trim — SE through ST. There's no front-wheel drive option. Ford engineered the entire platform around AWD, which means confidence on gravel county roads, packed snow, and the kind of winter conditions that define driving around Bowdle from November through March.
Technology is another area where the Edge punches above its weight class on the used market. SYNC 4A with a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen is standard on every trim, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloud-connected navigation, and conversational voice recognition. Ford Co-Pilot360 — including pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, and a rear view camera — is also standard across the board.
The 2019 model year was a turning point. Ford replaced the older 6-speed automatic with a smoother, more efficient 8-speed transmission, added Co-Pilot360 to every trim, introduced the performance-focused ST, and expanded the SYNC system. If you're shopping used, 2019 and newer models represent the sweet spot — modern safety tech, refined powertrain, and strong reliability.

Towing and Capability
The Edge delivers real towing capability for a midsize SUV. All ratings are SAE J2807-certified. The Class II Trailer Tow Package — optional on SE, SEL, ST-Line, and Titanium, standard on ST — includes a 4-pin trailer wiring harness, hitch receiver, trailer sway control, and SelectShift with steering wheel paddle shifters. Maximum tongue load is 350 lbs across all configurations.
| Configuration | Max Towing | GCWR |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 (no tow package) | 1,500 lbs | 6,300 lbs |
| 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 + Class II Package | 3,500 lbs | 8,300 lbs |
| 2.7L V6 EcoBoost ST (tow package standard) | 3,500 lbs | 8,500 lbs |
For South Dakota use, that capability covers small boat trailers for Lake Oahe, utility trailers, ATVs, and camping setups. If towing is a priority, look for an Edge with the Class II package already installed — or step into the ST, which includes it from the factory.

Looking for Something with a Factory Warranty?
If you can't find the right used Edge or want the peace of mind that comes with new-vehicle coverage, these current Ford models serve a similar role. The Bronco Sport brings rugged capability and standard 4x4, while the Escape offers a compact footprint with available hybrid efficiency. Our comparison guide covers the differences in detail.

Common Questions About the Ford Edge
Is the Ford Edge discontinued?
Yes. Ford ended Edge production in April 2024 when the Oakville Assembly Plant was repurposed. The Edge is no longer available new, but used models remain widely available and represent strong value. With standard AWD, SYNC 4A, and Co-Pilot360 on every trim, a used Edge delivers a lot of vehicle for the money.
What replaced the Ford Edge?
Ford did not release a direct replacement for the Edge. The closest current options are the Bronco Sport (a more rugged, trail-capable compact SUV) and the Escape (a more fuel-efficient compact crossover). Neither matches the Edge's midsize footprint or interior space exactly, which is part of what makes a used Edge still worth considering.
Is a used Ford Edge reliable?
The second-generation Edge (2015–2024) has a solid reliability record. The 2019 refresh was a significant improvement — the new 8-speed automatic transmission replaced the older 6-speed, and Co-Pilot360 became standard. Models from 2019 onward are the recommended sweet spot. Earlier second-gen models (2015–2018) are also generally reliable, though it's worth checking maintenance history and mileage closely.
Does the Ford Edge come with AWD?
Yes — all-wheel drive is standard on every Ford Edge trim. There is no front-wheel drive option. Whether you're looking at a base SE or a performance ST, every Edge comes with intelligent AWD for year-round traction on South Dakota roads.
What is the best Ford Edge model year to buy used?
The 2019–2024 model years are the recommended range. The 2019 refresh brought the 8-speed automatic transmission, Co-Pilot360 safety features, the ST performance trim, and SYNC upgrades across the lineup. Within that range, 2020 and newer models are particularly strong — minimal reported issues, mature technology, and strong resale value.
How much can a Ford Edge tow?
Towing capacity depends on powertrain and package. The 2.0L EcoBoost tows up to 1,500 lbs without a tow package, or up to 3,500 lbs with the Class II Trailer Tow Package installed. The ST with its 2.7L V6 also tows 3,500 lbs, with the tow package included standard. Maximum tongue load is 350 lbs. All ratings are SAE J2807-certified.
Is the Ford Edge bigger than the Escape?
Yes. The Edge is a midsize SUV positioned between the compact Escape and the three-row Explorer. It offers more front and rear legroom, more shoulder room, and more cargo space — 39.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats compared to the Escape. If you've outgrown a compact crossover but don't need three rows, the Edge fills that gap.
Does the Ford Edge have Apple CarPlay?
Yes. Every Edge trim comes standard with SYNC 4A featuring a 12-inch capacitive touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto. The wireless connectivity is standard — not an upgrade — so you're never hunting for a cable regardless of which trim you choose.
