The Ford Edge: Peak Performance

Ford Edge
When you’re in the market for a new SUV, you need something that can handle whatever you throw at it. Whether you’re driving around Western Michigan, the Great Lakes, Northern Shores, or Muskegon, you want a vehicle that can perform both on and off the road while still making your ride comfortable. This means you’re in for an SUV like no other. Today, we’re taking a look at the Ford Edge to see why it’s at the peak of performance and why you should buy one.

Performance That’s Both Powerful and Practical


When you think of an SUV, you think of a vehicle that is more powerful than speedy. With this vehicle, you get a little bit of both. 

You have two engine options: the 2.0L EcoBoost engine or the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine. Both of these are impressive in their own right, but the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine boasts 335 horsepower and 380 ft-lbs of torque, meaning that you’re getting the raw strength of an SUV matched up with the speed of a much faster vehicle. 

If you want to utilize that speed, you can turn on sport mode with the touch of a button. These engines make it easy to drive from Coopersville to Holland or drive around Ludington.

The Versatility You Need


When it comes to versatility, it doesn’t get much more versatile than the Edge. First, there’s the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Sensors in the SUV will constantly keep an eye on and make adjustments to the torque of your wheels to optimize your driving experience and allow you to easily take on whatever you encounter.

This vehicle is incredible when you break it down by some basic stats. It seats up to five people. It has a maximum payload of 650 pounds. If you get the Class II Trailer Tow Package, it can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Plus, it has an impressive amount of cargo room with a height of 34.5 inches, a width of 45.3 inches, and a length of 41.7 inches that expands to 78.8 inches when you fold down the rear seat.

Tech That Keeps You Connected



There’s plenty of tech inside the Edge that’s designed to keep you up to speed on everything around you while making your drive throughout Western Michigan that much more comfortable. The heart of this starts with a 12-inch touchscreen. It keeps you connected with SYNC 4A, which has voice-recognition and cloud-based connectivity, making it easier than ever to drive and stay connected at the same time.

You can even stay connected nearby by utilizing the FordPass Connect 4G LTE Hotspot. This allows you to stay connected from up to 50 feet away from your vehicle and connect to up to 10 devices at once. There’s an available wireless charger that can also help you keep your devices connected while on the go.

Peak Design

This vehicle isn’t just great in terms of performance; it’s been designed well, too. The Bi-LED Headlamps and available Fog Lamps make it easier than ever to see where you’re driving, even with the poorest visibility. 

The available hands-free liftgate makes it easy to open your liftgate without having to lift a finger. Simply swipe your foot underneath the middle of the rear bumper and the back will open up to allow you to load it with whatever you need.

Safety That’s Smart


What’s one aspect of any vehicle that you expect to perform at its best? That would be the safety features. This vehicle is not only great with how it performs out on the road but also with how safe it is. It comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 technology that helps keep you focused on what’s important while you’re driving.

Here are some of the features this vehicle includes:

  • Pre-Collision Assist
  • Lane-Keeping System
  • Auto High-Beam
  • BLIS
  • Rear View Camera
  • Adaptive Cruise Control

These features, plus the previously mentioned Bi-LED Headlamps, are exactly why this family-friendly SUV was named the 2022 IIHS Top Safety Pick. This vehicle is as serious about its safety features as it is about providing you with a comfortable ride.
