Under new management Ford looks to shift focus to electric SUVs

As it stated in Ford is going all-out on its commitment to crossover SUVs and trucks instead of sedans, and it is doing it with a little bit of speed. When it goes on sale later this year at a starting price of $43,350, the 2019 Ford Edge ST will be the first high-rider to wear the sporty ST badge. The Edge ST also gets unique seats, a sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, and standard all-wheel drive, as well as the ST-specific Ford Performance Blue paint hue. The options list includes ST performance brakes, which adds bigger vented rotors and 21-inch wheels. Kitted out, the Edge ST should reach over $52,000, which still makes it almost $10,000 cheaper than the more powerful (but only slightly) and luxurious Audi SQ5 and Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC43.

On vehicles with 2.0L gas engines and six-speed automatic transmissions, the torque converter weld studs may have been inadequately welded. If the torque converter weld studs fail, the torque converter will not be connected to the engine flexplate and the vehicle will lose the ability to move, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

The 2019 Ford Edge ST Will Start at $43,350

as mentioned in Ford unveiled the new Edge ST performance crossover back in January and now the mystery of pricing has finally been solved. That's a $1,585 increase over the 2018 Ford Edge Sport. To recap, the 2019 Ford Edge ST is both a performance upgrade and a cosmetic makeover for Ford's mid-size crossover, which gets a facelift across the board for 2019. Going over the $50k mark sounds like steep territory for a Ford crossover, but it's not too bad considering what you're getting. Pricing for the Ford Edge ST puts it in the same ballpark as the Acura RDX A-Spec and it's around $10,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped Audi SQ5.
