Pros
- RepairPal ranks it 11th of 26 midsize SUVs — a reasonable mid-pack reliability position
- Prices on remaining/used inventory can be negotiated aggressively since Ford is no longer building them
- ST performance trim offered genuine driving engagement rare in the segment
Cons
- Ford ended Edge production in April 2024 — no new ones are being built, and it's used-market-only going forward
- iSeeCars shows the steepest 5-year depreciation of any Ford reviewed on this site (56.3%)
- No hybrid powertrain was ever offered, unlike most current midsize-SUV rivals
Can this car reach 300,000 miles?
Likely
RepairPal's model-specific score (3.5/5.0) ranks the Edge a mid-pack 11th of 26 midsize SUVs. Important buying note: Ford ended Edge production on April 26, 2024, with no 2025 or 2026 model — every Edge going forward is a used-market purchase, with resale support that will likely thin out over time as Ford shifts focus to EVs at the former production plant.

What It Actually Costs to Own
iSeeCars shows the steepest 5-year depreciation of any Ford in this research (56.3%, worse than even the midsize-SUV category's already-steep 50.1% average) — a direct consequence of the nameplate's discontinuation, since buyers get less confidence in long-term resale and parts support.

Check for open recalls before you buy
We don't yet have a live recall feed wired up for the Ford Edge, so we won't guess at a number here. Before you buy any specific Edge, run its VIN throughNHTSA's free recall lookup tool— it takes about 30 seconds and confirms whether that exact vehicle has any open, unrepaired safety recalls.
