What Transmission Does the Edge Use?
2 Answers
Ford Edge uses an 8-speed automatic transmission across all models. This transmission has a relatively low failure rate, with good fuel economy and smooth shifting, making it a commonly used transmission in vehicles currently on the market. Automatic transmissions come in various types, including automatic manual transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, and continuously variable transmissions (CVT). Below is some relevant information about the Ford Edge: The Ford Edge is a mid-size SUV produced by Changan Ford, with body dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1734mm in height. The Edge is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across all models, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245.
Having worked on many Edges, there are several common transmission scenarios. The older Edge models with the 2.7T V6 engine came with a 6-speed automatic transmission, code-named 6F55, which had decent transmission efficiency but occasionally jerked at low speeds. Later, the 2.0T versions switched to an 8AT jointly developed by Ford and GM, which was much smoother. However, new owners should be reminded that starting last year, the Edge L hybrid uses an ECVT, which is completely different in structure from traditional transmissions, primarily relying on planetary gear sets to regulate power, hence no jerking sensation. If you're doing your own maintenance, remember not to exceed 60,000 kilometers for the 8AT oil change interval, otherwise the valve body is prone to issues.
