The very last Ford Edge rolled off the assembly line at the Oakville Assembly plant in Canada back in early May, marking the end of an era. After all, between 2007 and 2024, Ford built a substantial 2,609,545 Edge crossovers in total, and even though the North American version has been officially discontinued, it remains quite popular with critics and consumers alike. There’s still time to find a new Ford Edge on dealer lots, too, though those numbers continue to dwindle with the passage of time.
At the end of June, there were 17,800 new Ford Edge models in gross stock at dealerships in the U.S., and by the end of July, that number had dropped to 13,800, which was actually higher than a few still-in-production models, surprisingly. Now, according to Ford’s latest sales report, gross stock of Ford Edge models declined to 8,100 units as of the end of September, though a quick search on Autotrader shows quite a few more on dealer lots – around 11,500, in fact.
In its final month of production this past May, Oakville built 2,739 examples of the 2024 Ford Edge, which represented a 77 percent drop compared to April. For the entire year, a total of 54,178 examples of the Ford Edge rolled off the assembly line, while sales of the crossover decreased 65.24 percent to 2,894 units in September.
After originally planning to build an all-electric three-row crossover at Oakville, The Blue Oval recently pivoted and will instead produce the Ford Super Duty at that plant starting in 2026, in addition to the Kentucky Truck plant and the Ohio Assembly plant. The automaker will invest $3 billion to make this happen, with $2.3 billion of that sum going toward retooling the Oakville plant for Ford Super Duty production, including the installation of both assembly and stamping equipment. This move will also add around 1,800 jobs at the Oakville plant, with 150 more joining the ranks at the Windsor Engine Complex to build V8 engines for the Super Duty as well.
