The very last North American Ford Edge rolled off the assembly line at the Oakville Assembly plant in Canada back in early May 2024, marking the end of an era. Between 2007 and 2024, Ford built a grand total of 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 as the months tick by.
According to Ford’s December sales report, there were 3,000 Ford Edge crossovers in gross dealer stock at the end of last month, which is the lowest total of any model in the automaker’s lineup. This number has fallen considerably over the past few months, as it stood at 17,800 at the end of June, 13,800 units in July, 8,100 units as of the end of September, and 4,300 units at the conclusion of November.
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 in the U.S. decreased year-over-year by 37.38 percent to 66,436 units in 2024.
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.

what is Ford replacing the Edge with, it is one of the best they have ever produced
Ford Edge one of the best cars, why discontinue it. I’m still driving my 2010 edge. Love it.
How much more sales are they getting by increasing Super Duty capacity? I guess it doesn’t matter because they’re looking more at profits from it against the Edge. It sucks that Ford leadership is getting out of just making mainstream vehicles for us normal people. I upgraded my Edge to the Nautilus (prior gen) because the Edge treated me so well.
2019 Titanium with 147k miles….I love my SUV.
