As many are well aware by now, production of the Ford Edge ended at the Oakville Assembly plant in Canada nearly one year ago, after well over two million units were built between 2007 and 2024. The Edge lives on in China (as the Edge L), but otherwise, the crossover that many came to know and love has been discontinued in North America. Those looking to purchase a new Ford Edge have had quite a few to choose from, however, though those numbers continue to creep lower with each passing month.
According to Ford’s March sales report, there were around 1,000 examples of the Edge in gross dealer stock at the conclusion of last month, while buyers have scooped up 2,078 units of that model through the first three months of the year. That number declined from around 1,600 units in February, as well as 2,400 in January to kick off 2025. Last year, Ford Edge inventory stood at 17,800 at the end of June, 13,800 units in July, 8,100 units as of the end of September, 4,300 units at the conclusion of November, and 3,000 in December. Interestingly, a sizable chunk of Edge sales have gone to fleets as of late, too.
Ultimately, the demise of the Ford Edge is just part of CEO Jim Farley’s plan to eliminate what he considers to be “boring” products from the automakers lineup. After stating that “We are not going to be playing in the two-row commodity crossover market because that’s – because Ford’s tried that in the ICE business and it didn’t really work out for us,” Farley even made his new mantra part of his X bio, and continues to double down on those remarks.
After originally planning to build two all-electric three-row crossovers at Oakville, The Blue Oval 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.

Jim says that the Edge is a “boring” vehicle? We disagree. My wife had a 2018 Edge Titanium and loved it. Then when we heard the Edge was going away, we ordered a 2024 Edge ST with 330 HP Turbo. It is NOT boring. It is not as fast as my 2021 Mach 1, 5.0L 480 HP. But we did have fun at the stop lights a few months ago with a Camaro V-8 that could not loose us until we had to let up at the next stop lights at about 60 mph. On the edge of town of course.
Bad move. The Escape is a boring cheap car…..the Edge is great! With that said. I leased a 2024 Edge Titanium at the end of 2023 and it’s worthless now. I leased it for $40K and its worth $28K no matter what dealership you go to and no matter what state you live in $28K is the max….they are dumping them for peanuts. We need a bigger vehicle, now what do we do? Obviously nothing, we pay until the lease ends in 2 years…..nothing for dedicated Ford customers……pretty shitty Ford……pretty shitty. 15th Ford Vehicle for our family……will never buy EV. Gipped in NE
Dear Mr. Farley,
Pleassssssssssssse bring the Edge back!!!!

I bought a 2020 Fdge ST Line with the 2.0 liter turbo with 600 miles on it and have had it for nearly 3 years with only 24K miles on it currently. My wife and I love it and, as we are both 76 years young, it is probably our last vehicle. It is deep red with the black rims and looks and drives anything but boring. It is a blast to drive in sport mode and, as a lifelong Ford customer, it is the best one I have owned.
I’m on my second Ford edge titanium. The escape is to small and the explorer is to big. This is the perfect size to drive. I love it and I wish the wouldn’t stop making it.
We love our Ford Edge Titanium it has been an excellent car for us. Our plan was to go car shopping this Spring for a new Ford Edge Titanium….please don’t stop the production of this great vehicle!
I drive a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium and it’s a fun to drive car. Not too big, not too small. Plenty of power for a 3.5L engine, just wish I had the ST version with about 50 more HP than the standard Titanium.
I have a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium and I love it. Basically I love low slung sports cars and drove a 1995 Honda Prelude for 22 years. I hated giving it up but it was time. I bought my Edge to replace it. It is a smooth driving car and has all the bells and whistles. Please bring it back. I want a new when my current one dies.
I’m on my 3rd Ford Edge. I love the Edge. It’s a tank in the winter. Best 4 wheel drive ever!!
I have a 2022 Edge Titanium with the large screen. I love it and now I’m keeping it until it dies because I can’t get another.
Big mistake FORD, big mistake.
I don’t want a rinky dink escape. And I certainly don’t need a pick up truck.
I love the luxury of the edge. So I’ll just have to move to another make sadly!!
You won’t just lose EDGE customers you’ll lose FORD customers all together.
