Used Ford Edge: a year-by-year guide for Ford Blue Advantage shoppers

Which engines and transmissions each year had, what EPA rates them, and which used Edge can be Ford Blue Advantage certified.

The short answer

Answer

EPA lists 3 engine versions for the Edge across 2016–2024. Match the VIN to the right row before you compare prices.

A used Ford Edge can be Ford Blue Advantage certified: Gold (up to 6 years old, under 80,000 miles; 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive plus 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain) or Blue (up to 10 years, under 150,000 miles; 90 days/4,000 miles). Swant Graber Ford is a Ford Blue Advantage dealer: Swant Graber Ford, 1697 E Division Ave, Barron, 715-537-9500.

Ford has no new Edge in the current U.S. lineup, so every Edge is a used purchase. MPG is EPA combined. "—" means EPA lists no version in that column, or (recalls) the year is outside our 2017–2025 NHTSA pull. Recall counts are campaigns for the model and year (all trims); a specific vehicle may not be affected.

Where the lineup changed

  • 2019: drops 3.5L 6-cyl; new transmission listing: 8-speed automatic.

What to check on a used Edge

  • Best EPA combined rating in the 4WD/AWD column: 23 MPG (2024, 2.0L 4-cyl turbo). Winter mileage in northwest Wisconsin runs lower.
  • Match the VIN to the right row. The engine is coded in the VIN and printed on the original window sticker; ask us to decode it.
  • Recalls: per-year campaign detail is in our used Edge recalls by year guide. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls on any used vehicle.
  • Gold or Blue? A Ford Edge up to 6 years old with under 80,000 miles can be Gold Certified; up to 10 years and under 150,000 miles, Blue Certified. Ask which tier a specific vehicle is in.

Which used Edge year has the fewest recalls?

Does a high recall count mean the vehicle is unreliable?

Not on its own. Recall counts don't reflect how many vehicles each campaign covers or how serious it is. Check whether the specific VIN's recalls are done, and look at service records and a pre-purchase inspection.
