How do I tell what engine is in my Ford Edge?
If you own a Ford Edge, you may be wondering what engine is under the hood. Knowing the engine specifications of your vehicle can be important for maintenance, repairs, and understanding its performance capabilities. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to identify the engine in your Ford Edge.
Locate the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The first step in determining the engine in your Ford Edge is to locate the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is a unique 17-digit code that identifies your specific vehicle. You can typically find the VIN on the driver's side dashboard, the driver's side door jamb, or the engine block.
Decode the VIN
Once you have the VIN, you can use it to decode the engine information. The 8th digit of the VIN represents the engine code. Here are the common engine codes for the Ford Edge:
- 3.5L V6 engine: Code "X"
- 2.0L EcoBoost I4 engine: Code "U"
- 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine: Code "G"
You can also find the engine information on the vehicle's information placard, which is typically located on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual.
Check the Engine Specifications
Once you've identified the engine code, you can look up the specific engine specifications for your Ford Edge. This information can be found in the owner's manual or on Ford's website. The engine specifications will include details such as horsepower, torque, displacement, and fuel type.
Knowing the engine in your Ford Edge can help you make informed decisions about maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. By following these steps, you can easily determine the engine in your vehicle and better understand its capabilities.
