How fast can a Ford Edge go?

The top speed of a Ford Edge depends on the engine, trim, and tires. In general, most non‑performance Edge models top out around 125–130 mph (200–210 km/h), while the sportier Edge ST can reach higher speeds in the low to mid‑140 mph range (roughly 225–235 km/h) under favorable conditions.

Engine options and their typical top speeds

The figures below reflect commonly reported numbers for popular Edge variants. They can vary with transmission, tires, aerodynamics, and testing conditions.

• 2.0‑liter EcoBoost I‑4 (around 250 hp): top speed about 125–130 mph (201–209 km/h).


• 3.5‑liter V6 (older generations, around 285–290 hp): top speed about 125 mph (201 km/h).


• 2.7‑liter EcoBoost V6 (Edge ST, around 335 hp): top speed roughly 140–145 mph (225–233 km/h), depending on year and equipment.

Note: Exact top speeds vary by model year, trim, tires, and whether the vehicle is limited by electronic governance. For the precise figure for your specific car, consult the official Ford spec sheet for that year and trim level.

Other factors that influence top speed

Beyond engine choice, several factors determine the real-world top speed you can achieve on the road or a track.

• Tire type, condition, and load rating


• Aerodynamics and vehicle load


• Transmission and drivetrain configuration


• Fuel quality, engine tuning, and software constraints


• Market-specific speed governors and safety regulations

In practice, most drivers will encounter top speeds at the lower end of these ranges. The Edge ST is the closest Ford offers to a performance-oriented SUV within this lineup, but even it is designed with safety systems and driveline protection that can limit maximum speed in daily driving.

Real-world performance and expectations

Speed is only one measure of a vehicle’s capability. Acceleration, braking, handling, and ride comfort often matter more for everyday use. The Edge’s strengths lie in utility, space, and a comfortable ride, with top speed serving as a point of comparison rather than a primary selling feature.

Summary

In short, the Ford Edge typically tops out around 125–130 mph for standard trims, while the Edge ST can surpass that into the low‑to‑mid‑140 mph range depending on year and configuration. Always verify the exact specification for your model year and trim to know the precise top speed.

How to remove Ford speed limiter?

To remove a Ford speed limiter, you can either use a professional diagnostic tool like Ford IDS to reprogram the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) or, on some models, adjust the "MyKey" settings through the instrument cluster. For professional removal, a mechanic uses a tool like the Ford VCM II to access the programmable parameters and disable the limiter, while clearing any error codes afterward. If your vehicle has the "MyKey" feature, you can clear these settings using an admin key by navigating through the vehicle's settings menu. 
Method 1: Professional reprogramming (e.g., using Ford IDS)
This method is used for factory-installed speed limiters that are not part of the "MyKey" system.

1. Access the programming menu: Connect the diagnostic tool (like a VCM II) to the vehicle and launch the Ford IDS software. 
2. Navigate to the speed limiter settings: Go to the "Toolbox," then "Module Programming," followed by "Programmable Parameters" and "Speed Items". 
3. Disable the speed limiter: Select "Vehicle Speed Limit (PCM)" and choose the option to "Disable Speed Limiter". 
4. Complete the reprogramming: Follow the on-screen instructions to erase the old data and program the new calibration. Cycle the ignition on and off as prompted. 
5. Clear error codes: After programming is complete, clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may have been set.

Method 2: Clear "MyKey" settings 
This method is for vehicles that use the "MyKey" system to create a speed-limited key. 

1. Start with an admin key: Turn on the vehicle using a key that is not a "MyKey". 
2. Access the settings: Use the steering wheel controls to navigate to the "Settings" menu on the information display. 
3. Find MyKey: Scroll to and select the "MyKey" option. 
4. Clear MyKey: Choose the "Clear MyKey" option and then press and hold the OK button until a message confirms that all MyKeys have been cleared.

Important considerations

• Professional help: If you are not comfortable with the technical steps, it is best to have a qualified mechanic or dealership perform the procedure.
• Vehicle variations: The exact steps and menu options may vary depending on the Ford model and year. 
• Potential consequences: Disabling the speed limiter can cause excessive wear on the vehicle's components, potentially leading to costly repairs.
