Quick answer
Ford Edge years to avoid: 2015–2018 (2.0 EcoBoost), 2007–2010 (AWD, original PTU). Best used years: 2019+. The Edge is a fine crossover wearing two known traps. FWD sidesteps one, 2019+ largely sidesteps the other, and a pre-purchase inspection covers whatever's left.

2015–2018 (2.0 EcoBoost)
Coolant intrusion can end in an engine replacement. No coolant-loss documentation, no deal.
2007–2010 (AWD, original PTU)
The power transfer unit is a known consumable nobody serviced; by now an original one is overdue.
Best years to buy
2019+
Revised engines, the 8-speed, and the PTU story improved; the record cleans up noticeably.
The bottom line
The Edge is a fine crossover wearing two known traps. FWD sidesteps one, 2019+ largely sidesteps the other, and a pre-purchase inspection covers whatever's left.
