2024 Ford Edge ST 3.5L V6 next ride BLA fleet

Written By Peter Breitholtz

The Ford Edge ST offers a compelling blend of attributes that make it a surprisingly viable choice for a taxi fleet. While its high-performance ST trim is sporty, the underlying Edge platform provides a spacious and comfortable cabin for up to five passengers, featuring generous rear legroom (over 40 inches) and ample headroom, which are key for customer satisfaction on longer rides. Furthermore, the Edge boasts a substantial cargo area of nearly 40 cubic feet behind the second row—perfect for handling luggage from airport runs or large shopping bags. The availability of All-Wheel Drive (AWD), standard on the ST, can be a significant advantage in regions with varied weather conditions, ensuring reliable service. Although the ST has a more powerful engine that may increase fuel costs compared to lower trims, the overall Ford Edge model has a reputation for solid build quality and relatively average ownership and maintenance costs, making it a reliable and durable option for high-mileage commercial use.
