- Love 'em or hate 'em, the Ford Edge and Chevrolet Blazer are two of the most popular cars in the United States (or maybe we just think that because we live in Michigan). If you have to buy one, is one better than the other? Kind of.

As an Edge ST owner, it's funny that this is a comparison with non compatible models. The Edge ST is far sportier than the ST Line cosmetic package and the ST Line only uses the base engine. Still a good video though.
Love my Edge ST!
Agree, except it’s a crummy video. The two testers are a couple of millennials who don’t seem to take car testing seriously.
I have a 21 edge st with the 2.7TT the st line is a base model.. obviously they couldn't get a real edge st.. lol.. I've smoked a blazer rs!!..
@@michaeln.7083 Yeah I'm not sure why they are comparing the driving experience of V4 vs V6. They're not getting the tuned suspension and power.
@@CrazyPetez To be fair, it looks like one Millennial and one Gen-Z.
I enjoyed the video a lot. I have to disagree with your choice however. We have owned a 2022 Ford Edge Titanium for eight months now. In my much younger days, I was a GM guy, like my Dad. Now that I am 67, suffice it to say I have owned/driven a bunch of non-GM vehicles too. Availability as well as reasonable pricing, led us from a Kia Telluride made in Georgia, to a Ford Edge made in Canada. You are comparing a $50K CHEVY -- no way, that size, that price, AND it is a Chevy. On the Edge, the back load floor is awesome. The mini-spare is a $100 option. Ford has used the Edge as a testbed for technology enhancements. The Edge was the first vehicle to get Sync4, and it was the testbed for the 12" display that was then fitted to the Mach-E and Lightning. Sadly, 2023 will be the last year for the Edge and Lincoln Corsair. I'll take my nicer Edge over the "sporty" Blazer, and put the money in my pocket. Disagree, but truly did enjoy the comparison. Take care.
Yeah I disagree too. My 22 Edge ST is super sporty and doesn’t look cheap like the blazer.
This is our 2nd Edge. We have a 2013 Titanium with 41,000 miles that is just like new. My Wife’s Father passed away and left it to us. Services are all up to date, I had die put in to check for any water pump issues. I am not sure if I can leave the die in it, or if it needs to be flushed. I do wish there were a way to put a remote water pump on the 3.5. It is a fine engine but for the internal water pump. If it leaks it takes the whole engine out. Does anyone know what can be done? We want to give it to our son.
Change your oil frequently and flush your antifreeze that will help preserve the water pump
Hello from another Michigander. Just came to say I appreciated the roof tap through the "could've maybe probably" yellow light.
I worked for GM 41 Years. Unfortunately my 2017 Acadia All Terrain was totaled. I never thought I would own a Ford Edge ST, but i now do. After my car was totaled, i needed a replacement quickly. Inventory on Dealer Lots is very limited.. The Blazers available in and around the area, were not available in 6cyl with Blind spot indicators. Must be a supply chain issue? After test driving both, the ride was far superior in the Ford edge. Another plus is not having to pay for Onstar. There is no subscription charge for Ford Pass vehicle connection.
The EDGE tested is not the ST model. The ST model is equipped with the 2,7 L, eco boost motor. It has also the ST emblem in tbe steering wheel and in the back of the car.
I've driven both vehicles. Edge all day. Easily.
Why?
@@skankytrickits just an all around better vehicle to be honest.
Price-wise the RS matches closer to the Edge ST. I just specd an Rs to the same trim as my Edge ST and it was 53k, the Edge ST is 55k. And it blows the doors off the Blazer RS in actual performance. To be clear, I wouldn't pay 55k for the Edge ST and certainly not 53k for the blazer. I'd pay 40k for the loaded blazer and 44k for the Edge ST loaded. The Edge ST comes with a driving experience for free as well which is a really great time, you and a guest get to beat the crap our of Ford owned Edge STs for a day and they put you up in a 5 star hotel and feed you 3 meals. It took me a while to understand the point of the Edge ST having come from a far faster Challenger Scat Pack and before that a Charger Scat Pack (I got a dog so I needed 4 doors again). The Edge is about how well it handles the turns, my Edge has super sticky summer PZeros and a stiff suspension, it 100% handles better than my Charger or Challenger did. When you start looking at the ridiculously priced SUV market you realize that anything that competes with the edge for speed is more expensive (and faster). The SUVs with the size and trim of the Edge ST around it's price point are like the Blazer, a second slower 0-60 with either tiny turbo 4 cylinders or lifeless NA rental car engines. You can get an Edge ST without the 401A package and 21 inch wheels for mid 40s, it's not going to handle as well as mine but it'll be as fast and the interior will still be pretty nice - it wouldn't have the panoramic roof or cooled seats but it'd still have the awesome sound system and great bolster seats with high quality materials.
I don't hate GM and I don't love Ford but I did a ton if research into these before I bought my Edge (that I somehow got doe 40k brand new). I think both brands are way overpriced but if I'm going to pay a premium for a sporty SUV I'm going to get one that's actually sporty and not one that just looks sporty.
The real Edge ST, or the older Edge Sport would have blown that blazer off the road... Why would you compare the sport version of the blazer against the non sport edge?... And this is coming from a Chevy guy. There is a reason I chose the Edge Sport. That 320 hp and all wheel drive is no joke.
I teat drove one of the blazers for awhile, didnt much care for it
But i just bought a 23 edge with tge blackout package, and i feel like the edge is leagues above the blazer, it's got the room you look for in an suv, and when you press that gas pedal, it really knows how to stretch its legs.
That little 2.0 ecoboost with the twin scroll turbo is pretty powerful
Thanks Guys,
Even before seeing your Video, I looked at both the 24 Edge and Blazer, and just ordered a new 24 Blazer PREMIER in Riptide Blue Metallic with the 3.6L. So YES, I agree with you in your choice of the 2 vehicles.
Facts, I'm getting my daughter a 2024 Blazre, Loaded.
I had a Edge and was in a accident and was hit by a AAA roadside Assistant Vehilcle and it totaled my Edge with 8000 miles, previous vehicle was another Edge. I can a new vehicle every 3 or 4 years via work. I chose to get a Blazer after the accident, my father was a 36 year GM Employee, I support buying American first then try Chezy as a first choice. I can say after having my first Edge for 3.5 years and getting a new one and having it for only 8000 miles and about 3 months the Blazer was a much better vehicle and it was not close. I had the V6 in both my Edge and also in my Blazer, I prefer the larger engine and all wheel drive, then a must is leather and navigation so in both I ended up with models at the higher end of the cost spectrum. The Blazer had a better transmission, better power, better ride that the Edge, they both have similiar storage space. The Blazer is still fun to drive and I am not sure I will ever even look at another Edge over the Blazer if I am buying in the midsize vehicle range.
For those of us who are older or have bad backs, which vehicle has the cushier driver’s seat? I do not like firm seat cushions.
The higher backseat in the Blazer would make it tough looking through the rearview mirror if you’re the driver, more of a Blindspot! On the Edge, the temperature can be changed without the touchscreen via voice command! Push the button and hear the chime “Set temperature 67°”
Yeah they weren’t really comparing apples to apples. I mostly love my wife’s 22 ST, the interface for all the controls on the touchscreen can be annoying especially when you first drive it. Once you get used to that it becomes better but I would rather have knobs and buttons. I haven’t had a chance to drive a Blazer but I’m sure until they come up with an SS version,the Edge ST is way more fun to drive and would be a lot quicker 0-130 (the limiter kicks in). I have a Fusion Sport AWD with the 2.7 ecoboost and I think you are confused…the Escape is Focus based…the Edge is Fusion based… the Ecosport is Fiesta based. The ST Line is like a “sporty” looking base model with the base 2.0 ecoboost. I know,we don’t get any of those car models,but in Europe where gas is running $10 a gallon, people still buy cars a those models are still available.
Edge!
Ford edge!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Fair comparison should be edge ST vs Blazer RS
Why is that? ST is a performance model. RS is just a V-6.
Agreed. If your choosing the top trim on the blazer you should choose the top trim on the edge. Otherwise, they should have chosen the 4 cylinder blazer.
@@DailyMotor it's not a true performance vehicle, come on. it's also a V6 top of the line Edge. Not really a performance vehicle most all reviews agree that ST badge in that particular vehicle is there for marketing reasons.
@@andresscl2002 Most reviewers are dumb and have no clue. They compare the Edge ST to the Focus ST which is just absurd. Ive spent the past 8 years driving a base Edge SE and just got a 2020 Edge ST. The ST outperforms it in every way and its definitely worthy of the ST badge when you compare it to the non ST Edge models. The power, the handling, the braking etc....
@@andresscl2002 I beat a tuned Fiesta St on my stock edge ST I think its worthy my guy. Haven’t had the chance to race a Focus St yet tho
amazing boys well done - could have covered a little more but overall well done
My favorite car channel along with Topher😁
As much as I don't like the Blazer and GM in general, the Edge is very much outdated looking on the inside and outside. And the Blazer also seemed quite a bit quieter on the inside also.
Nothing screams 2005 SUV design like a 2022 Ford Edge.
I like the blazer, but I don't like the middling fuel economy and $51K price tag. And I agree with the complaint about rubber band tires, that's why I picked up a '23 Rogue S, its peppy with the turbo engine, 37mpg rating attainable on the highway, plenty of room with low load height, and with 65 profile tires little potholes and the like are a non-issue.
And three-cylinder growl!
Except Nissan is plagued with transmission problems. You could save 6K on the Blazer by opting for the 3LT, and still get leather upholstery.
If you guys knew anything about Vehicles you would understand why they have the option of giving you on the demand awd as opposed to having it in awd all the time. After awhile you would get tired of it being an all-wheel drive the time. It's kind of like driving around a four-wheel drive truck with the in 4-wheel drive all the time not a smart idea
Not quite. Most unibody vehicles with mild AWD systems constantly adjust where power is being sent and turn to FWD only when no slip is detected. The average non-car person, who would mostly be buying a car like this, would never notice between being in FWD or AWD on dry roads.
How does one get "tired" when the car is in AWD all the time? Literally 99.99% of people wouldn't even know the difference to begin with. If you knew anything about vehiclesthe Edge is front wheel drive and the rears kick in when necessary. The Blazer has 2WD offered in console switch. Get a clue
Edge over the so called "Blazer." The only thing I like about the "Blazer" is it has full instrument cluster. Ford was dumb for dropping the 3.5 its an excellent engine. Its getting to where the carmakers dont want us to have options. I dont know why Ford is dropping the Edge. Its been a big seller for them since it came out in 07.
They're making room for their EV line up
That's their reason.
Who cares if that you can draw in the screen? You’re DRIVING. Remember that.
Wow…some of us old ladies can figure out touchscreens, and this old lady chose the Blazer RS.
You definitely ran that light at 17:58 haha
Yeah, that was well past "orange" lol
I could have got either I chose the Chevy trailblazer I want the new style everything about it unbelievable
Enjoy the dual reviews!
I dunno, but the blazer looks childish to me, especially on the inside. For me I set the temp and leave it in auto. Can always use voice controls if I need to make small adjustments on the fly
Considering the history of the model, they could so easily take the blazer and make it as a direct competitor to the full sized bronco
You guys need to give it a rest! The Blazer as you knew it, is dead!
@@kingchaos6050 I mean I own a bronco and I just think it’s a shame to see what the blazer has become by comparison to when the two vehicles were competitors.
For the price the blazer offers now I’m definitely taking the rs I haven’t seen one for 50k yet. That’s absurd to even option for a suv if u want “real performance” it’s all preference at the end of the day we all have different taste.
Why are you not using the wireless CarPlay?
Good comparison. MSRP prices are a
ridiculous. Consumers can't afford these any more.
You guys are too much. BT-Dubs... the 2WD mode in the Blazer is meant to give you better fuel economy by turning off the 4WD. It has a purpose. :)
One thing is for sure...Nobody spends 50k on these because they "want" one. They are slightly less useful mini-vans for the sake of not being mini-vans. A disguise if you will. A simple way to choose between the two...Do you like the standard honk every few minutes to let you (and your neighbors) know that your Chevy is waiting...Or is it the iconic dur-de-dur tune for every action or lack of action from the Ford that wins you over?
The ST Line isn't 50k. The Edge ST is under 50k. The fully spec'd Edge ST is 55k. People buy them because they're actually really sporty for the price and the fully loaded one has everything. I got mine for 40k brand new (somehow) and it has everything, front camera, led headlights that turn with the road, panoramic roof, auto dimming drivers side mirror, amazing sound system, power tailgate, etc etc and it even comes with a drice experience for the price. The Edge ST will do 5.7s 0-60 all day every day, you literally can't break the tires lose.
I have two complaints with my Edge, the dash is literally the same thing they've used for a decade and it's awful, and there is very little in the way of sporty exhaust sound for a sporty suv.
Anyone who pays over 40k for the ST Line is an idiot though, you're gonna be disappointed that your fast looking SUV isn't fast.
Forgot the heated rear seats in the blazer.
Ford edge all day everyday.
Nice video😍!The amazing work👍!
Bad comparison. Do your homework and you will see why.
No paddle shift on the steering wheel in the Edge? He said he couldn’t change his own gears.
No.
It's got a dial shift.
@@codyrockwood15ok. I was just curious as I have a fusion that is dial shift but I also have paddle shift on the steering wheel. The Edge is what my replacement wheel will likely be so I’ve been watching all I can on them. My fusion is an AWD titanium and I’m finding that some of its features aren’t abundantly common in the Edge.
@@majajohnson6287 I just got a 2023 edge with the blackout package, so far I'm loving it.
Not watching past "ST LINE"
I kind of like the Blazer, but there are too many better choices at that price point.
Wow. Editing this kind of video is a pain in the butt. Nice job
The Chevy Blazer looks COOL like a Camaro....the Ford looks like a mini van...boooring....
Agree this is a very close match. I went with the edge after considering both because
1- ford is a lot of value as a similar spec blazer was 8k in difference to the titanium with copilot 360+ in 2021
2- not sure what the backorder status is now but the chevy was on a 7-month waiting period.
And yes chevy is a looker if you spare the rear end. Ford is very generic.
What did the say when he drove a chevy blazer cheap cheap. Grandma's station wagon.
They can see the bigger screen better
2 LT. WHERE THE REAL ENGINE THE 3 LT ?
Chevy should ask china and Japan how to make good reliable vehicles
Imo the edge takes the edge. Classic American design and reliability. The Chevy interior is horrible looking and exterior cosmetics looks like it's trying to be an import
The Edge dashboard is so ugly , looks like a 2005 model with a huge screen
GM vehicles will not last. Ford will probably last longer. I don't think the Edge is an old lady car either. Chevy is out of their minds asking 51k for this vehicle. The Blazer looks terrible inside and out. The only thing I don't like about the Edge is the climate controls are not buttons. Everything else is fine.
I didn't like that my climate control wasnt buttons at first, but now that I've gotten used to it, I prefer it.
This is journalism?
It's 2 uneducated people comparing an apple to an orange
This was an awesome, and pretty fair, comparison video
No it wasn't!
Should have been the Edge ST. Not the wannabe st-line. Big difference.
They should bow out and take this pathetic comparison down.
Why are American made so cheap.nomamy pe I ple would drive maybe my. Gramd ma
Would much rather buy American but not that poorly buil rapidly depreciating liability
You should of did a comparison of the same v6 dont compare apples to oranges gentlem
😂😂😂😂💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿Great vid new sub
Guess I better get on board with honda or toyota. Or even Kia. Are built better than chevy .Lucky you have Camara and corvette por you'd be going our of business . The heart beat of America needs a pacemaker and a Jumpstart
Old poorly built unreliable
Blazer without a doubt it better than the Edge. The Edge looks extremely outdated
Better at... nothing
It is so hard to buy American cars though. I would just buy Toyota. It is so sad why American cars can't be reliable.
I completely disagree. I have no idea why someone would buy an Overrated Toyota, especially a Rav 4.
@@otherZinc Well when you buy toyota it give you that peace of mind. I drove many American cars due to work and attention detail lacks, car seats are uncomfortable, mostly they have issues plus resale value not good.
You guys are a couple of goofballs. I like the 2 car comparison in principle but you need to learn the difference between torque and HP among many other things. Comments like "there is no way you could get in this car and be confused" talking about the Blazer provides no real info. And "this Ford seems thin inside" And just because the Blazer has no turbo does not mean it's simple. Saying nothing is better than saying stupid things. Nothing is simple in modern vechicles
The blazers a far superior vehicle
Apparently you never drove an ST.
Can’t you talk without waving your hands around? Very distracting.
Why would anyone buy any of these I don't know they are both awful vehicles in pretty much every way
Unfortunately both are trash. The edge being more trash. Would take the Blazer with the N/A v6 if I had to choose. Toyota/Honda Lexus/Acura all day son.
You guys should have compared the EDGE ST against the BLAZER RS. THAT is more of an equal comparison. My EDGE ST is FINALLY being built on April 24th, after ordering it on October 25th. Will be my second one, so looking forward to the improvements from my 2015 EDGE SPORT from back in the day!!!!The 335 h.p. in the EDGE ST buries the Blazer RS in every performance category. Great review!!!!
Not a great review. Misleading. Should have been the Edge ST vs. Blazer Rs.
You will love that Edge ST! Excellent vehicles. I'm on my 3rd Edge. Can't beat em. My fiance traded her Honda Pilot after riding in my '22 Edge SEL AWD. 💯
We have two. A 2013 Titanium with the 3.5 V6 and the 2022 ST with the 2.7 V6. I can tell you that the 2.7 ST is way beyond the ST-Line. It’s a beast. I think it would have been a good review to compare equally equipped models. The 2013 was a decent V6. I still don’t like the internal water pump.
Fun video. Not sure where you get that its old ladies driving the Edge considering the vast majority of Edge owners are males and the median age is 63. Traded my base 2014 Edge for a 2020 Edge ST and the difference is night and day in every regard. That twin turbo engine putting out 335 hp/380 tq is quite good. Impressive handling for what it is too. 33:14 is hilarious and kinda accurate. I like how mine looks but yea, its not a vehicle that screams hey look at me, but thats a good thing when you live in an area with lost of car thefts.
Because they are 2 young idiots: Not respect for anybodu, disrepect genders, use offensive words. Im sure they consume some marih ua na before the video.
They are clearly horrible at their job. They don't understand the true ST community.
Why don’t you compare V6 to V6?
These dummies are idiots!
The ST Edge is a better choice to compare. The 2.7V6 makes 335hp 380 ft lbs. Comparing the RS to the ST-Line is not an equal comparison. The ST Edge is a beast. I am 6’2 and it is roomy.
So a base Edge (ST-LINE) versus a top-end performance Blazer, got it
I am all to familiar with GM quality and reliability. Never again.
J. D. Power company disagrees, showing the Blazer at the top of the midsize two row segment!
Ford took sticking an ipad on the dash to a new level with the Edge!
The 2.0L GTDI in the Edge is a Gen2 version. Its not the same engine as has been around a while. Was 100% new in '17. With 8spd tranny there is no ringing in out. 280lb ft torque is meaty boys. 23mph city AWD / 27mpg hwy. *Both Edge GTDI are well proven! They both sound real good under acceleration as well* .
Price of the blazer? Ridiculous to me.
Or, save money on excess tech and get the 3LT Blazer that still comes with leather upholstery, and 18" wheels for a better quality ride.
Definitely not a fair comparison 😒
Why not?
@@DailyMotor Why Not? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
@@jamesparrish9613 It's an ST-line vs an RS. What would be a better comparison? Full ST which has sport tuned suspension and powertrain, something the Blazer isn't offered with?
@@DailyMotor You said it! Powertrain! The Chevy RS is the top of the line Blazer with the V-6 powertrain. The Edge ST-Line is Not! The Edge ST has the V-6 powertrain (Not the ST-Line) which then would have been a FAIR comparison. If you are going to compare the Best Blazer, then at the very least compare it to the Best Edge. This video is very misleading.
@@jamesparrish9613 The Edge ST makes 110 lb-ft more torque than the V-6 in the Blazer. Chevy's V-6 is not a performance motor in this setup. Just because they have the same number of cylinders does not make them comparable.
2022 RS black on Jet black. I just bought brand new, Don't forget that Top you have is adding $$$, and taking away the sunroof. 2022 has 20" wheels... More aggressive lines... Chevy lost it on the '23. Unless you need that large screen (which gets in the way of that nice flat dash) i have to recommend the 2022 RS. Mines fully loaded, and it's definitely a little more than your "Commoner SUV" as suggested in a prior video... *Especially having looked at hundreds of ugly crossovers lol... be well guys.. 43k btw. Fully loaded, if you can find one.. Now's the time for the '22 RS. smoother ride. I'd like the think the '22 is the 2019 design. Perfected.
Being ignorant of the full line of Edges, I was confused until I read variuos posts that clarified that there is a Edge ST -Line and a Edge ST !! I like the Sportier Look of The Blazer RS vs the Edge ST. I don't think I would like the Edge's Dial for the Tranny, The Blazer's is far better in the classic shifter. The large EV like Screen with everything only available by toushscreen (and no Buttons) in The Edge is a turnoff to me. But I do like the 2.7L twin Turbo Eco Ford Engine in the ST model! Conversely, the Twisting of Air vents in the Blazer - to change the Temps is "weird". I thought that they simply controlled the air direction not the temps!
Everyone leaves out that the climate control is individual optioned, physical and digital. i.e. the passenger can ride at 75 and the driver at 62 degrees, With the option to sync them up, and programmable wheel and seat placement depending on the key / user you drive as... (girlfriend shorter than you? no adjusting)
As a tall driver who wishes the seat on his 2016 Edge SEL went back further I'm disappointed you didn't compare driver legroom on the two. That said, thanks tho for the head to head, new to your channel. I get uncomfortable on long drives but enjoy up to 33 mpg on flat Hwy.
I have a 2023 edge and tons of legroom up front in the driver's seat.
i love how you thought about the babies. i have 3 carseats
You cannot beat these new Edge SUVs built on the proven CD4 platform. Tons of tech/features & proven Gen2 GTDI powertrains w/7 or 8spd tranny. Love the 12in+ tablet /infotainment. My 22 Edge SEL AWD is my 3rd Edge! All have been excellent. JD Powers & Consumer Reports always says great things bout Edge. *You get consistently w/ the Edge ..as its always been built at the same award winning facility in Canada* . Powertrain is built @Cleveland Engine plant (CEP). That plant builds ALL Fords excellent GTDI engines.
Definitely Chevy
Will there be an Edge replacement? I hear it will be discontinued after 2023 and the Nautilus.
No need to reply, I made it to the end of the video.🙂
Unfortunatley not. Ford is too busy taking money from China to make EVs, so they are killing off most their gas powered vehicles which should be criminal in the US.
Edge all the way, I have and edge ST
Hello Daily Motor
Hi Daily Motor
Blazer just looks cheap. Edge is a lot classier. Blazer reminds me of a ricer car with the painted vents and cheap looking rims. Two tone fenders...yikes.
I had a 2022 Ford Edge as a rental for a week... poor build quality; gaps everywhere, car exterior so plain and boxy, could pass for a current SUV in 1985, instrument cluster from 2005, iPad glued to dash, gear shifter you can't even see in bright light, drives like a tank in molasses, poor gas mileage... a very boring and uninspiring vehicle... I can't comment about the Blazer because I've never been in one... I don't make judgement calls on cars i've not driven, but I have driven an Edge and was mightily unimpressed. I would never buy one (especially since they charge way too much for what they offer, so many foreign SUVs offer way more for less). The only positive... as a family hauler, it is FUNCTIONAL, that's about the only positive out of it.
The fit and finish of my Edge ST is amazing. The only negative on the interior is the damn dash from 2010.
@@VanquishedAgain Agreed, but I haven't owned an Edge in the past so its new to me. Would be nice if it was fully digital but to be honest I prefer the old style as there is less to go wrong!
