The Journey offers outstanding cargo room with the second-row 60/40 split-folding seats that add tremendous versatility. Adding even more flexibility, you can slide the second-row seat back and forth. Both second-and third-row passengers enjoy stadium-style seating. Bring the team to the tailgate with available second-row in-floor storage that doubles as a cooler. Just add the ice.
Ford Edge Features & Design
The Edge is a five-passenger SUV with no third-row seating. Rear passengers can enjoy a generous 40.6 inches of legroom. The ST’s front seats have more pronounced bolstering for holding their occupants through quick corners. It also has its own digital instrument cluster. Luggage space measures 39.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats. This area increases to 73.4 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded.
