The 2019 Ford Edge ST delivers a whopping 335 hp from its twin-turbo V-6 engine, and as is reasonable to expect, you're going to have to pay for that extra power. Ford has launched its configurator for the Edge ST, revealing a starting price of $43,350. That's $12,360 more than the base Edge and $3,805 more than the luxurious Titanium, both making 250 ponies.
Six paint colors are available on the ST: black, blue, gray, silver, and, for extra coin, red and white. Key standard features include leather-trimmed seats with cloth inserts, 20-inch wheels, the Class II Trailer Tow package, hands-free liftgate, lane-keep assist, and the Sync 3 infotainment system.
Even though it's the highest trim level of the Edge lineup, the ST offers many options and packages. For $1,995, buyers can opt for the rear seat entertainment package, and for $1,595, a panoramic roof is available.
A driver assistance system includes evasive steering assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and lane centering, and a navigation system—all for $795. Ford is also offering Enhanced Active Park Assist, which scans available parking spots and helps you navigate into the space. These features, as well as heated and cooled rear seats and front 180-degree camera with split view and washer, can be bundled together in a package costing $5,585. The ST Performance Brake package, priced at $2,695, requires opting for this package. With a number of boxes checked, it's easy for the Edge ST to reach beyond $50,000.

When I tell people I write about cars, the most common reply I receive is “Really?” I guess I never strike people as a car type as I drive down the freeway in the right lane going 60 mph in my old SUV. My gripes about driving in city traffic and fast drivers don’t help my case, either. For a time, the only cars I liked were old cars. Not old as in "classic" or "vintage," but as in well-worn. My first appreciation of cars came when I drove a very old Ford pickup. It wasn't perfect: I used a booster seat to reach the gas pedal, and the turn signal once fell off in my hand as I was learning to drive. But the thing I valued most was the memories. It took several years for me to truly become a "car person." Being a long-time writer and an avid reader has helped me develop a healthy curiosity and a desire to know how things work. This has made cars one of the most fascinating points of study for me because they are such intricate machines. I am interested in how cars can reach 200 mph, how they can run on hydrogen, and how they can drive and park on their own. I also enjoy learning how cars can solve problems whether it be in the form of reducing pollution, minimizing traffic, or helping people stay connected on the road. Yes, maybe I’m not a gearhead. Perhaps I’m a car nerd. Either way, I very much enjoy writing about cars and helping people stay in tune with the automotive industry. I wouldn't want to be writing about anything else. And don’t get me wrong: I know how to drool over a hot car. I am fascinated by the Tesla Model S, awed by the Lamborghini Veneno, and am hopelessly obsessed with the Audi R8.
