Ford ENDURA Problems

The answer all depends on what you call off-road driving, Javed. The Ford Everest, being based on the Ranger, is a very competent off-roader. In fact, it’ll handle anything most owners would ever throw at it, while the Endura is more of a replacement for the Ford Territory. Meaning it has abilities better matched to a trip to the snow, not a true log-jumping, river-fording off-road journey.

The Sante Fe is more of the same (as the Endura) that is; a car that can cope with gravel roads and slippery surfaces, but not the rough and tumble of the Aussie bush. So it really comes down to how far off road you need to go. And if the answer is a long way, even if it’s just occasionally, then the Everest is your best choice.

To change the Ford Edge key battery, push the button on the smart key and remove the manual key. Then, using a flat-head screwdriver, prise the two halves of the battery apart by twisting the screwdriver in the end of the smart key where the manual key was removed from. Once the key is apart, replace the battery with a fresh #CR2450 battery and clip the key back together.

The Ford Edge (sold in Australia and New Zealand as the Endura) is available in both front wheel drive and all wheel drive. With no low range or locking hub options the mid-size SUV is not considered to have 4WD even though the all wheel drive system turns all four wheels.

Front wheel drive models are rated at 1774kg, while all wheel drive models are rated at 1840kg.

If you need to unlock a modern car like a Ford Edge (Endura) without a key then I hope you got good grades at Hogwarts as magic spells are the only way you'll succeed in getting into your car. However, before you grab a brick and injure yourself trying to break in, there are better alternatives (providing it isn't an emergency). Top of the bunch is to ring a qualified locksmith to come out and open the car for you for a fee. While Hollywood makes it look simple to enter a car without a key the old days of picking locks and hotwiring the ignition is pure fantasy as electronic immobilisers and modern lock designs are not simple things to beat. If a locksmith can't help you, you can have the vehicle towed to your local dealership to have it opened by them.

The Ford Edge (Endura in Australia and NZ) is rated to tow up to 2000kg of braked trailer, with an impressive 200kg of towball down-weight. This means the Ford Edge towing capacity is high enough to tow a small boat with ease.

Ford released an updated Edge (Endura) model at the New York Auto Show last year, ready for the 2019 model year, so the next update or new model is thought to be at least three years away.

The five-seat Ford Edge (Endura in Australia and New Zealand) is 4779mm long, while the seven-seat model is 4878mm long.

Stacked with features and with good looks the Ford Edge (Endura in Australia and New Zealand) is a stylish, well-appointed mid-size SUV. The 2019 model update was only launched several months ago so there hasn't been enough time for reliability problems to pop up, but any car should be treated with mechanical sympathy and serviced on-time to ensure longevity.

The current model, second-generation Ford Edge (or Endura in Australia and New Zealand) is built in Europe and the USA. More than 1.5 million Edge models have been sold since 2006.
