No contest-Edge seats are very comfortable vs. tolerable seats in the Dodge. see full Ford Edge review

The Edge rear seat legroom is great. There are few crossovers with such good rear seat comfort and legroom. I did not want the third row, the lack of third row helps with rear legroom. see full Ford Edge review
