Does the Ford Edge qualify for the car loan interest deduction?

The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Ford Edge is built and what it means for your loan interest.

FAIL — assembled outside the USA
The Ford Edge does not qualify on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer

The Ford Edge was built in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, so it fails the OBBBA final-assembly-in-America test — and Ford has discontinued it for the US market. A new, personal-use Edge still can't clear this gate because it isn't US-assembled. Shoppers who want a US-built Ford SUV should check the Explorer (Chicago) or Escape (Kentucky).

Where the Ford Edge is assembled

The Ford Edge is imported for the US market — its final assembly point is outside the United States, so it fails the assembly test regardless of the brand.

Confirm the other three tests

A US-assembly result is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:

New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Check your exact VIN → Estimate your deduction

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ford Edge made in the USA?
No. The Edge was assembled in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, so it does not meet the US final-assembly requirement.
Is the Ford Edge still being sold?
Ford ended Edge production for the US market, so it is being phased out. Even the remaining units are Canadian-built and fail the assembly test.
Which Ford SUVs are US-built instead?
The Explorer (Chicago, IL) and Escape (Louisville, KY) are US-assembled. Confirm the plant with the VIN before relying on the deduction.
