  1. I just got a 2008 limited and it came with a ford remote start. It is a nice feature, however you have to be pretty close to the vehicle for it to work. It will definetly work in your driveway. It is no way anything more than a remote start. If you are looking for something else, you have to go after market. Good Luck, by the way I do like having this feature.
  2. I don't know exactly what has changed, The loaded 2007 edge I drove for 2 weeks the headrest was more angled so it pushed my head downx and it was hard as a rock. This one is much more cushy and less of an angle.
  3. Ok, so my car is not loaded, but for me it is loaded with a lot of stuff. I would never consider 20 's being part of the loaded package, because that is personal preference and I do not like at all the spoke pattern on the 20s. So I do not have the navigation system on my 2008 Limited. The BAMR sun roof could have a much better wind deflector. The one they have just makes for a whole lot of unnecessary noise. The one line display for the sync system is not good, you barely know what it says. They should have not taken air controls off the steering wheel. Cruise control takes up too much room and could be done with one toggle button, instead of three. There should be a passenger side fan control for the air and shut offs for the air on their side. The BAMR controls should be lit up so you can see where the heck they are without turning on cabin light and the controls should be one touch instead of having to hold entire time. The menu controls for the sync system on the radio are poor to terrible. And as much as I really, really hate to admit it because I made fun off the previous posts... There really is a serious glare at times on windshield. ARGH, I said it. The air conditioning is not great. At times it is seriously lacking. Gas Mileage so far is just 16mpg. Postive notes: The head rests are way better than the 2007. The sound system sounds good to very good. The BAMR is a great plus, The automatic rear hatch is great. The auto start feature from Ford is great. The Sync is incredibly fun. I love the The Bridgestone Tires and 18 rims, Whether they are plastic or not I like them. The seats are very comfortable and I am a 6-1 240lb. man. Car is nice on the inside. Nice touches. Drives good and handles much better than they said it would, (consumer Reports). I love to be able to talk clear on the blue tooth phone, (people say that my phone sounds better in the car than out of car.) Sat. radio comes with radio for 6 months. There are many more positives than negative in my mind for this car. I am pleased and feel blessed to have this particular vehicle. I just feel that Ford can address these other things and make a near perfect car. By the way, I have no problem with the brakes so far
  4. Ok, I everything is working well on the hatch part. It must have been a fluke because after I had the car sit there for a couple of hours it closed and opened no problem. Plus a good thing happened, the dealership showed me, I can hand close it if I had to. Love the car. Would change some things if they asked. The funny thing is most of the complaints I have been hearing on the site, since the beginning, are actually true. I always just thought you guys were too particular. All in all, I am very happy. The price was not good. First 2008 in this area. They got me good! I have 18 wheels. (which I love) and no Navigation. Everything else is loaded. They got me for 3000 down and $450 a month. Ouch! I was so needy for the car, they knew they had me at the first Sync operation!
  5. Just picked up the Loaded limited. I am a little dissapointed today. Waited months for this Car, it is beautiful. Automatic rear hatch, stopped working on first day. Just goes up and down like a ride at the amusement park. When I get this fixed and I am in a better mood about the car I will post pics and give full review. I will compare it to the 2007 that I had for the last few weeks.
  6. Just purchased the Edge and would love to make the tail pipes bigger more pronounced. I know nothing about how to go about this. Can anyone give me a suggestion? Thanks
  7. Can you tell me if I can just install new tips and where I would find those. Thank you. By the way your vehicle looks amazing!
  8. Your new Edge is beautiful, love the color!
  9. I went and checked out the Edge to find out what all the hype is. I mean, "No handles to get in and out, No Tiptronic transmition, Got a glare on the window, no Homelink garage door opener." So I finally went to see it. Turned in my 04 loaded Black Expedition Limited yesterday and I ordered an 08 Limited Black on Black EDGE! I found out all those things really don't matter to me as much as the look and the feel of the vehicle. Plus the new car has the homelink so I could stop crying about having to use a garage door opener. Got the automatic rear hatch opener for my wife " if she wants to drive my new baby", she is only 5ft and it was definitely a stretch for her to close the hatch. Ordered the BAMR and I am so pyched to see if any part of the sync media system partnership with Microsoft is actually going to work. All in all Car came to 32k. Seems very fair to me for what you get. I will let you know!
  10. First time post. I have a Limited 2003 Expedition. Love it except for the gas mileage. Almost sure of getting a 2008 limited Edge with the Sync and Liftgate. Is it true that there are no handles to help passenger side person get into vehicle? My wife is small and My Granfather is 86. Please tell me I have heard wrong. Thanks.
