the only thing missing is a dry cleaners...

The installer I used sells Curt as well as Draw Tite. When I had it installed, Draw Tite was the only manufacturer that had an option. As a matter of fact, I had to wait another 2 weeks for a wiring harness from Draw Tite as there were no aftermarket harnesses either. When I called the Ford dealer about having them install it, they even said there were no harnesses and they would have to "manually" wire it since I didn't have the tow package.

It's better than being a dumb one... Oh, and welcome Gloria.

THANK YOU!!!

Search is your friend, my friend... http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1289

You mean, PHotograPHy, right JePHPHery...???

Good_Hands, you can say that again...oh, wait, you already did...

Welcome aboard!

Do you have the 2" receiver? Did yours come with the factory receiver? Yes and no. What make and model is this 'aftermarket'?? Hidden Hitch, Drawtight, Putnam???? It's a Draw Tite (not sure of the model number).

Except for the "car" part, you just described every CUV/SUV out there. I admitted it is a variation, but I would consider the focus as you described it a wagon as well as the Freestyle (now Taurus X) as wagons. Much more car-like and lower to the ground. Just my opinion and nothing more.

Is not...my parents had station wagons the Edge is no station wagon. A variation maybe, but not a station wagon. When was a station wagon of very sharp styling, excellent ride and handling, good pick-up, fun to drive??? Only one that was modified for drag racing!

I have an aftermarket and all that had to be cut was a shield between the muffler and floor pan for the hitch mounting flange. It sits below the factory bumper, so it's actually lower than the factory installed hitch. There's a pic in my gallery that shows it. All the other stuff would be nice, but...this one didn't have it already.

I started out looking for green ones; every car I have owned for the last 15 years has been green. I guess there were so many issues with those, they didn't even make it to the lot. I'm very happy with the carbon, same color as the Bronco II I had waaaay back when, before the green ones.

Yeah, what's up with that anyway. Must really be an issue with those. Glad mine is Carbon (which is no longer available; guess one day it will be a collector's item...)

Owner's manual...I think I saw one of those in the Smithsonian once. It was in the Automotive History Archives. Something about being the most un-read documents ever published.

Oh, and there is a lengthly post in this forum somewhere regarding break-in with some informative info. Search and ye shall find...

I tried to take it easy the first 500 miles, very hard btw. Changed the oil after 1,000 miles, and all is well. You'll have much fun "puttin' the pedal to the metal" (or at least to the carpeted floor mats; unless you get the weather tech's or something...) ENJOY! And Welcome.

Why do you think we never heard about the GREEN ones...???

A station wagon has none of the characteristics you just described about your Edge...

So why did you pick Audiovox over the others? What were the others you considered?

Another Update: Took it to the dealer this morning to have the repairs done (already got it back this afternoon). They gave me a loaner without even asking. Here's the kicker on the loaner: the rental dept wasn't open yet and the only thing they had available was a Mustang convertible...and some of you folks were given a lowly Focus...of course it was 28 degrees when I left with it; so much for trying it with the top down...at any rate, repairs are good and I'm satisfied.

That's right Rod, tell him what he's won...

This threads going nowhere anyway: "Too much time on my hands...." Artist anyone?

the one that picked red...
