The only things I'd recommend to prevent rust on a vehicle are: clear bra, lots of washing during the winter (especially underneath the car), and possibly a standard aftermarket undercoating. The electronic rust inhibitors simply cannot work because your vehicle is not electrically grounded. More info: http://corrosion-doctors.org/Car/car-electronic-rust.htm

I agree. After the update I keep catching myself looking at the MFT screen for the temperature. The tiny little display on the bottom of the right 4in LCD screen is just too hard to read while driving.

Just got my update in the mail this afternoon and I'll be installing it this evening. Can't wait!!

I haven't received mine yet either. The only thing I got so far is a post card from my dealership saying an update is available.

Because of the way that the leather is treated, your best bet is to just use warm water and maybe a tiny bit of mild soap. You don't really want to use any fancy conditioners, detergents, or leather products since they could actually degrade the protective coating that's on the leather.

Wow, trading in the car you bought (probably for next to nothing) without even consulting with you is pretty damn selfish and impulsive. But look at her role model... good grief. That would probably be it for me... but you obviously know the history better than I do. Like I said before, going from my ex who had absolutely no sense with money and was determined to rack up as much debt as possible to my wife who is just as, if not more frugal as I am has been very very nice. We don't even have disagreements about money, let alone fight about it. :happy feet:

My advice has nothing to do with the Edge. If she makes impulse buying decisions on a $25k vehicle purchase with a crappy interest rate and out-of-her-budget payments, just imagine how much fun she will be to deal with when you start combining your money. I spent years with a girl who was awful with money management and I will NEVER go back again. Good luck man.

Probably, but I'm just going off of what the syncmyride.com site says.

Although the criticism was well deserved it's not fair to attack him further since he has no way to respond......

It would be interesting to know how fast the vehicle was going that t-boned it, but it looks like the passenger cabin was very well protected. Thanks for sharing.

If you have Navigation, you have to wait for the new SD card (and USB stick) in the mail. If you don't have Nav, then you can download and install the update from syncmyride.com.

Looks pretty nice. I can't wait to get my update so I never have to deal with the current version again!!

I agree. The panels on my Edge all look and fit great. The only complaint I have regarding "fit and finish" would be the interior plastic trim on the B pillar, which is slightly off, and it's pretty minor.

What exactly did you receive???

They're 20x8 and I believe the offset was 39mm. Tires are the stock size for 20in wheels, 245/50/R20. In my non-expert opinion, yes there was plenty of stud left with the 5mm spacer.

I've been tracking my mileage since I bought my Edge. It's gone down considerably this winter with the colder temps and I'm doing a lot more city driving.

Just got this in the mail in the latest My Ford magazine. I don't think there's any new information but I'd like to know when it will "arrive shortly."

Good lookin Edge! Welcome!

EDIT: SOLD

I'm selling a full set of 18" OEM wheels + tires + TPMS sensors if you're interested.

Very cool! I'd love to hear about some real world gas mileage figures after you've driven it for a while.

What about finding a donor 4th gen Taurus SHO (3.5L twin turbo Ecoboost) and swapping out the engine and transmission?

Agreed ^^^^. I've purchased / leased several vehicles with the A / Z plan and every time they were able to give me an exact price almost instantly without negotiation.

You can't get the Ecoboost engine with AWD, and as welpse stated above the Ecoboost has 4 cylinders.

I've never been able to get the status checker to work properly. It will run on the MFT and it updates an xml file on the usb drive but I have never been able to successfully get it to upload to the syncmyride.com website.
