  1. That 5 dollar foot long commercial is really getting under my skin, especially when my wife saw it and said that I had $2.87!!! Now that was crushing.
  2. I have an 07 FWD Edge SEL Plus. The only option I don't have is the power lift gate and the navigation system. I drive every week on the highway, I travel 4 States now. I get 24.9 avg, most of the time, yes this is mostly highway but does include some city. I have gotten as much as 25.3 avg on a tank of fuel. I bought this vehicle new in October. Again I travel 4 States and am on the highway daily. I have no clue what it does in the city, I live in a suburb of St Louis and the city driving is the Highway. I use Ford 5w20 Semi Synthetic Oil and try and use BP Fuel Premium Grade. I am very pleased. I am 46 years old and drive the limit or slightly higher, I rarely jack rabbit start and yes some of you would say I drive like an old man. Well maybe I do, But I certainly get good gas mileage.
  3. Thanks for the good question. I also was wondering that. I run mine in Auto 99% of the time and leave it set to around 67 68 69ish. When it is good and warm inside the A/C light comes on by itself. About the only thing I touch is the Seat Warmers. Oh by the way. I just drove from Moscow Mills MO to Champaign IL. I got 25.7 avg MPG. I always run B-P Premium Fuels and drive with my foot and NOT the cruise control. I can nurse the heck out of fuel in this baby. My AVG MPH was 47. Then again I am 47 years old and drive conservatively. I punch it when I need to, and occasionally like twisty roads at the brink of disaster speeds. This is No sports car but for a 4800 lbs vehicle it is a lot of fun. I have noticed that driving 65 mph does not achieve good fuel economy.
  4. I agree with Brucesmays. I were polarized sunglasses and it goes away. I have Meguiars goop all over the interior. My bride puts it on there, looks good but I hate that greasy feel.
  5. Bulldog I would agree and can only hope these are better made, however I seriously doubt it. The Powder Coating on my aluminum blistered and came off leaving the Aluminum bare and it tarnished. While they were checking these wheels of mine they were rotating also. I wanted to see what the deal is with the Chrome Cover Piece and it is in Fact Metal contrary to popular belief of plastic. I have 15K on my Edge and plan to run these wheels through next winter and see how they do. Then I will probably purchase some after market wheels, if these turn out the same way. I like your Icon. I have many Harley Rings and chokers with that similar Skull Head on it. Too many according to the Misses.
  6. I have modified 4 F150's all 5.4's with exhaust, FIPK and chips or programmers. I received nothing more than an extraction of money from my wallet. The sound was appealing and all four seemed to feel more responsive, however any claims of HP increase could not be verified by the seat of my pants. 10% increase is hard to feel no mater who you are. I enjoyed modifying all my previous Trucks some cars and my Bikes. I get 23-24 mpg all the time with my 07 Edge SEL+, MPH average is usually 45mph. And yes that is a lot of Highway. How else can you get an MPH average of 45 without being on the highway a great deal. I noticed on every single one of my FIPK kits that when cleaning my filter there was always a fine dust film inside the Tube. I really enjoy K&N products in the right application, however on my daily driver I would just as soon not draw dirt into my engine. Before you dispute this claim take an oil sample to a CAT Dealer or some other place that does oil analysis and see for yourself what the dirt levels are after running an Open Air Cotton filter an a straight intake tube. I have done this several times and always had high levels of dirt with recommendations to change air filter and retest at half intervals. They just simply aren't good for a daily driver, unless you enjoy washing your rings out of the engine.
  7. All four of my wheels are being replaced by Bill Greer Ford in Sedalia MO where I bought my Edge. Service Manager looked at it and said no problem. :stats:
  8. Glad you pointed this out! I just checked mine and they are all mounted with OUTSIDE on the outside. I have the Continentals also, mine are the ones that came on the Edge when I bought it. Good info!!! I'm glad I checked mine. I hate continentals, I would rather have Michelin.
  9. I also have an 07 edge with the wonderful chrome clad wheels.............NOT! Mine are corroding also. I think that wonderful chrome clad piece is trapping containments and causing this problem. I have had mine since Oct and I have 13,900 miles on mine and all four wheels look like crap. I am going tomorrow to see the dealer. When I bought my vehicle I knew the Chrome Clad was a plastic piece glued to the wheel. I thought it would be alright. Boy was I wrong!
  10. You are correct, My post was incorrect. You must open the door before they unlock. My Bad, sorry for the confusion.
  11. There is a Black Plastic Trim Ring that goes around the rear sun roof. This piece is held up there by Velcro. The velcro does NOT stay glued to the Body, Glass Surface! Mine did the same thing and Ford gave me a tube of Contact Adhesive and I fixed it my self. There is several places around this trim ring that has velcro and I glued them all. NO problems since and it has been several COLD months ago. There is a TSB on this and it has already been mentioned. Look under TSB updates section in this forum and it will explain it there also. If your dealer is NOT lazy they can look it up also, and it clearly explains how to fix it, and no the headliner does NOT have to come out to fix it. I know this because I fixed it myself without taking the headliner down.
  12. Mine is the same way. Containments caught between the Chrome Cover and the Aluminum wheel causing the aluminum to corrode. I wonder if they will allow me to purchase the ALL CHROME 20's instead of going back with these chump $hit wheels.
  13. Now I am confused! Do they unlock in the autounlock or lock in the autolock, or is it unlock in lock and lock in unlock. When the feature is activated mine has to hit 12 miles per hour to auto lock all doors and when I stop, put in park, and take the key out all my doors unlock, even the rear hatch. Maybe it's because mine is Orange, kinda like what I have for a brain...............an Orange!
  14. Thanks Kirby I personally don't know where to find the owners manual on line but I bet I could find it if I tried real hard. I would also say thanks.
  15. Good Lord in Heaven why are people so mean to one another? The answer is NO! there is NO Oil Reminder like you may have had on a previous vehicle. However Trip odometer B can be used for this function. Or A if you wish. I always use the 3 system. If you can divide the mileage evenly by 3 then it is time to change the oil. I change my oil every 3,000 miles. 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27 etc, you get the picture I am sure. If you go by 5,000 then simply divide by 5. What if you are at work or in a Motel and you are on the 21st floor and have your pajamas on and simply are browsing this forum and the thought crosses your mind, "hey is there an Oil Change Reminder on my new Edge" so you post the question and you get a response that makes you feel like crap for asking! Hey Sonny, I still live by your statement! You treat people the way you want to be treated, until they treat you differently, and then you treat them according!!!!
