I told my Minister of Finance to wash it twice in the past 2 weeks. That's how much salt was on it.

Mind you, this is the same lady that washed her previous Edge, a grand total of TWO TIMES, the 6 years she owned it.

This time is different, I told her. You're washing this truck and taking care of it. It's enough that I pay for it and gas it up.

Hi everyone, I just purchased a 2013 Edge Limited with the 20" rim option last week in Morristown, NJ. I really preferred the 18" chrome rims like I had on the 2008 Edge Limited that I traded in for the 2013. Unfortunately, with the option package I wanted (AWD, fully loaded) were only being produced with 20" rims options so it was not possible for me to get everything I wanted less the 20" rims. The option on the Limited is $895 to upgrade from 18" to 20", on the SEL the cost was $1200 vs. $800.

 

I am interested to see if anyone who recently purchased an Edge with 18" chrome rims (eg. SEL, Limited) who would like to upgrade to the 20" rims, the tires and rims on my car are brand new with less than 200 miles on them. I would be willing to swap for no cost, it should be a very low cost to change (maybe cost for TPMS sensor recalibration) and mounting fee.

 

I would be willing to meet anywhere in the NJ/NYC/Eastern PA/Etc. region to do the swap at a Ford dealership. I am located in Morris County, NJ.

 

Thanks for anyone's consideration!

 

 

The wife has the regular 18" aluminum wheels, idk if that's what you're looking for. She has 1200 miles on the truck now.

Yep, a speed3. or as the missus calls it, my sanity.

I am from NJ but am planning on going to All American Ford in Old Bridge as they have a sport, limited, and an SEL that fit my wants and/or needs. Anybody have experience with this dealership?

Me, just bought my 3rd vehicle from them. Always treated me fair. Ask for Joe Gemino, tell him Steve from Old Bridge sent you.

I just bought a 2013 SEL AWD for the missus.

Old pic for an old thread.

Here's the car that keeps me sane.

Props to who can guess what it is.

No matter what people on here say, I needed the bulb size and it was 6* out. I didn't feel like going outside to check the OM.

So thanks for this.

Thanks for the write up, I ordered these bulbs yesterday myself. (along with the map/dome light bulbs).

I would hold off on Morimoto for a few weeks as they have been having issues and have a recall out for their SS series Ballasts. I purchased Morimoto Elite System with the 5Five SS ballasts 6K bulbs and the wiring harness and was having many issues with the lights firing when it was colder than 30 degrees F. I called TRS and they at first wouldnt believe it was a wide spread issue till they had other callers telling them the same thing at which point they decided to do a redesign on their ballasts and came out with the DSP ballasts and have since swithced out my ballasts to the DSP ballasts and have also replaced the bulbs because I was still having issues with firing after the DPS ballasts were put in. Since I have the DSP ballasts in and new bulbs I have very few failure to fire issues. TRS has replaced one of the DSP ballasts that i was still having issues with even after the replacement and its been ok since but now my other new DSP ballast is having issues firing. So I honestly dont thing they have the issue completly resolved with the DSP ballasts. I am sending the DSP ballast that they replaced back so they can troubleshoot with it but I now need to get another new DSP ballast to see if that will resolve the issue on my other one. So Since buying the 5Five SS system I have replaced both ballasts 1 and one of them twice and have also replaced both bulbs once and need to replace the other ballast again. The SS ballast were terrible in the cold and being in MN its cold. When it was below 30 degrees one of the 1 lights failed to fire 8 out of 10 time and now with the DSPs its probably only 1 out of 15 times so way better but still an issue.

 

I originally had 6K bulbs but asked TRS to send 5Ks as the replacement and I like the 5K bulbs better because they have less blue tinge.

 

I went with Morimoto because I didn't want to have to deal with failure to fire issues but am fighting with it anyways. TRS has done a great job with getting parts and working to get the issue resolved and pushed a redesign out pretty quick but like I said before I'm not totally sure its completely resolved yet. I'll be calling TRS again today to get them to send me another DSP ballast to replace the one I am still having issues with.

 

If you have the SS ballasts and have issues with the lights failing to fire i would call TRS and have them replace your ballasts with the DSP ballasts. Even if the issue isn't resolved they are way more reliable than the SS ballasts.

Rut Roh, I ordered these yesterday.

They're purdy.

BTW, I love the info on your website. Very well done.

The typeface on it though, a little hard to read....IMHO of course.(old eyes here)

Just ordered the Morimoto HID set today.

5Five DSP

5000K

Canbus.

I asked the guy on the phone and that's what he recommended. I'll chime in when they're installed.
