  1. I put Putco 360 back up lamps in mine, I got them on Amazon. They have 8 radial and 1 center. They seem bright, but they are hard to seat with a good contact. I got them in a they seem to be still working.

  2. Man oh man do I hope they make one for the 3.5. But like cozzz said, I hope it's quiet inside. My old Ranger had straight pipes and sounded nice, but it sure was loud in the cab.

  3. On the Ford Edge page, on the right, there is a button that says "Get Updates". Check get info by mail, and fill it out. Later I got a post card fit $750 off (excluding the Edge SE AWD). It was sent from my local dealer, but I also thought I got one from Ford. Fine print said it can't be used with other loyaly programs, commercial deals, blah blah. Can't be used after sale.

     

    I hope this makes more sense.

  4. If that's the 'best feature of that SUV'...glad I own an Edge...

    Me too. She got it before we were married. It is nice and roomy, has a slightly longer rear storage space, and a rear window that opens up. That is about it. It runs on premium fuel. Parts are a bitch (over $700 to replace the prematurely worn struts that only Mitsubishi makes), and the integrated head unit can't be read in bright light.

  5. I will agree that the the Sony System and turn signals are a nice upgrade, the rest (esp vision package) are kinda worthless. Instead of BLIS, I think the 1.5" convex button mirrors are way more functional. Rain sensing wipers are one of the dumbest things auto makers have created. I am not a fan of my chrome wheels since they are chrome plated plastic basically fused to the rim. I thought ambient lighting was frivolous, but damn, if it isn't neat. I'm glad it came on my '12 SEL.

     

    Don't forget to on the Edge homepage to request a brochure, you should get a $750 customer cash voucher in the mail 2 weeks later. Mine came 1 week after I bought my Edge.

     

    (Perhaps you could sell Dingo the chrome window trim)

  6. DRL Standard

    These blind spot mirrors are almost useless, I like my button convex mirrors much better, I can see everything, including the curb.

    Full size spare that goes under, not in the back (ever get a flat on a fully loaded road trip?).

    Fuel door that you open in the cab.

    Hood struts with a light.

    I have a non navigation Edge, and the compass only shows N, S, E, W, and nothing in between.

    And of course a v6 EcoBoost for AWD.

  7. Today I finished my speaker replacements. It's too bad that Boston Acoustics is getting out of the car audio game, but I was able to pick up some of their speakers for a pretty good price.

    I put SR80 speakers in the front, and they barely fit in the opening. I had to cut off the alignment tabs for the factory paper speakers, and was only able to get 3 screws in the factory holes. I had to put self tapper in the for the 4th hole. But they went in, and sound great.

    I also put in SC85 speakers in the back, and had to finagle the speakers into the mounting holes, but I won in the long run.

    I don't know what other car companies use, but these stock speakers up front are the cheapest speakers I've ever seen. The plastic tweeter, paper woofer, in a plastic basket is pretty lame. What I was surprised me was that the inside door frame is all plastic bolted to the edge of the frame. Everything is back together, and it sure sounds much nicer.

     

    I'm working up a step by step removal guide and replacement guide. Hanging the door panel back on is a bit tricky if you don't know what to look for.
