If you monitor your Edge's vitals with something like Torque Pro, you could do a before/after test using a piece of sturdy cardboard for the "after" portion to block airflow.

Did they try replacing the throttle body? well known problem with the Edge and they even have a TSB for it for the Fusion. Simple fix, and then you get on with your life ...

Depends on the dealer. When I was working through a "mysterious" problem with the Edge, the dealership said they used to have a recorder, but someone stole it and they just never replaced it. And this is one of the biggest dealerships in my area. So not a priority obviously ...

Welcome to the community, and congrats on the impending (if indefinite) arrival! Exciting

Checked codes? Any error messages on the display? The usual culprits are: A) Bad throttle body (may or may not set a code) B] Bad wheel sensor C) Bad TSS/OSS sensors On this forum, you have to have at least 5 posts to use the PM service. FordService (Tricia) is our rep for non-electronics (Sync/MFT/etc) issues.

No comment on looks but probably should move the lights up to that widest chrome strip area so as not to block air flow?

I sure hope so, akirby. Don't want a replay of the infamous Lexus todo, except milder.

NO ... TMI ... SIMPLIFY!!! Seriously, the manuals are real tomes. The ole timey epics ain't got nuttin' on these things.

It certainly doesn't have any give when you push on it with your hands/body weight. Should be interesting!

Fuel economy can actually improve with 93 octane when the PCM can account for it. These EB engines love their octane ...

I hope the 5% is not off the MSRP Be sure to become very familiar with all the options & equipment you SHOULD have on the Edge before you take delivery so you can do your own pre-delivery checklist. Also check the manufacturing date to see if the water leak recall applies and has been corrected. All recalls should be fixed before you take delivery. Take it for a quick spin to make sure it drives well. If you like your vehicles detailed & spic'n'span, don't let them wash the Edge before you take delivery. Arrange with a detailer beforehand so the Edge can be protected from the get-go. You may or may not be a warranty-type person, but if you are going to hold on to the Edge longterm, it's worth looking at & understanding Ford's offering for extended warranties. http://www.factoryplans.com/assets/cms/files/brochure_FordESPPlanOptions.pdf If you like what you see, shop online at Lombards or Flood Ford, get a price and have your dealership match it and roll it into the purchase price. I have had one instance just recently where a MasterTech (aftermarket) warranty has really worked out for the buyer. http://mastertechvpp.com/Files/MT-Brochure-Web.pdf

And look, your gas gauge is rapidly dropping past E

Fortuitous turn of events, in a way, are always welcome Have fun with man v nature. Video update to come on your channel?

Any defects in the lens? They get pitted, yellowed, even cracked over time. Might be moisture building up on the inside due to a seal failure or a crack. Can you post a pic or two so we can see for ourselves?

:waiting: ...

Nope, not at all. They have great grip, but they do have softer tread compound than summer tires and you can feel that little bit of give as you load up the tire (steering/changing direction/banking). There are ultra high performance all season tires where you don't feel the difference from summer tires as much (e.g. continental dws vs michelin pilot super sport), you still feel like you are riding on rails.

Must've finally stuffed some NBA/NHL players into the box.

Do you have the 2.0EB in the Edge? I take it there were no codes set either? A lot of them will not trigger the CEL. Which sensor was it? Bank 2 sensor 1 by any chance?

I put the 421Qs on my Edge this past July. They are working well so far (sun, rain, mud), though I feel they are somewhat on the "rubbery" side where handling is concerned. Definitely not a "sport" tire. No winter experience yet, so can't speak to that.

You hit the nail on the head. The first thing to do is replace the fob battery, and then the vehicle battery. Ideally, you would also have the Battery Monitoring System reset with the new vehicle battery for the best longevity.

If you want to narrow down by your specific vehicle, you can go into the "Read All Reviews" page for the tire on tirerack.com then select only the reviews for your vehicle (if available).

Long time to hold on to a bike, and in primo condition at that! Here's to 500K

Plenty of discussions on this subforum: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/forum/46-wheels-tires/ Favorites tend to agree with Tirerack's ratings (look at the CUV tires first). I generally go for the tire with the highest rating & the most miles driven. An example: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=CSTAS&width=245%2F&ratio=60&diameter=18&tireSearch=true&filter=y&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2007&autoModel=Edge+SEL&autoModClar=AWD In addition, the Yokohama Parada Spec-X is a popular tire, and more recently, the General G-MAX. I know the G-MAX has received favorable reviews as all seasons on cars with similar weight/GVW ratings (like the Ford Taurus), so it should work reasonably well in this application also.
