  1. I actually put myself in a kneeling position on the floor while my daughter drove it over all kinds of surfaces. It seemed like the rattle came from a bolt that held the seat to the floor. I brought it in to the dealer, they found a soda can wedged between the seats that had exploded and said the rattle was caused by this. Long story short, the rattle persisted and I just learned to live with it. 2011 Edge Ltd awd.

  2. To each his own right.. I never liked the Weather Tech or factory all season mats because during the snow or rain, it just seems like I was just dragging water and slush in the car and it would just stay there. That dirty and salty water would then create another set of problems with my shoes or pants. In both my 08 and 11 Edge's, I had a set of carpeted all weather Catch-All mats that were molded and fit perfectly, even in the cargo area. When they got dirty, I just hosed them off, dried off overnight and popped them back in just like new. I think the company went out of business. I tried to find them for my current cars, so disappointed. I think I was probably one of the few who appreciated them.

  3. You know what is somewhat maddening to me is the fact that the BAMR is a forced option for those who want the better equipment that come with the 301 and 302 packages for the Titanium model. I have always felt that my BAMR was a problem waiting to happen. Ford needs to make this a stand alone option as in the Sport Model or give us the option of deleting it from the packages. This feature has been on the Edge since its inception, you think they would have gotten it right by now! Too bad.

  4. I have been following this site for a long time. I noticed this year that I am seeing any enthusiasm for the 2018 MY as in recent years. Seems like in the past, information about the upcoming model year's always created a lot of interest. Not so much this year. Any thoughts?

  5. I actually did this in 2011. Let me explain. I had a 2008 Edge AWD Ltd. with 38,000 miles. I don't remember how much I put down at the time (been a long time). The 3 year lease was set to expire and I wanted the newer style 2011 Edge. My end lease purchase price was $18,000 so I bought it. The dealer then offered me $26K as a trade in for it. I took the trade in deal and ordered my 2011 Ltd. AWD. Otherwise I never would have done it.

  6. My driving style is light to medium. The 3.5 works for me but the BAMR does not. I have had 2 of them and keep them fully closed most of the time. I want the fancy seats, blind spot and other package contents. I just don't think the 2.0 will last long either, that engine is spinning hard all the time. On the negative side, I can't get the cognac seats in the Sport. Lots to think about.

  7. I am having the same issue. Time for me to replace my 11 Ltd AWD. I like what I have and fee like the engine is sufficient for me. I am looking at the Sport because it can be ordered with the Option package that is not requiring the BAMR. I also am hesitant about the turbo engine. I am looking to hear from someone that the Ecoboost can give me 150K miles without having to worry about expensive repair bills. If I were sure that the 2.7 twin turbo has made for the long haul I would not have an issue with getting one. In fact I would look forward to something different as I have already owned 2 Edge's with the 3.5 (both of which were trouble free).

  8. You know, I just have to wonder. How many of us would have taken a Vista Roof Delete option if it would have been available? I am talking about those of us who really want those packages like the 301A or 302A on the Titanium model. For sure, I would have taken it but for some reason Ford wants to put these in a lot of vehicles.
