Welcome and congrats on your new Edge. These little rides are addictive. Enjoy!!!

Welcome to the forum. I would say enjoy your Edge, but it looks like you already are.

Probably can get a nice set of 20s without coming out of his pocket. My guess is those wheels cost a fortune if you buy them new from Ford.

We have around 1,000 miles on ours and we get about 17 mpg doing mixed city/highway driving. We're definitely enjoying our Edge. Heard the 9s were nice vehicles as well. Good luck with your decision.

Oh boy, I guess this is what I have to look forward to. I bet Ford left the aluminum bare to save money because they glue on the chrome cover. There won't be much savings if they have to replace the wheels under warranty. If I have to replace mine, I'm going with the premium painted 18s.

I'm paying for a little more peace of mind as well. I'm going with full synthetic and changing the oil every 5,000 miles instead of 7,500. I'll go with either Mobil 1 or Royal Purple oil and probably the Motorcraft filter. I change the oil myself so I'll save a little there.

Welcome to the forum. Nice stable of rides you got there. Especially the Lightning.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new edge.

Wow, February 25, 2008 and still "coming soon".

As Jeff alluded to, I'd suggest going with the recommended 5W-20 as well. It's proven that the lighter 20 weight flows better and get into the tighter clearance parts better during the critical startup and warmup period. In other words, engine wear is reduced. As far as brands, I use to use Mobil 1 but recently started using Royal Purple in my supercharged F150. I'll probably go with Royal Purple in the Edge when it's time to change the oil in it.

We've been having our Edge for 2 weeks now and we've never referred to it as a car. We always call it "The Edge". Such a cool name for a ride. :shades:

Congrat on your new Edge. We got everything except the navigation system. It's not bad but I couldn't see spending a couple grand for something that we won't use that much. Instead, we's adding the headrest DVDs for the kids. Good luck and be careful in that snow.

Sorry to hear of your misfortunes with your transmissions. Looks like you guys are heading in the right direction going back to the dealership and claiming warranty. I'd try to negociate a rental if you don't already have coverage. You could be in for a long shop visit.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new Edge.

Can you get one of your customers to take pictures and send them to you?
