GettnEdgey

Looks good to me Mike. Thanks. Dave

Thanks for your comments Jen. I will check into those chrome handles. Dave

Has anyone installed those chrome window pillar posts that you can get on ebay? These cover the black area all around the windows (which seem to scratch easy). They look nice in the picture. Makes the Edge look classier. Dave

Have had my 2wd Edge since March. Just turned 6,000 KM's with no problems at all with this 2008 vehicle. Dave

The parking brake is a great idea jlight. (Looking back at it now!) Dave

Well, after hearing about the Edge and how much it rolls back when putting it in park, it happened to me. I backed up to my travel trailer (which was on a downslope), put it in park about 4" away from the tongue of the trailer and you guessed it. The Edge rolled right back and cut a hole in the bumper. Nice! Not even 3 months old. This vehicle does roll back more than others as far as I am concerned. I put a "tape on" reflector over the damage until I decide what I am going to do. Just a word of warning to you guys and girls so it does not happen to you. Dave

Thanks guys! We (the premium painted wheels group) must stick together!!!!! Dave

Thanks for both of your responses. I now feel much better about those rims. Nice looking plane wingburner! Dave

I keep looking, but never see anyone else with them. The gray wheels are nice in one way, but from a distance they look dirty with no shine to them. I am kind of wishing I had the nice shiney chrome looking wheels. My dealer talked me into going with the larger 18" wheels with these rims. I had never even seen the rims until my Edge came in. I live close to the Oakville plant and see all the Edge's with the nice wheels. Does anyone else have the darker gray wheels and do you like them? Dave

I take it that you already have the roof rails. If so, yes the cross bars are very easy to install. Just 2 screws on the end of each cross bar attach it to the roof rail.

So far I am very happy with my gas mileage. I have just over 2,000 km's on mine so it might not even be broken in yet. But I am comparing this to a 2004 Ford Freestar van that I traded in for my Edge. That van had a 98 litre tank and I would get about 500 km's per tank. My Edge has a 72 litre tank and I am getting at least 575 km's per tank. I just wanted to point out that some of us are fairly happy with the mpg's. Dave

Not sure if you have it on your 07, but my button to push is marked "EXT" right beside all the temperture controls on my 08. I am pretty sure all Edge's would have this.

I agree with jamers. If that is a new blue for 2009, I wish it was available in the 08's. Oh well, my light ice blue is nice too. :yup:

Thanks Bon Dia for the tip on hooking up the trailer brakes. I think I will. Not looking forward to hearing all those noises while towing though.

That Oakville Ford plant provided a job for my father and father in law for over 30 years each. They have both passed away and I will always be thankful to Ford for providing us with food and shelter. I just got my last vehicle on the A plan (my Edge 2 weeks ago) and will always support Ford with the A plan or not. Just my 2 cents worth. Dave
