I also have used the K&N in my vehicles and have never had a problem. Just put one in my 08 Edge about a month ago. I know I've heard the mileage computer on the Edge is not that accurate but since I'm to lazy to figure it out myself that is what I use. Checked it yesterday and it said I was getting 21.3 MPG, and that's mostly city driving, I'm older so I don't have a heavy foot like some. Seems pretty good to me. I was getting a little less than that before installing the K&N so whether it helps or not I'm not sure. Engine seems to run pretty much the same as before. I only have 4550 miles on the vehicle so it's not really broken in yet.

Yep, that looks just like the one I bought only it has a long velcro strap to roll it up when it's not in use. Mine was a little bit cheaper, $31.95 and then I got another $5.00 off. Shipping added another $10.

Just received a sun shade for my 08 Edge. Purchased two others (Walmart and auto parts store) and they never did quite fit, to long, not tall enough..... Found this latest one on www.wooddashpros.com and it's an exact fit. When they say its made for a spacific vehicle they were right. It fits up against the inside of the windshield with no overlap or gaps anywhere. I didn't know one could fit so good. So, if your looking to get something to protect your dash and keep the car a little cooler, this is the sun shade you might want to consider. A heads up-it's not cheap but if you read the "site information" at this website under Discounts/Coupons, you can save $5.00 off the original price.

Just had a Sherwood Dash Kit installed. Bought the kit off the internet for $192.90 with free shipping. Had it sent to a professional installer and they put it in this morning. Since the light woods looked to bright, I went with the Magestic Burl, which is very dark wood. The interior color is light and we thought the dark wood with the dark dash looked better. The installer charged me $80 and it took a little over an hour. Very nice job. If anyone is interested the internet site where I bought the kit was www.wooddashpros.com and I believe they are out of Arizona.

Very nice ride. How ironic you took the photo in front of a bank???

Saw one of those bumper protectors on the MKX and it looked very nice. It didn't have any logo on it that I could see, so maybe it was an aftermarket one that fits this vehicle. Looked a lot more substancial (tougher) than the one they advertise, which is very similar to the Edge protector.

Sorry responded before I read the previous message. Funny place to put the rear window washer.

Tippy-I might be mistaken but I believe that Ford advertises the Edge will get 19 City and 24 Highway. On a recent trip I averaged a little over 24 mpg and that was mostly highway driving. I checked my mileage again this morning and I'm still getting better than 23 and now it's more in town, although I do expect it to go down driving around town, but I'd even be happy with 19. I still say it's got a lot to do with the way one drives that determines the mileage we get.

I also have been happy with the gas milage so far. Got almost 3000 miles on the new Edge and it's holding around 23 mpg. That's city and highway driving. I would think a lot to do with the mileage would be each persons particular driving style. Easy off the stop lights and no hard acceleration. Like I said holding at just over 23.

I also have the camel interior and carpeting. The carpeting in that light color might have been a mistake. Just received a set of floor mats manufactured by Lloyds (in black) and the fit is exceptional. I was afraid they would be like the mats one might get at Walmart, one size fits all, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Looks like the manufacturer measured my Edge for the exact fit. Front and back are great.

Just got back from a trip and when I left the Edge (FWD) only had around 400 miles on it. Ended up with an average of 24.1 mpg and that's mostly highway with a little city/county driving thrown in. Thought that was pretty good. Now I have almost 2,000 miles on it.

Where do you all live, Death Valley? I just got back from a 10 day trip in mine and when I crank it up and put it on MAX it nearly freezes me out. Spent most of the time with the temp setting in about the middle of the blue zone.

Michael-That's pretty close but mine is a lot smaller in diameter, rather than 7.5" it's about 4". If I'd have seen that one at Walmart when I was looking for something that's probably what I'd have bought. John

Michael-Back in the day when draftsman really did drafting work, they used to have these leather weights to hold down drawings. They are about the size of a small hamburger and are filled probably with metal shot, so they are fairly heavy for their size. Anyway I had one of these and used it to mount the metal disk that came with my garmin to this leather weight. Then in turn mounted the suction cup for the garmin holder to that disk. I also have it located just in front of the shifter and the reception is very good. We have no sun roof but it works anyway. With an outlet right there, you can wrap up the wires and shove them in that opening under the a/c controls. Looks pretty good and what I really like is it's out of the way and out of site. John

Well, it finally arrived yesterday, 11 weeks from the original order. I'd complain but it looks so nice that I just can't. The Ice Blue and the camel leather interior is a great combination. Got the 18" painted aluminum wheels and it came with the Michelin tires so it rides very smooth.

Just got a copy of my window sticker, car has just been built and not shipped as of yet. But I ordered the 18" premium painted aluminum wheels and was suppose to pay extra for them. After receiving the window sticker and then talking to my salesman, they aren't charging for those wheels any more. But then I don't have the vehicle yet and wouldn't be surprised if they aren't on it, with the way my luck has been going. Ordered the Edge the first week of April and it's suppose to be delivered the week of the 23rd of June. Let see is that 6 or 8 weeks as usual, no it's almost 12 weeks.

Good luck, wingburner, I ordered the same only SEL on the 5th of April and it's not expected until mid June. Hope you have better luck than I did with the ordering process. John

djust-I guess since you traded down in wheel size it didn't cost you anything. The dealership I'm working with told me that they were not charging for the 18" painted aluminum wheels any longer. Do you know if this is true? John

Finally got a vin number from the dealer on 16 May. Found out the vehicle order date was 05/06/08. That's amost a month since it was originated at the dealership. Some problem involving one of the codes (110A vs 110B). Have no idea what that means. Been told by the dealership that the delay was on the Detroit end. :angry:

I won't be listening to it because I didn't get one, that is if mine ever comes in. It just wouldn't be worth the cost to me and as you have said it's not all that some say it's cracked up to be. Is the quality the same for XM and Sirus?

I call or stop in and talk to the salesman at least once a week. He and I have gotten to be friends..... There must be a problem in Detroit, because he and his sales manager keep trying to get information on this order.

Talked to the salesman last week and he said $2400 in rebate, $1000 conquest and they are not charging for the 18" painted aluminum wheels any longer. Hope he's not feeding me a line. John

I guess the only question I have is it worth paying $12-$13 per month for this feature. Seems like a lot of money unless your in the vehicle and using it 8 hours a day. That's just my perspective. John

Well it's five weeks now and still the order has not been processed. Dealer said there was a mixup on one of the codes when the vehicle was originally ordered, something about 110A and should have been a 110B, whatever that means. Also can't understand why it took five weeks to find out there was a problem, sounds like someone dropped the ball. So here I sit and wait until I hear something. FORD YOUR NOT STARTING OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT..........

Ordered a new SEL three weeks ago and time sure is going by slowly. Got the Ice Blue with Camel leather. I read on one of the other forums where someone said the Ice Blue is an old persons color so I guess I qualify. Went through the order process because I really didn't want all the fancy horns and whistles that the dealer seems to pack into their selections on the lots. All I wanted was leather, 18" painted aluminum wheels and the towing package. Everything else was already on the SEL model. John
