Thanks Nick!

If you own a second gen. Edge and have lowered it I have a few questions for you: 1) What model year do you own? 2) What kit did you use, and who did you get it from? 3) How much cost was involved for all of the items needed to lower it? (don’t include new tires and wheels if replaced) 4) How much did your work drop the vehicle? 5) How does it drive? 6) How are the tires wearing after the drop? 7) Any alignment issues? 8)Are you happy with the end result and would you use the same “kit” if you were to do it again? Any other thoughts?

For all you do and have done...

I'll throw in my .2 worth and just suggest a Battery Tender. Because of my infrequent use of my 2016 Ti I had encountered low voltage conditions several times early in my ownership experience. In the first instance Ford replaced the battery. Maybe it was bad, maybe not, I can't say. I do know the issue returned again several months later and I just started keeping the vehicle plugged into a Battery Tender and have never had another problem. I just think this vehicle does too much thinking after it is turned off and become an insomniac gobbling up voltage like a wino thirsting after that last drop of Mad Dog. The Battery Tender is a smart float charger and it doesn't do anything more than keep your battery voltage topped off. (at least that is all mine does) I used them for years on motorcycles, boats and cars and it has always worked well and are priced right (read cheap). The only draw back is that you have to remember it is plugged in. They come with quick connects so they are a breeze to use! Good luck with whatever you use.

Times call for this one to be bumped up again! Enjoy this.

FYI:

IMHO you have to price items if you want to sell them. What do you want for each item and where are you located?

Good tip!

Consider this thread as a “Heads Up”! As a rule I am pretty good at keeping up with the changing seasons and their effects on tire pressures. Well I thought so until I finally got around to checking my (out of sight and out of mind) spare tire. I am embarrassed to confess that I found only 20 PSI in it when I checked it. It should be no more than 60 PSI so I guess I could say that it was that. In any case if you have one, you might want to see how much air is in it and is it serviceable.

An interesting and telling overview on how Ford blew the launch of the new Explorer. Let's hope they learned from it.

Thanks Omar!

Link does not work

You should be using the parking brake, but it should not be moving as much as you have indicated. Something is not right.

As a 2016 3.5 owner I would love to know how long it has been "general knowledge" that frequent (more frequent than the Ford recommendations) antifreeze and perhaps oil changes extend the life of the water pump in these engines since they were first introduced? I don't doubt this suggestion, I just wonder how many lucky souls have stumbled blindly into high mileage old age vehicles with water pumps that have not failed and yet did nothing special to get there?

Have you folks seen this? https://ford.oemdtc.com/4770/2-0l-ecoboost-rattle-noise-and-cracked-flexplate-2015-2018-ford-edge

Which engine are we talking about here?

Check around the inner surfaces of the wheel wells. There is a history of the the clips holding the wheel well liners failing and allowing that material to "flop" while the vehicle is at speed.

I am at a loss as to why this color looks so different, but here are images from a dealers website that shows the Escape in the Persian Green and the Edge in both new colors. https://www.sheehyfordashland.com/new/Ford/2020-Ford-Escape-ashland-va-ad6f08b30a0e0ae876bc0d6b3312a2bc.htm?searchDepth=3:303 https://www.sheehyfordashland.com/new/Ford/2020-Ford-Edge-ashland-va-9df760690a0e0ae7498f7e8956307c44.htm?searchDepth=14:394 https://www.sheehyfordashland.com/new/Ford/2020-Ford-Edge-ashland-va-4bcf5fd90a0e0a6b7aa5a45b551435ed.htm?searchDepth=21:394

2020 Dark Persian Green.

Deleted...

Sure, maybe someone will take a couple pictures of these new colors on the 2020 Edge and post them here.

You are right the color photographs as blue, and on certain angles it does as well, but in full sun it turns a teal green. My "Too good to be blue" next to a Persian Green Escape. I do want to see an Edge in this color. I like it!

Indeed you can!

I just hope this movie does it justice!
