bbf...You already changed you mind on this topic 2 or 3 times so lets just call it a truce OK. Give it a try and let me know what you all think. And thank you for all your post from the owners guide. However this forum is also about real world owners sharing there thoughts and experience. I am not right and you are not wrong because of what you believe. Its my opinion that the car feels more responsive with O/D off. If you don't agree then don't do it. No big deal, your owners guide does not change the way I feel about my car. So you need to give the owners guide a rest. If someone ask me what "I" think about something I will continue to give my honest OPINION about that topic IF I have real world owner experience and input that may or may not be helpful. If someone does ask me what page 325, paragraph 2, section 3 of the 2007 Ford Edge owners guide says... well I promise to send them your way. Otherwise lighten up buddy. And since my health care provider no longer covers therapy due Internet forums I'm going to have to call it quites on this one... Oh and :beerchug:
