  3. So was pokoing through summits catalog online and saw this system it says it fits AWD models, but from what i`ve read here earlier they don`t fit AWDs? does anybody know for sure? thanks
  4. can`t say i have towed anything yet with our edge, it has the tow package, BUT a great feature that it has is an O/D lock out, i have used it and by turning the overdrive off and applying the brake the trans downshifts, and according to how hard you depress the pedal it will downshift even further helping to slow the vehicle, it is an excelent working device and i could see it being very beneficial when pulling a trailer! I WISH my pickup acted in this maner when towing!
  5. so first three tanks done, 1st tank i calculated 19.3 mpg, second 22.9 mpg, and third at 20.3 mpg, *(note all readings are based on imperial gallons)* first tank was all city, second and third was all hiway, think what you may, i`m happy considering the 01 taurus we traded in got 20 mpg if i babied it on the hiway and let everybody wave (or finger) and pass us, considering it had an 3.0l V6 and this is a 3.6l, and the obvious extra weight of the edge, its better, and myself and the wife love it, it fits us and our uses perfect!
  6. so we got 550km or about 343mi on the first tank, my wife filled and didn`t keep the receipt so i dunno how much went in tank, but it says its a 72litre tank, so *calculating* um 18.1 MPG *IMPERIAL* (calculated at full 72l which it probly didn`t take) so we might be 19 or 20 on first tank cause there was probly some gas left, we`ll see though after a few tanks, which might take a month, doesn`t get alot of driving(:
  7. Welcome to the forum! hope to see those pics!
  8. aHH I SEE :yup: SO 17.5MPG city and 25.8 MPG hyway, never crossed my mind on the us to imperial thing...
  9. Is this what everybody else`s looke like? minus maybe the canada part i guess....same mileage posting?
  10. Yup got an AWD limited, its got everything on it, going to get some chrome stuff for it like bug deflector, ventshades, all in time though... i really liked the black edge but the wifes had a black car for 8 years so she wanted a change, the vapour silver is awsome, doesn`t show much dust on it!
  11. Welcome to the forum, admit i`m kinda new too, but i with you on the gm to ford conversion, was eying an acadia and was just waiting for 0% financing and it never happened, so my wife made me look at the edge, one drive and i was sold, plus the limited we got, cost as much as the entry level AWD we were looking at anyways!!! been very happy, had it two weeks now and lovin it!! Jeez i didn`t know jeeps financing was so high!! thats why there prices are so much lower! oh-well, its just a jeep. what colour did you get? got pics?
  12. I would love to here a sound clip if you get it done!, i have an AWD model and haven`t found any "kits" available, We`ve only had our edge a week so havn`t looked under it to see what can be done. *And i agree about the sounds of the 4 and 6 bangers, sounds rediculous, V8 rumble is like a shot of adrealine, if done right!* I would do it for the fuel economy, havn`t finished our first tank so can`t scratch any numbers yet, power gain would be alright, i think these little units go pretty good anyways, maybe one day i take it for a rip with the accelerometer and post some numbers! haha
  13. i think i`m gonna get it i like to be unique, i also like how it also has inserts for the upper and lower part of the bumper, besides i strangley think the factory grille is an eysoar, call me weird i guess, evrybody else i know likes it...
  14. well its at the dealer anyways will have to get insurance starting next week, it showed up at 5 pm, got to see it anyways

  16. I refer to it as to "soove" (SUV) or the "edge" , my pickup is "the truck"
  17. we wanted to get the 20 inch chromers changed/swapped on the lot but the dealer wouldn`t *give* anything for a deal, i said these are a 800 dollar option i want the grey ones and *some* of that money back, nope they would swap them for free, no deal, so i have hugh freaking chrome wheels, if anybody comes up to me and wants to swap i may consider it. they grey ones look better, dunno why, more sporty or aggressive or something! (: ohhh well. chromes might go good with the chrome billit grille i`m gonna order up!
  18. the route were going is puting money down and going 0%APR for 60 mo, finacing through ford credit. the 42, 900 is final after all the dumb fees (which they are grouping together nowadays, calling it registration fees, was 400 bucks), and 20 bucks tire tax. I just read line for line everyones experiences and as i understand i`m doing alright, i`m happy with it, our montly cost is 560mo, and i`ll own it in 60mo, so i`m breathing a little easier, its good to learn that the dealer make money from the "holdback" cause otherwise i can`t understand how they stay in business, everybody needs to make a buck right? waiting, should only be a couple more days!! getting exited.
  19. Sounds like i shoulda made a trip to the US! but our sticker was $45 913, got if for $42,900, plus the salesman is buying our 01 taurus for $1000 (its worth $500) hehe. *( Does anybody think i coulda got more outta the salesman? I SURE DO! deal isn`t signed as of yet, waiting for vehicle to come in, Supposedley he gave the deal my father inlaw gets *500 over invoice*( He buys dozens of vehicles from saleman for his company) but i`ve been doing the numbers, thers no way this can be right, that would mean even if they sold it at MSRP they are making 7%, that does not seem like much!! especially since everybody dickers on the price some, so they`d be making even less!?) at 7% they cannot afford to be in business!! just my 2 cents)* 08 Limited AWD vapour silver 20 inch chrome wheels, NAV/DVD, 6mo Sirius, Rear DVD, Class 2 trailer tow package a couple other little things, oh, an some mudflaps.
  20. thanks, thats what i figured, i guess i`ll stick to bolt ons :yup:
  21. will the SCT void warranty? and is it a simple programmer with like 3 settings, or is it a soit yourselfer?...yeah i found a cool billet grille kit that does the bumper too, its sweet
