Excellent write up! As a brand new Edge Limited owner who was down to deciding between the Edge and the Murano, I think I made the right choice! Very happy so far!

Welcome aboard! A lot of good info, mods, discussion here!

Yep - Every Ford I've owned since the early 90s does that. I like it. With the TomTom I just bought and had hardwired, they wired it directly to the battery. Programmed my TomTom to turn off when it loses power. Cut off the car, battery goes off, TomTom goes off.

Hmmm... Personally, not a big fan of it at all. Not a huge fan of the front end protection things in general, be it truck or otherwise, but this one even more so. Seems to not fit the look of the car. Got any other pics from different angles? With all that said, I'm not a slammer. I appreciate everybody's tastes are different and am a proponent of if it works for you I'm good with that!

Wow... freaky... I have 4424 on my Edge. Averaging 30 mph w/ mix hwy and city and currently avg of 18.9 mpg. You driving my Edge??!? HA!!! I know it has been chatted to death on here but did notice a big difference (almost 2 mpg) between a tank of gas from Wal-Mart, which was 10% Ethanol and the current tank which does not (or at least doesn't advertise) have the Ethanol mix. Right at 17 with the Wally-world E-mix and now back up to about 19 without the E-mix...

Polarized sunglasses here and no issues with glare!

87, 91 and 93 around here. All I've ever ran regularly in vehicles and will continue to run is 87. No noticeable difference the very few times I've filled up with anything other than 87. As Akirby mentioned, why waste the extra $$$ for no gain.

Excellent job! Those look great!

Several models on autoanything.com. which is the model you purchased? anyone else put any on? got a 3 year old, so thinking about it to help her get in (miss independent!) thanks!

I think I'm interested in seeing this as well. I "think" as I'm not entirely sure I know what it is. Does it cover the chrome Edge plate you see when you open the door?!?!? Is it something else? I'm so confused... :wacko: I need more coffee....

Not sure of Lex's link but a quick ebay search gets you this - http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?s...p=32%26fsoo%3D2

Sounds fishy to me. The A-Plan (or any of them) to my knowledge has nothing to do with rates, incentives, when you purchased or anything. It is based on the vehicle (invoice, options, etc). I may be way off base on those thoughts but this is my 3rd Ford using A-plan and that is my impression.

Welcome! Pretty new myself and in love with my Edge! Just got back from a 1200+ mile trip (Carolina to Cleveland over to Lexington and back home). What a great ride!! Best of luck! Watch those drivers - they are everywhere! HA!! Not sure about the Sat service - wondering that myself. Just wanted to say HI!

Makes perfect sense! Thanks so much! Things like this are what make this such an awesome place! Michael

Lex, This is awesome! I'm totally new to Sync so very helpful. One thought/suggestion - would it be possible for you to add column headers to each of the 4 columns describing what that column is? For example, is Column 2 what it is capable of doing or is it buttons that get pushed? Is Column 3 things you say when prompted? Guess what I'm saying is - Does Column 2 prompt Column 3? Or 3 prompt 4? Just a newbie question/thought! Thanks again for the sheet!! Michael

Welcome! This place has some good people and good info. Growing everyday! Keep us posted on your mods!

Sitting in Hotel room in Cleveland, OH. Just arrived after driving up here from South Carolina. 10 hours, a little over 600 miles. The rides on my 20 inch and Pirellis? INCREDIBLE!! I would not have imaged the ride being as nice as it was. Smooth roads, rough roads, rain storm and dry - PERFECT! No complaints here at all! Michael

Just curious if there is anyone around my area on here. I see quite a few Edges riding around. I work in Toccoa, GA, live in Fair Play, SC. Anyone? Michael

Awesome stuff Guys! Bob - Nice Pic! Bob - What is the weight of your camper? Around 2500-2700lbs? May I assume you do not have the transmission/oil coolers installed? How often will you pull the camper and do you foresee any issues (again assuming the above) since the Edge is only rated at 2000 lbs, I think? I'm new here so PLEASE feel free to correct me... Learning as I go! Oh, we have a camper similar to yours and would love to be able to tow it with the Edge. Thanks! Michael

Hi John! Thanks for the feedback. Any chance that might have turned into something like this if you had mass-produced it? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8144086 The area you mention is definitely an area I'm looking at. Having Headrest DVDs installed tomorrow and the guys are going to hardwire the plug for me so no need for the outlet but I still like that location... Thanks again! Michael

Thanks MidLife! Have not heard of the Travel Companion. Will have to look into that. The location you mentioned is the spot I was thinking of. Curious where/how others have done it.... Thanks again! Michael

Hi there! Not a fan of the Nav, well I guess not a fan of the $$$ for the Nav, stock - so didn't get it on my new ride. Love my TomTom and was wondering (and please keep in mind I'm not an engineer nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night... ) if anyone (and it doesn't have to be a TomTom has hard wired their GPS and could describe steps or show some pics? Don't mind it on the dash or on the glass or anywhere for that matter, just don't like the wires and having to use the plug-in cable... want a cleaner look... Thansk!

From a fellow new owner (and very happy one!) - Congrats and Welcome!! Lots of good info here if you haven't surfed around yet. Michael

Sorry the process took so long but GLAD you got it!! I like that color! Very clean looking! Keep us posted on any changes or likes or dislikes as you break it in! Michael

Been lurking here for a month or so after debating on getting a Fusion for a few months. Love the Fusion (ride, style, etc) but with 2 kids, traveling from time to time, felt something a little bigger but similar would be the right way to go. Found it in the Edge! Have always loved the Copper/Burnt Orange color that you see on Muranos, Corvettes, etc and I just so happened to pull into a local dealer and there it was... Beautiful... Sticker price was $34,120.00. With A-Plan and some additonal discounts by the dealer (sitting on his lot for 5 months, wanted to move it) above and beyond the A-Plan price, got it down to $28,100.00. They contacted a local custom stereo shop and saved me $200 by going thru them to get the A/M DVD Headrests installed so that bumped it back up $29,500.00. My wife is VERY frugal and she loved the deal so I signed the dotted line! Not sure what else I should type, just wanted to introduce myself. Have chatted via PM with NYEdge and love some of the stuff he and Lex (SoCal) are doing as well as a lot of the rest of you! I'm here to learn and when/if I get something done - share!
