Thanks for the VIN research Wubster100. So, if the vehicle doesn't have a factory tow package, and the only driver is a former dealer employee, I'd like to assume that it's likely that this vehicle hasn't been used for towing, but who knows, I know. Thanks again everybody.

When I read all of the above, ...I feel like I would be driving a spaceship LOL. Thanks a lot Wubster100 (seriously). But my son doesn't understand why I want "that" car.

The 2019 I'm looking to buy has the cupholder insert but doesn't have the hood insulator blanket. I found that VERY cheapy from Ford. If the deal come through I'll have to order a blanket for the hood and maybe also for the engine, doesn't have any either. Do you know if the hood insulator blanket can be ordered from somewhere? I don't like to see all those wires and connexions sposed on the engine. Maybe I got spoiled with my 2011 SEL, most wires and connexions are covered.

Hi Will2U, could you please mind to post a couple of pictures showing the location where the factory holes were drilled? TIA

Also, on a slightly different but related subject: this vehicle is an AWD. It also has the Traction Control System or TCS button to be turned on or off (please see picture). Now, my 2011 SEL is a FWD only and it also has the TCS feacture, which I understand it helps in the drivability of the FWD on slippery roads. My questions related to the 2019 Titanium are: - Does the TCS button turns on and off the AWD in the 2019 Titanium? - If not, what does the TCS do in an AWD vehicle, how does the TCS help in the AWD vehicle? I know this question has nothing to do with my decision to purchase the vehicle or not, I'm just curious. TIA

Wubster100, thanks for your instructions and help. I've been playing around with the cluster and I can't find the way to the Message Center. In my 2011 Edge is very easy to find, straight down, but not in this one. EDIT: I also red the manual from page 103 (Information Display Control Type 2) all the way to page 123 paying attention to page 114 (Electronic Stability Control) and couldn't find where the lowing package info could be. (END OF EDIT) I'm going to PM you the VIN but please let me know anyway the path to find/get to the Messenge Center. I took different pictures of the cluster panel menus, if you see under which menu it should be please let me know. Thanks Wubster100 and everyone.

Thanks a lot Wubster100 and everyone for your explanation, clarification and suggestions. I'll definitively ask for everything suggested. They did tell me that they'll do everything the car needs before handle it to me, but it's very good for me to know what needs to be done, thanks again. They didn't provide the service report today because the service dept wasn't opened. They told they'll give it to me on Monday. I kept the car for the weekend after paying a refundable bounty Lol. I checked the cluster and I want to share a few screenshots with you. In one of the it's showing "Automatic System Update"option deselected. I wonder if the vehicle may have the capability to receive updates OTA? Also I'll share some pictures of its rear end showing the towing hitch and the exhaust tips. I can see a double lip in the exhaust tips as if they put a chrome shirt on top of the exhaust tip. My 2011 has just the chrome tips, it's a cleaner appearance in my opinion. I still don't know if the towing hitch is aftermarket or original (see picture at the bottom), I have to keep working on that. Thanks a lot for all your great help.

Hi folks: I took the 2019 Titanium for a test drive this evening. From what I can test it's running ok. I drove it a low speed (just below 60 Km/h) and I couldn't notice hesitation. I did notice a little bit of tremor when driving at around 30 km/h, but... hard for me to say if that's normal or not. It was not a good day to test it at high speed, it was a snowy day and the road was very wet. I just did a brief take off on a green light and... it was good, very good lol. I found the side sensors a little bit annoying because when the road snow stick to them they beep and the sales rep told me they can't be silenced, bummer. The sales rep didn't know if the tow hitch was after market or not lol. He pulled the window sticker and the trailer towing package is not listed there. I asked him for the service report, they didn't want to provide it to me because it has personal info but the sales manager read it over for me. I then asked him to print it out and black out the personla info. He told he'll do so. Meanwhile folks, I stlll need youjr help getting into the "fine prints": - if the reprogramming of the transmition hasn't been done, questions: - how do I make them to do it? - does anyone know how much it costs for them to do it? - is that something that happenes to all Edge 8F35, to most Edge 8F35, to some Edge 8F35? - does is get worse if not corrected? Not sure if I'm asking the correct questions. Basically, what resources do I have to make them reprogram the transmition? And this is probably the only discrepancy I have with Ford, they barely do recalls, even knowing that they have a problem Huston lol. Thanks in advance once again for all your help. PS: STBEAST, if that's yours, nice ST beast! lol

Oh, good to know (I didn't). I'm going to ask the dealer as I know nothing about that. So, from your comments Wubster100 I can assume that if there's no wiring then it hasn't been used for towing. Thanks again Wubster100, I do appreciate yours and everyone's comments.

Thanks for the detailed pictures Wubster100, and very nice car color, congrats! I'll definitely have to ask the dealer what's going on with that anachronic bumper on the 2021 SEL they're selling lol. ThIs one also has a tow hitch, probably aftermarket as well, which concerns me a little bit as a used car because I've read that towing could be hard on the engine/transmition. Let's see. Thanks everyone.

Aha..., that's why it looks weird, because that bumper shouldn't be the one lol. OK, I'm going to ask them for a service report on that vehicle, thanks dabangsta, that bumper has four sensors for the reverse parking. BTW, the one shown in your picture looks like the passenger side is a little disengaged, or at least misaligned. Maybe those rear bumpers are problematic?..

Folks, first of all thanks again for all your input, it's really greatly appreciated. Tomorrow (Friday) afternoon I got an appointment to test drive the 2019 Edge pictured above. I'm not sure if I understood correctly your comments regarding the 7-8 speed and the reprograming/correction thing. In other words: - how do I know if that "issue" has been already corrected "reprogrammed" in that vehicle? - is there any recommendation on how/what to try to test if the 2nd-3rd gear shifting hasn't been corrected in this vehicle yet? Also, I'm planning to test drive the 2021 SEL on Saturday morning. Although it does have the big screen that everyone likes with the updated SYNC IV, there's something really ticking me off that vehicle: the tail end (no exhaust chrome tips?!). Ugly LOL, like not being original part from that vehicle LOL. The bumper has the shape/mold to accomodate the exhaust tips, but no tips; weird. See picture below. Thanks folks.

LOL, I know what you mean with those nonsensival ads LOL: power steering. Yah, right, try to turn the wheel without power LOL. Thank you dabangsta for the info. Yes, it's an AWD. I could get standard Edge 18 wheels but my understanding is that they cannot be from the 201-14 Edge (what I currently have) because the 2011-14 Edge rim bolt pattern is 5x114.3 mm and I think this model Edge takes 5x108 mm. So, I'll have to buy another set. I'm talking as if I already own that vehicle LOL, I haven't bought it yet! lol. But it's looking good. Let's see if I can get a discount on the price, that's usually the point where everything fells apart... Thanks again dabangsta and others for the info and comments, appreciated.
