I have a 2008 Edge with the factory tow package. There is a female plug for a four wire flat plug in for trailer lights located to the left of the hitch receiver. It is behind the plastic bumper cover and is higher than the receiver and faces down towards the ground. It has a cover that you can pop off to insert the male four wire trailer light plug. I have not towed my utility trailer yet as the manual says to wait until you have 1000 miles to tow anything. I am between 800 and 900 miles at this point.

MKX will get it in 2009 or 2010, Edge won't. Edge will get the non turbo version of the direct injection engine. MKX will also get the MKS twin grille in 2010.

The next upgrade will be for SYNC to take photos of what is going on in the car and then use your paired cell phone to e-mail them to everyone on your contacts list. We may all think that all there is in the rear view mirror is a microphone. There could be a tiny camera too. Big Brother Blue Oval is watching you so keep it clean! Your friendly trial attorney or insurance company will also be able to download the readings from the black box after a crash to use for/against you in the litigation that will ensue as a result of the crash.

Yep, it is there on everyone's invoice!

Try turning the park assist off on the DIC then back on to see if that will re-set it. Have no idea if that will work but is worth a try.

Either color will look great. One item to consider is the fact that the white sand will be much more expensive to repair and very difficult to match should you need any future paint work. The creme brulee looks like plain basic paint without all the extra stuff in it that the white sand has. I had a friend with the white diamond Escalade that had to have some paint work done. It cost a fortune and they never could get it matched right when looking at it in the sunlight. The new deep and color changing paints look really nice but are nasty to match. Get some weathertech floor liners and a cargo mat to catch all that sand!

My dealer once did a wheel swap for me. My wife wanted a Chrysler Town & Country van in gold as well equipped as possible. The limited model did not come in gold, so we loaded up an LX with as much as we could. But, the LX came with silver wheels instead of gold on the Limited and my wife liked the gold wheels. At the same time, the dealer had another buyer that wanted a red limited but did not like the gold limited wheels. Both vans came in on the same truck and the dealer swapped the wheels/tires in about 20 minutes and then had two very happy customers. I got matching gold wheels that we never saw on another LX and the other customer got a red limited with the silver wheels they wanted. I would bet the dealer would be happy to exchange the chrome clad wheels from your limited Edge with the 18" SEL wheels you want. I would not count on a credit as there really is not that much price difference between the 18" chrome clad wheel and the 18" regular wheel. Good luck and fight to get what you really want!!!

When we ordered our 2008 Limited I found that the Limited was actually less than the SEL that had less equipment. Check your numbers closely.

They changed the camel interior for 2008. 2007 was all camel. There were significant glare issues with the dash, so they changed to the camel seats and door inserts with black dash, etc. I did not think I would like the 2008 but once we got it, we liked it very much. No glare issues at all. Good luck!

Our Kansas plate is pretty simple: 1 Very easy to remember.

I wasn't sure about the black dash with camel interior until we got it. There is no dash glare on the windshield as there was on the 2007 with the camel dash. The black dash accent carries over to the doors and rear quarter panels/tailgate areas as well. The 2007's had sort of a gray accent on the doors, dash, and console that does not. IMO, look as good as the black does. The black weathertech mats and cargo liner match perfectly whereas the tan mats and liner did not match the camel interior. However, reasonable minds can and will differ, and I respect other's opinions that may differ with mine.

But, the real question is, when you turn your Edge on, does it return the favor? We know from advertising that the 2008 Cadillac CTS does!

Tried to go to your link but it won't come up. Will sign up my 2008 Edge Limited we just got on 11/29/07.

After watching that moving video, I will never call the Patriots cheaters again! I just feel SO BAD about it. Poor Bill. Now I have nothing left but to throw myself under a truck since I am a KC Chiefs fan!!!!

I sure hope they don't! They are cheaters.

Hey! At least no one can say the Dolphins are cheating their way to a no win season. The Patriots cannot hold their heads so high as the Dolphins.

Have you seen the 2008 Edge brochure? There is a nice pic in it of that color/wheel combo. Go to the online brochure at the Ford web site.

You might check out the Tire Rack web site as they have a computer that tells what wheels will fit virtually any car ot truck.

Ours was ordered October 11 and was delivered November 29th.

But wait! Which tits are you talking about? Are they in their 20's, round & firm like melons? Are they in their 30's & 40's, starting to slip a little and looking like pears? Or are they in their 50's or later, when they are like onions and just looking at them makes you cry? :wacko:

My wife's 2008 Edge Limited came in last week. She loves it and I like it too. She got Creme Brulee with camel leather and did not want the BAMR because she did not like a black glass roof on a creme colored car. I wanted the roof but since it was not my car, she won. She came out of a GMC Envoy that she loved, but the Edge is a big hit so far with her. She only has 200 miles on it and is still figuring out all the systems and how to operate them. She gets looks and positive comments where ever she goes with the Edge.

You will pay $595 for the acquisition fee up front and then there is usually a $250 purchase fee at the end if you buy the Edge. Weigh that against the interest rate savings for the first 3 years if your lease interest rate is less than the 4.9%. My lease interest rate was 2%. We don't plan on buying at the end of the lease. If your long range plan is to buy it any way, I would probably go ahead and buy it now. I asume that you get the same rebates for a purchase as a lease? It all boils down to doing the math. Rarely is a lease then purchase cheaper than a sale up front, but there are exceptions. Good luck.

Too expensive, too many interrelated components, have to add too many things to make it work. Ain't gonna happen IMO. Sorry.

Not everyone is in tune with how things work. I had a good buddy in high school who bought his first car (used) for college. About a semester and a half later, he was driving to school when the engine locked up on him. It seems as if he had run the car out of oil. He did not realize that his car had oil or that he should check it. He had never opened the hood of his car. All he ever did was put gas in it because that is all he thought had to be done. He got mad at me when I was incredulous towards him when he told me what had happened. Yes, this is a true story. No one should ever look at a question someone here asks as being unbelievable or a set up, unless it comes from one or two posters who shall remain nameless. :tequila:

I like the hood ornament on the MKX concept in the picture.
