  1. we have had our edge (2007 awd se) for 2.5 years. It has not given us one problem. it has hauled me and my familly from Ohio to NY, VT, FL, and surrounding areas. I have only had to perform routine maintenance (oil changes, wiper blades, etc). I recently replaced the tires with some Michelins and they have done well so far. We will see when the snow really flies. We have been thinking about a bigger suv since the familly has grown, but i just can't part with the Edge since it has been the best (as far as no issues, and minimal maintenance fees) vehicle i have ever owned.
  2. if you still have it i would be interested.
  3. Hubcentric adapters are typically made for aftermarket wheels. A good wheel/tire place will have an assortment of them and should be able to hook you up with a set. As far as finding what the inner bore is you will need to research a possible ford flex forum. It is easy as measuring the diameter of the center bore of the wheel. If it is smaller than your vehicle it can simply be milled/grinded to the correct size. I have never done it, but have seen many an import owner do this to get wheels to fit and they have never had a wheel fly off.

    Nice subwoofer install
  5. Almost 60k after a trip to and from NY. The edge handles NY and Long island traffic well. hmm maybee i will just upgrade the software and make this my fun car...lol
  6. No one makes a turbo kit for the Edge that I am aware of. You would have to find a shop willing to install a custom turbo set up. Plus the shop would also need to ability to tune the vehicle for the new amounts of air and fuel the engine would need to run properly. There are shops out there that can do this sort of work. But it will cost allot of money. You might be better off selling the Edge and getting a Porsche Cayenne turbo, or BMW X5 4.6 or M class amg if you want a fast SUV, It will be cheaper in the long run..
  7. That looks great, but after reading about them not coming apart after backing there goes my idea...
  8. Check out The Tire rack. they have specific wheels to fit every make and model and provide excellent support and service. Just remember a cheap set of wheels is a cheap set of wheels!
  9. how much for the wheels and tires?
  10. once again thansk for the welcome. I do really like this vehicle, and my wife reminds me everyday that i know like this CUV!!!!!
  11. please take photo's as this is the sort of upgrade i would like to do in the future

  20. Well my wife and i just had our first child and immediately found out that my 02 Jetta wagon was just not going to work. I originally had a 2005 Mini cooper S that was highly modified. Upon finding out that my wife was pregnant i proceeded to sell the car and pick up a jetta wagon. I am a VW guy at heart but just what was VW thinking making a station wagon that could not haul more that 2 people (ever). After 1 week of hauling my wife, my son, and myself around we had enough and the vw had to go. After a test drive in a used 08 Edge i was hooked and so was she. I looked at 3 different edges at 3 different dealers. First one was an SEL AWD in red. it was very nice and clean but came with no extended warranty, and needed new tires. After 2 hours of wheeling and dealer i walked out over a set of tires. the 2nd dealer was another AWD SEL in gray. It was very nice and we talked but it was not certified or had to EXT warranty. The last dealer was ready to deal and had an 07 with 52k miles and it was certified. They included a 6/100k bumper to bumper warranty and met my price on the edge and my trade. it also came with brand new good year tires. wooo hooo. So we drove the edge home yesterday and i detailed it this morning in the garage. Specs on the 07 52 k miles Grey exterior Tan interior Sirrius AWD class 2 hitch Low options is how i like em Pictures: gratuitous shot of the dog: And my son: I have been anti suv/cuv for years, but now i am an EDGE lover. This cuv handles better than my my old jetta wagon. Future modifications: Wife: tinted front windows, 18" or 20" factory chrome wheels Me: Steeda intake, Steeda SCT programmer, h&r springs, Edge sport headlamps and tail lamps (or i might mod a set myself)... Thank you FORD
