I still have a hard time believing there would are ANY gas mileage gains with a K&N filter. You can read about power and mileage gains online all day, but it sure seems like anecdotal evidence to me. It seems that if these claims were indeed possible for a mere $50 that car manufacturers would include them from the factory. Why would ford not want to improve vehicle efficiency and help meet CAFE requirements for a minimal investment? Of course this is just my opinion, and I certainly have no problems with anyone who thinks otherwise.

It gets worse. I have had mine since October and the paint on every single wheel has already began to peel. I don't think the wheels look that bad, but it is pretty ridiculous to have chrome clad wheels on such an expensive vehicle.

Super easy. I have done it twice with no ramps. When it comes to changing the oil, Its one of the easier vehicles I have ever had deal with.

Hi everyone, just got an 08 edge this week and needed to know if my nav unit is hard drive or not to order coastal electronics lockpick. I'm guessing 08 were not hard drive but I couldn't find the info using the search button.
Tks for the help

As far as I know, the 2009 models were the first to use the Hard drive based navigation. As easy way to tell if if your Navigation System has the repeat button, its DVD based. If it has the phone button, its the newer unit with the Hard drive.

Great information. I was offered the Ford Edge Limited AWD for a "on the road price" of $36,999. Of course I can't take delivery until May since I'm deployed, but would put a deposit on a ordered vehicle in February-March time frame.
Does a on the road price include taxes, tags, and freight? Dealer said yes, but I always like to hear it from someone else as well.
Thanks
Are you a member of USAA? More often than not, their pricing is lower than X-Plan and requires no negotiation as well.

Thanks for the heads up. I just downloaded the Android version. While the reviews of the app don't leave me to optimistic, at least it appears to be a step in the right direction.

i have 2010 limited edge with no navigation system
i wanna know how much gana caost me to buy a new navigation ?
and can i install rearview camera on it
or it come's include the navigation system when i buy it?
There is quite a few topics on this already if you do a search. The short answer is while its possible, its not easy, nor cheap. When I had a 2010, I added an OEM nav unit that i purchased off Ebay for $1000. You will also need an OEM amp and to switch out the steering wheel controls and rewire the microphone to sync to maintain all functionality.

I got my 6yr/100k premium care with $100 deductible online from Flood Ford for $910. It was pretty much half the price that I was offered at the local dealership that I purchased my Edge at.

Remote Start is an available option part of the drivers entry package which also includes push button start, power lift gate, perimeter alarm and the intelligent access. I believe the option is only available on the Limited and Sport models

With the exception of the calendar thinking its 2030, mine has worked flawlessly for the 6 weeks I have owned my edge. However, I am under no delusions, and I am certain its just a matter of time before I am victimized by MFT.

A little over a month ago I upgraded my 2010 Limited to 2011 version. After putting on about 2000 miles on the new one I am averaging about 21 MPG doing a 50/50 driving mix. On my 2010, i was lucky to average 19 MPG. I expected a little better gas mileage, but did not think it would be this significant. Is everyone else having similar results?
-
The cargo area has identical dimensions on both models. I took my OEM liner from my 2010 and put it my 2011, and it fit perfectly. I see no reason why the weather tech deigned for the 2007-2010 models would not do the same.

It shows up on SyncMyRide, but it appears that you have to go to the dealer for the update. The disclaimer that a "dealer service fee may apply" kind of surprises me.
BT4T-14D544-BD Version SYNC GEN 2
+ Dealer Install (Requires a visit to your local dealership. Dealer service fee may apply.)

I personally would cancel it all. Although I am not sure that the Ford ESP is a bad thing to have, I am certain you can get a much better deal online. Any new ford dealer can sell ESP, and many will sell it very close to cost. I picked my 6yr/100K ESP for $910 at Flood Ford, but there are several other dealers offering similar prices.

I think the OEM all weather floor mats are pretty decent quality. I kept the set out of my 2010 when I traded it thinking they fit my new edge. Unfortunately my plan did not work and I had to order the new set for the 2011. One good thing is that the newer set seems to have a slightly better design and feel to them. Well worth the $70 I paid for them in my opinion.

This is the first vehicle I've ever owned with a trailer hitch receiver. The owners manual dosen't say what size it is. Does anyone know what the trrailer hitch receiver size is on an Edge/MKX? Is it 1-1/4" or 2"? I want to get a hitch cover but don't know what size to order.
The 2011 have a 2 inch hitch. I believe all 2010 and prior years with the OEM hitch have the 1 1/4.

Was wondering if anyone knows if the Cargo Security Shade can be added later or if it is a factory installed item? Thanks!
Its a OEM accessory so it can be purchased sereratly for about $100, but in my opion its not worth the money. There are a couple of threads on this already, and you will find that most people agree the the cargo shade is poorly engineered.

My 2011 Limited with 18 inch wheels does have it.

Was about to order the WeatherTech for my new 2011 Edge, had the mat for the 2010 in my cart at Amazon and was about to order when I decided I had better do some research.
Right now WeatherTech does not show a mat for the 2011. I sent an e-mail to them asking when the mat will be available for the 2011. Ford also shows a different mat for 2011 so there must be something different.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the 2010 and 2011 in regards to the cargo area?
I have not been able to compare the 2 mats but from what I can gather in my reading the WeatherTech has generally been regarded as superior to the Ford mat.
I am not sure about the WeatherTech, but I took my OEM cargo mat from my 2010 when I traded it in and it fit perfectly. If something has changed, its not the dimensions.

Has anyone noticed that the $1000 off has disappeared from the website? It was there a few days ago but now it looks like just $500 bonus cash in the DC area at least
They are still offering the additional $1000 bonus cash. You can also get an additional $750 rebate by ordering an Edge brochure from the Ford website. You can combine it with all public offers and I was even able to combine it with X plan. I am picking up my 2011 tomorrow, and i was able to get X plan - $2250 in rebates.

I recently purchased an OEM Navigation system for my 2010 Ford Edge limited. Due to some unforeseen financial obligations, I am going to probably have to sell.
Kit includes:
2009-2010 OEM Hard drive based Navigation programmed for a Ford Edge. All speakers, subwoofer, sync, satellite radio, Sirius travel link, usb, and jukebox work correctly.
Ford OEM amplifier and harness.
Antenna extender and splitter used to use OEM antenna for both Sirius and GPS
Replacement Steering wheel controls
If you have a 2009-2010 Ford edge, everything for the most part is plug and play. I was able to easily get everything working with the exception of the phone and sync button on the steering wheel controls. I am able to pair and phone and it is fully functional, but I have to access though the Navigation touch screen. I have directions to correct this issue by rerouting 2 wires to the sync module underneath the center console.
If anyone is interested please let me know. If not I guess I will sell on EBay. I am trying to sell for $2000 shipped. Everything is in like new condition.
