My Grandfather would be proud

My grandfather started the third Washington State Ford dealership. Of course it is no longer in the family and he is long gone! Over the years all of his heir drifted to other brands. With the help of my wife, we have reversed the trend.

 

Last week we bought a 2007 SE+ while we were in Virgina. The first stop for the car was to a shop that installs "tow bars" that make it possible to drag it behind a motorhome. Our last car, a Subaru Forester, logged 60,000 miles as a trailer and an additonal 60,000 being driven. The Edge will have the same challenge. This week we are pulling it "home" to Washington State.

 

Why and Edge:

1. Towable "four down". (See "Recreational Towing" in the owner's manual)

2. Automatic transmission (Not common in cars that can be towed behind a motorhome)

3. Roomy back seat

4. AWD

5. Not too ugly

6 Not too flashy

 

So far the car has 400 miles on it and an additional 600 miles as a trailer!
