StrongWind Report post Posted June 1, 2010 I think for at LEAST another 10 or 12 years. We have an 07. Should last a while with proper care and maintenance. My last Ford was a 2001 F150 SuperCrew Lariat 2WD. Drove it for 9 years and 160,000 miles without a major issue. Sold it because I wanted the "newer" bodystyle - I found a great used 2007 F150 SuperCrew Lariat 2WD to replace it. I've been very happy with Ford products. They build a good quality vehicle at a reasonable price. I see no reason to expect "less" from our new 2010 Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Picturepro Report post Posted June 1, 2010 Over the years the ford cars I've owned and had problems and lots of problems Capri, SVT focus, parents had two Taurus, sister had a Taurus and nothing but problems.I think the trucks are a different build quality. I had a 1995 ford bronco without any problems in 130,000 miles. Hopefully the Edge will be trouble free. My family is not a gas and go type, all the service requirements were done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been a good truck so far..only have 30K on it. I agree with you on the Ford Quality. We're selling the wifes 02 Escape and going to a 2011 Edge SEL next Spring. They' ve both been good vehicles (So was mt FIRST FORD: 1969 Fairlane 2DHT w/302 Auto.) I hope I can get the same rsults out of the Edge...looking forward to it.

Paul79UF Report post Posted October 16, 2010 I'm sure it will do better than my GM car. I'll be happy if I don't have to replace the window motors / regulators constantly. I've done the procedure 4 or 5 times on my Grand Prix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marklisa03 Report post Posted February 21, 2011 My 2011 Ford Edge will be replacing my 1992 Ford Aerostar so I'm hoping my new car will last as long as my previous Ford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(hoping to keep her from getting the explorer, hehe) I did the same with the wifes car when we had a break from our lousy winter. The next week we wound up ordering her a new Explorer. At least the dealer got to see the awesome shape her cars in in case we trade it to them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duckman Report post Posted February 25, 2011 You never know how long a car will last. But here's my thought after 46,000 miles on my 2010 Edge Sport. I think the transmission will be the first major system to crap out on my Edge. I can't give a time or mileage, but if it goes 150K I'd be surprised. 46,000 miles in 1.5 years make my transmission a 4.5 year item. That sure seems soon doesn't it? Let's hope not, but it is already doing funky things. (see Transmission forum/thread) Mine does the big "Bump" act now and then too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
