SEL vs Limited and roof side rails

[dcac410]

Hi everyone I'm about to purchase a Ford Edge and need some last minute advice. What is really the difference between the SEL and Limited except for the driver entry package? Seems like you can pretty much have everything else except the Sony radio. I'm still up in the air over the SEL AWD or Limited AWD and it comes down to that driver entry package.

 

If you get the roof rack side rails can you later down the road add on the bars, bike attachment, and so forth?

 

Anyone like the Brown color? I unfortunately I'm overseas and can't truly see it, but really think it will look good.

 

 

Thanks can't wait to come back and drive it!

Hi:

 

Not sure if US is different, but in Canada the Driver Entry Package is optional on both SEL and the Limited. I am assuming your question is not what the differences in standard equipment are, but what isn't available even as an option on the SEL. No guarantee of perfect accuracy here, but I think the items you can only get in the Limited are the memory seats, Sony radio, backup camera, garage door opener and also access to a number of options (e.g. 20" wheels, adaptive cruise, HID headlights, etc.). The trim is different on the Limited too (black interior console, wood trim on dash etc.). We went with the Limited because of the memory seats and the backup camera which were important to us. My wife and I couldn't have more different driving positions, and the rear window view isn't the greatest IMHO.

 

Yes you can add the accessories to the roof rails later.

 

We ordered the Earth metallic - yes we like it! Colour is a personal choice, of course.

 

Looking forward to getting it. Hope that helps you.

Go to the Ford website and click on Models, select SEL and Limited and do a compare. It shows you everything that's standard, optional or not available on each one.

I was debating on the two as well but we ended up going with the SEL and added options because it was less expensive. Not a fan of the Earth Metallic...I prefer white (purchased the White Platinum w/Black leather interior)
