I have a 2011 Edge Limited with BLIS. I am looking for a replacement mirror (just the mirror not the entire rearview mirror assembly). According to Tasca parts, the current part number for just the mirror is listed as CT4Z-17K707-J (With blind spot monitor, with memory, from 2/08/11). Mine was manufactured in May of 2011. I am the original owner. The issue I have is that when I removed the mirror that I want to replace, the part number on the back of it is CT43-17T675-D. This seems very different from the one listed by Tasca parts. Can anyone confirm that the part number listed above is the current replacement part for the one shown on the back of my original mirror. Or, if it isn't, provide me with the proper, current, replacement part number. Thanks! re5513

Looking for a locale to purchase a shop manual for a 2011 ford edge. Is there a defacto publisher that puts this out? I'd prefer paper to electronic. Thanks, re5513

When you say the body panels are not consistent, what do you mean specifically?

What do you think will be the towing capacity with the ecoboost engine?

I agree that the illuminated sill plates are a nice touch. I wish that ford had included these as standard. I first saw them on a 2010 Ford Mustang that I rented which had only 6 miles on it. That was a fun car to have for a week. Anyway, i was wondering if anyone had seen any aftermarket illuminated sill plates where you could get custom lettering. I'm thinking it'd be cool to put your last name on the illuminated sill plate.

Does anyone know of the Amsoil equivalent part number?

I agree. In my opinion the Sony branded system (of the 2011 limited) sounds somewhat better than the stock system in the SEL. I believe in the LTD version of the 2011 Edge you also have a subwoofer that is not provided in the SEL model.

Keep in mind that you could see an increase in as much as 25 pounds of unsprung weight per corner by upgrading to 20" rims from 18" rims. This has been reported to affect handling and ride by some.

The audio system in the limited (Sony) is an upgrade that I believe is not available as an option on the SEL.

Thanks. That is very helpful to know. I find it interesting that the remote start option (in the 302A package) is not highlighted very well. I had to dive into the details to realize that it is included as part of the package. It seems to me that the 302A package overall is a good deal (I believe rain sensing wipers are also included in the 302A, no?)

My local dealer offered the same. That is, incentives available at time of "ordering" are honored upon pickup even if you order a vehicle (and do not purchase from dealer inventory). Also will honor any additional incentives in place at time of pickup. Pretty good deal I think.

I concur. The Edge is primarily a front wheel drive vehicle, and as such, it is is probably unwise to tow big heavy things like 5th wheels and horse trailers up a high mountain pass. Nevertheless, a simple bike or utility trailer should be fine. Large RV campers though are probably not recommended.

While I understand that the trailer hitch and bumper may be co-dependent, if there were no bumper behind the bumper cover it would seem to be extremely difficult if not impossible to secure said bumper cover without resulting in significant rattle or looseness I would think.

I concur with the Edge's AWD performance being superior to the Journey. While the Jeep GC is fantastic in Snow the Journey is not quite as capable but not bad. The Edge actually in my experience (2011) does better in snow AND icey roads compared to the Jeep GC (which is no small feat). Very stable even going up an icy hill when it was about -5F outside. I was highly impressed with the Edge's performance.
