You get used to it pretty quickly. The really cool part is it puts itself into park when you shut off the engine.

They're dirt cheap if you decide you want one. The suspension was all aluminum and it drove great. Interior was a bit cheap but it was a good car.

First, they're wheels not rims. The easiest way is to plastidip your current wheels. If you don't like it you can take it off or redo it any time you want and it usually looks pretty good. If you want new wheels use tirerack.com and it will show you the wheels that fit your vehicle - just make sure you're getting the same diameter wheel as the current one and you can reuse your tires (17", 18", etc.). You can get this from the last 2 digits on the current tire size (e.g. 265/40R20 - 20" wheel). If you go with some other wheel that doesn't say for sure it fits the Edge you'll need to check the bolt pattern and the offset to make sure it fits.

Oh the irony......

I'll stick with 7500 mile oil and filter changes with the factory motorcraft synthetic blend.

I bought it in October 1999 just a few months after they started production. I sold it in 2005 but this is pretty much what it looked like. The autumn red paint wasn't quite as dark as it appears. In the sun it had a metallic orange tint.

I got caught in a similar circumstance when daughter totaled her 6 month old Focus. At the time there was a $1000 rebate. The database they use for comps (3rd party) only had one price in it from a local dealer who included the $1000 rebate in their listed price but didn't note it anywhere. Geico takes that price and subtracts the $1000 rebate (again). We had gap insurance so I'm thinking why do I care - let the gap insurance company fight it out with Geico. Except the gap insurance refuses to pay the $1000 difference saying Geico calculated it wrong (which was the case). Fast forward 3 months and I'm escalating to Geico trying to explain that they counted the rebate twice. They go back and do another pricing report and now there are several vehicles in the database and their price comes within $50 of what I was asking for. Problem solved but it was a PITA.

Just remember that even though it meets Ford spec you still have to follow Ford's intervals which I think is max 10K, regardless of what the oil mfr says. Which is why they need a limited warranty. I'd hate to be in the middle of that pissing contest between Ford and Mobil about which warranty should cover something.

Stalking me again, eh?

Try doing a master reset first.

That's what she said......

Is this it? iTunesFusion? https://www.itunesfusion.com/

I don't know, I had just not heard of it. Now that you mention it I don't remember getting puddles on my Fusion.

Drainless? Tell me more.

Is there a Tunes Edge?

That's really strange - etrailer is where I bought the Hidden Hitch for our MKX but it's not available now. Their website only shows one for the non sport non titanium models.

Oh, so the DEALER was upset about dealing with the warranty company, NOT FORD.

Except you don't have to move it.

Actually it was a 2016 MKX but I believe they are the same.

Like I said in the other thread, the hidden hitch does not interfere with the kick sensor at all. Not sure about other brands as their design is different and it's possible you might get some interference. It will still work but the area that you can kick may be smaller.

They work for both but you won't see as much of an improvement on the NA 3.5L.

Yes - no issues with the hidden hitch. You can kick anywhere between the hitch and the exhaust. Other brands may not work as well.

You can use the same itunes playlists on a usb stick. I use a free program called itunes export and it works perfectly as long as all your music files are accessible. If some were moved, deleted or only available via cloud it gets stuck. You can also create playlists manually with the right format.

Recalls are ONLY for safety issues and no matter how hard you try you are never going to justify this as a safety issue. There is no "Public Need" here. Just a part that sometimes fails. Considering how many Edges and MKXes have been built (well over a million) and considering at least half probably have a Vista roof, the failure rate is relatively low. Things break. Some dealers gouge you but that's not Ford's fault. Sometimes you just have to suck it up.

It's not a law, it's Ford policy. I believe the idea is they do not want a dealer fudging the lease end paperwork for a vehicle they intended to buy and resell.
