  1. Have a set of four 20 inch chrome clad edge wheels sold my edge and are no longer needed. 3 of the rims are in great shape 1 rim is scuffed but still useable. No TPMS sensors or rubber included in sale. Asking $500 for the whole set plus shipping. I do go to Fargo once a month could meet in surrounding area if interested.
  2. Thanks! but negotiating today didn't go in my favor i'm not giving my edge away for peanuts, im staying firm on what I want for trade in. So looks like we'll just be installing an aftermarket hitch seems like the draw-tite is a good one among the edges. I've come across some really good reviews here on the forum and online about the draw-tite . But as I mentioned before i'm sure as long as I stay with something that weighs less than 1100lbs i'm sure the edge will be fine. Just have to get through this winter then camping here we come haha So the dealer called first thing this morning and came up on trade and agreed to our terms we pickup our 2013 F150 FX4 crewcab tomorrow i have to admit it's kinda bittersweet...
  3. No worries in the late reply I think my edge can tow up to 2000 lbs because it didn't come with the factory towing package but I am unsure. But the hubby and I went out and test drove an explorer and an F150 and I think we might be leaning towards trading in my edge for an F150 FX4 crewcab fully loaded in sterling grey metallic. Needless to say as soon as we stepped back into the truck the hubby knew he wanted it he didn't even consider the explorer lol although the explorer is very nice. We figured with 3 kids now and our dog and all of our stuff it might just be better to upgrade to something bigger that we know can handle the towing capacity with no issues. I love my edge to pieces and I know i'll be a shedding a tear if I trade her in but know the FX4 will be a good family hauler with more space and will be ready to work when the time comes for a new camper.
  4. Abnormal is your edge equipped with the factory towing package? We're looking at buying a pop-up tent trailer to go camping. But my edge (2011 edge 3.5 V6) we purchased it without the factory tow package, didn't even give 1 thought about it at the time when we bought our 2011 two years ago unfortunately. We have started to look into installing an aftermarket trailer hitch and have already found that we should stick to a trailer no longer than 8ft and perferably have the dry weight stay under 1200 lbs, we have found some trailers for sale online that weigh less than this. The last thing I would want to do is ruin my transmission and or other parts towing a small tent trailer. Does anyone know of a good repututable aftermarket trailer hitch that is a good fit? sorry if it's been asked before. Do you think my edge could pull a small tent trailer and five passengers or would I be over taxing it? (these are the times when I miss our old F150 FX4 crewcab ).

    New Edge

    I know how it feels to go from a big truck to an suv as we use to live out in the country it only made sense to have a truck. We had an 04 F150 FX4 crewcab lifted we loved it but once we moved to the city the gas mileage on that thing was horrible hence we sold our truck to get a more gas friendly vehicle and I completely agree that it's way easier to park to. I find my edge handles just great in the snow and that's with the all season michelins on it's a great suv and you'll both enjoy the better gas mileage thats for sure and before I forget congrats on the new edge
  6. I've had my edge just over a year now and love it best choice I made by far!. I think the only thing I regret not getting done was getting the fabric protection on the seats as my 2 kids tend to spill in the back. Love the ambient lighting so happy that I got this option and the heated seats are awesome to have in our Canadian winters. Only issues I've had was the apim had to be replaced but my dealer was great in getting it replaced quickly and my ford emblems corroding which warranty covered. Mechanically she runs fine and we've had no issues in regards to reliability. Found a set of the 20 inch chrome clad wheels off a 2012 locally and we'll be putting them on in the spring as we figured our 18 inch michelins would be better in the snow. Overall I love my edge we get compliments and asked questions about it all the time :shades: .
  7. Your welcome! there's definitely many helpful topics that you'll find on this forum.
  8. don't think anyone is hating surely it just got missed by the way looked at the pics of your new edge it looks great I really like the sel appearance package that they added for the 2013 models I love those wheels! and congrats on your new edge! I'm sure you'll love it for many years to come ^_^
  9. I guess it would really depend if you "really" wanted those extra options, could you live without the vista roof and all the extra's? I think it's a good deal on the 2011 limited and as far as I know the 3.5 V6 engines are the same from the 2011 to the 2013 models. From my own experience the MFT in my 2011 works great and always did from the day I bought it the only hiccup I had was when Ford sent out the usb update and they had to replace my apim which was covered under warranty just in case you didn't know Ford extended the warranty by 1 year on the SYNC modules when they sent out the new update so the 2011 should have an extra year of coverage for the module just so that gives you some peace of mind, but just to be safe I would clarify with your dealer. But in the end it comes down to what you really want. Let us know which one you decide to get and post some pics!

    New wheels

    From the album: My White Platinum Edge

    New 18 inch ikon's for my edge decided to go with the black and machined face style also removed the white plasti dip off the grille and left the top strip white
  11. Wow that looks amazing, gotta say I think it really blends well with the color of your edge especially in the 1st picture where you can see the metallic in the wrap and from your paint. Great Job!
  12. it's on the instrument panel on the bottom right it's always been there just not as noticeable as it was on the touchscreen lol hope that helps!
  13. Got my edge back over the weekend and pleased with the new update miss the temperature being on the home screen but is a change I can live with just happy to have my edge back hoping this is the last and only visit to the dealership on this issue.
  14. Well just got the call from the dealership unfortunately it was the APIM :angry: not happy about that, the service advisor said it looks like the usb was bad and fried the computer so he said he's gonna try to have my edge back to me tomorrow as they have to wait to get the part. I just hope that this isn't the start of bad things to come as I wasn't having any issues with MFT before this I really do love my edge and would like to keep it that way.
  15. I recieved my package yesterday and updated it today but it froze after the installing service packs screen and the screen went black for another 30 mins altogether I had my edge running almost 90 minutes. Called the dealer it's going in at 9am tomorrow morning because now it won't boot up at all no radio nothing tried disconnecting the battery and still nothing. It's to bad because I was also one of the lucky ones and didn't have any issues with MFT but was urged to upgrade it because of the extra year of warranty. I just wonder what could have happened to have it not install completely I did a master reset to the system before inserting the usb and it started just fine and then poof nothing :unsure: hopefully it's not a major issue when i take it in.
  16. Hi as a fellow canadian the website I used to help me get an estimate on my trade on my previous edge was canadianblackbook.com I found this website was a good tool for me. This is the website I used to get a trade in estimate for my 2010 edge when we upgraded to a 2011 edge. From my own personal experience it can be a little daunting at first but I went to a dealer across the city and got more than my estimate for my trade in. Hope this helps and Good Luck!
  17. I think it really depends on the owner because the edge is pretty versatile I think personally. I've seen alot of women and men driving the edge I would say 50/50 It's a great vehicle! For me personally it's our family suv gets myself and our 2 sons around safely don't get me wrong though it's safe to say I've probably made it a little more feminine by adding my own ladylike touches here and there lol it maybe one of the reasons why my hubby stays away from my edge
  18. I meant to post a picture after I got it but just didn't have the time so I thought I would post a pic of my new ride better late than never :D I have had my edge 2 months now and am loving it!
  19. I got more than $18,000 for my trade that was the 1st offer they gave me and from there I was able to negotiate a better deal
  20. UPDATE So I went to one other dealer that was across the city because I saw online that they had in stock an edge with the options I wanted and in the color I liked. Right off the bat they offered me $18,000 for my trade in which is great compared to the 1st dealer, I held my ground at what I wanted for my trade in so after a few days I got what I wanted for my trade in and I pickup my new 2011 edge sel awd in platinum white today! The drive across the city was well worth it because I got the deal on my terms and the sales manager was more than willing to work with me. So that being said it pays off to shop around for a better deal and not to get discouraged if one dealer doesn't want your business because there is one out there who does!
  21. After today I just might consider selling it privately but I just wanted to take advantage of the ford employee pricing before it ends at the end of the month because it knocks approximately $6,000 off the sticker price and I forgot to mention that I told her no right off the bat and walked out overall it just wasn't a very good experience :angry:
