  1. I regularly start my Edge from inside a brick and mortar building on the third floor and through 3 stone walls and then across a parking lot. Id guess 500' at least, but the three stone walls inbetween has to kill range as well.
  2. Its a pretty sharp looking, and driving SUV. Its got awesome attention grabbing 22" wheels already! About the only "mod" that Ive seen that I really think ties things together are these brake caliper covers. http://www.calipercovers.com/_e/dept/02-016/2011_Ford_Edge.htm
  3. I like the DDMTuning.com kit. $45 and it works awesome

  4. I can barely get my commands out when my SYNC cuts me off and tells me she doesnt understand
  5. I paid special attention to this today and even though Im only 6'00", My knee wasnt closer than 2 inches from the console. I guess I just sit straighter up. I do drop the rear of my seat all the way down and raise the front all the way up with a slightly reclined backrest.
  6. your cheapest way to get the sport look would use the rocker molding and door bottoms from 3D carbons 2007-2010 edge body kit, about $500 on the internet. the front lower valance can be swapped directly with the paintable sport models, as can the lower rear valance. then, either get a new grill or paint your existing grill tuxedo black. The textured plastic that Ford uses for the unpainted lowers is not suitable for painting. even once prepared it releases some type of oil or resin which creates paint adhesion problems. get primed paintable parts from the beginning and save yourself the headache and expense.
  7. For one, don't run your autostart for long because that gets you 0.0 Mpg to factor into your fuel economy equation. Keep your car empty, no hauling around 6 cases of bottled water if you don't need to. Try not to gun it to get up hills, try to coast to red lights as soon as you see them, and use your CC on long hiway trips. Also keep a close eye on your tire pressure, it matters when your trying to get the best mpgs.
  8. 11 Sport with the 22"s. I have a huge hill to climb everyday. Yesterday I powered up it while it was covered in ice during our ice storm.
  9. I was sent a $750. coupon for the explorer , and currently they locked me in (or said they did) on the $1000. incentive. They also said that if incentives get better at the time of delivery they would give those to us. Hoping for the best.
  10. Lol, me too! Where you on the job? Lol After looking at my edge paperwork, seems the dealer gave me X-plan plus $500. Law enforcement discount. They are listed in COPS magazine as a special dealer to visit in Nj. With the Edge, they charged all the minimum paperwork fees, as per X-plan. Still, ill ask about out the door between the two.
  11. when my 22 inch rims on my sports get loaded with snow they go out of balance. I'm forced to stick a glove hand in and clear them out before I get on the higway. good thing that the spokes are so wide that I can get my hand in and out easily.
  12. i had this problem with my 2008. Dealer was never able to correct it. After reading previous posts I believe the top of the door might've been out of alignment and that might have fixed my problem
  13. In November I went to my local Ford dealership who happens to be the northeast volume leader for 7 years running. I used X-plan plus a slew of cash and incentivesto get an absolutely fabulous deal on my loaded awd sport. I clearly left the dealership happy and feeling like I won. Today I returned with my wife to order her a 2011 Explorer. Since everyone now knows us from a few visits, the sales manager came over and showed me an involved of a similar truck. He said here would be your X-plan price about $200. Over invoice. Your cost on our police program IS $100. UNDER invoice, so we'll save you money. why am I so suspect of them not wanting to go the X-plan route? All comments are welcome, and since were 6-8 weeks out on delivery, I'm sure I can push the X-plan price at delivery, just wondering what the advantage would be for them to not use it.
  14. I used DDMTuning brand HID'S. for $45.00, how do you go wrong? I bought the 9006 and it fit without modifications. The bright clear light focuses perfectly through the projector lamp. Check out the photos in my gallery and pm if you have any questions.
  15. Thanks, ill try that browser. I have no problem posting with my phone obviously...
  16. Like my title asks, why can't I post replies from my ipad? Does anyone use their ipad to read and respond to the forums? Did you ever experience this problem? I can type in searches, just can't get a cursor to pop up in the post reply box. posted from my Droid incredible.
  17. IIi made my own. They work, they keep my front doors clean, and they were free. They're also nearly invisible when standing next to the truck.
  18. Where did you buy your rims and what did you pay for them before having them machined?

  19. Were looking at the explorer for my wife. How long have you owned it? What're your thoughts so far? Real world gas mileage? Any thoughts or insight you can give is appreciated.

  20. Our Sport has been performing exceptionally in all the snow we've gotten. A trip during an ice storm with fozen streets was the diciest driving i've done, but that was like driving on a hockey rink...and I still got to my destination safely. Dont think a second set of tires will be needed here in NJ, but if anyone is interested, Pirelli does make specific Snow/Ice tires in a 22" size to match our stock tires.
  21. I have two pair of HID lamps from my 2008. Let me know if youre interested. One is used but still perfect, and the other is brand new.

  22. Not sure. On my next tank of gas, i'm going to swap in my paper filter again and see what happens to my mileage. Takes less than a minute and i'm curious. Update; I forgot to switch the filter, but, on my last tank I got 19.2 mpg. That's awesome for this vehicle in the freezing cold with winter blend fuel. This was at least 80% highway driving.
  23. Richy, Do you have a part number for these headrests in the Charcoal leather like you have? Did they leave you a box or owners manual that might list it? Id like to ask my buddy at the dealership to order them at cost and figure it would be a lot easier if I provided all the part numbers and such. Thanks
  24. ive opened my tailgate twice, panic button three times, never started the car yet though.
