Looks like there is a $30 mail in rebate this month for Hidden Hitch/Draw-Ite/Reese hitches.

2011 Ford Edge Light Bulb Chart
cjd3 replied to cal3thousand's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
I haven't changed my vanity lights yet, but both the 2011 and 12 manuals say they are a 37 bulb. That being said, I would agree with Dingo, they will look unnatural for the user, and thus you will be blamed when their makeup looks horrible. -
I am 99% sure I'm going to get a hidden hitch, and mount it myself. I figure the of a pair of tin snips is better than paying the installer. Hidden hitch has a nice little install PDF to follow, so I'm confident I wont destroy most of my Edge.

I just finished washing, polishing and waxing my Edge. I've never polished before, so I thought why not now. I can't tell if it helped, but it sure makes my arms stronger. I used the NXT wax, and we'll see how long it lasts. I also applied Rain-X to all the glass. The weather tried to rain on me after I dried the car, so I had to dry it again, but it stayed cloudy most of the afternoon, so nothing got baked on.

Touch up paint after you mount your rims?

Adding a push button start with key fob?
cjd3 replied to jerseyblood's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
You could tape the remote start next to the ignition. -
I'm actually looking at an EGR it's pretty low profile.

That would be a yes: http://accessories.ford.com/kit-remote-starter.html -
Check your gas cap gasket, that's all I can guess. Perhaps the gas cap is cracked somewhere you can't see. Have you cleared the code? Sometimes it requires a few cycles before the computer will clear it.

Alfredo sauce only works well on white trim pieces. -
2011 Ford Edge Light Bulb Chart

37 is the bulb -
I'm afraid not. You're gonna have to check each one. If they are all good, check the spare, it may sometimes trigger the sensor.

I put Putco 360 back up lamps in mine, I got them on Amazon. They have 8 radial and 1 center. They seem bright, but they are hard to seat with a good contact. I got them in a they seem to be still working.

Man oh man do I hope they make one for the 3.5. But like cozzz said, I hope it's quiet inside. My old Ranger had straight pipes and sounded nice, but it sure was loud in the cab.

On the Ford Edge page, on the right, there is a button that says "Get Updates". Check get info by mail, and fill it out. Later I got a post card fit $750 off (excluding the Edge SE AWD). It was sent from my local dealer, but I also thought I got one from Ford. Fine print said it can't be used with other loyaly programs, commercial deals, blah blah. Can't be used after sale. I hope this makes more sense.

Me too. She got it before we were married. It is nice and roomy, has a slightly longer rear storage space, and a rear window that opens up. That is about it. It runs on premium fuel. Parts are a bitch (over $700 to replace the prematurely worn struts that only Mitsubishi makes), and the integrated head unit can't be read in bright light.

I will agree that the the Sony System and turn signals are a nice upgrade, the rest (esp vision package) are kinda worthless. Instead of BLIS, I think the 1.5" convex button mirrors are way more functional. Rain sensing wipers are one of the dumbest things auto makers have created. I am not a fan of my chrome wheels since they are chrome plated plastic basically fused to the rim. I thought ambient lighting was frivolous, but damn, if it isn't neat. I'm glad it came on my '12 SEL. Don't forget to on the Edge homepage to request a brochure, you should get a $750 customer cash voucher in the mail 2 weeks later. Mine came 1 week after I bought my Edge. (Perhaps you could sell Dingo the chrome window trim)

They don't salt in Anchorge, AK, so the lowering mech never rusted. But at least give us a full size. My wife's Endeavor has as full size in the cab, and it's a matching rim too. Very nice, best feature of that suv.

DRL Standard These blind spot mirrors are almost useless, I like my button convex mirrors much better, I can see everything, including the curb. Full size spare that goes under, not in the back (ever get a flat on a fully loaded road trip?). Fuel door that you open in the cab. Hood struts with a light. I have a non navigation Edge, and the compass only shows N, S, E, W, and nothing in between. And of course a v6 EcoBoost for AWD.

My last fill up stated I had about 10 miles until I had to push (uphill probably), and I was able to get 17.5 gallons in the tank (the trip computer stated I used 17.23).

The MKX has a very bold grille. While I am not a fon of it, it certainly looks better than the old egg crate grille. The current baleen grills do not work for me. I think the best grille Lincoln ever made was on the original Naviator.
