I just had a neighbor with a 2018 Edge Sport whose battery ran down. I jumped her car with my wife's 2020 Escape (Requires AGM Battery). She bought one of those cheap Duralast batteries from AutoZone. I advised her to start looking at AGM batteries due to all the tech in our vehicles before the summer heat hits in AZ.
One thing I would strongly advise if the battery needs to be replaced is that all newer Edges (Even my 2018) require AGM batteries which can be quite pricey. But if the battery is under warranty, you can go to the dealer and they will replace it for free.
Latest turn in the Vignale Grille hunt: I have a friend in the UK that's helping me locate this grille.
Got a quote for the wheel (Axe CF2 Gloss Black)/tire combo: Eyewatering is an understatement but it's a Forged wheel and that is to be expected.
Got a quote for the Bilstein shocks and struts
Reviewing dabangsta's post to see if I can do the same to my 2018
Found the Strut Tower Brace and rear sway bar
I have some areas that could really work that combo out. I am in a fairly mountainous state and that would be a good investment for going downhill on some roads.
Since yours is a 2019, you could do the ST calipers easily. Mine is a 2018. Will those calipers even fit?
Today's action:
Hammering Ford UK Parts for a Vignale Grille. I am not backing down until I get it. I don't care how far up the flagpole I go (Even if it gets to Farley's desk)
Calling Element Wheels in Chandler, AZ regarding the Axe CF2 Wheels (Gloss Black) in 20" (Shown below)
Researching the tires I want for my new rims (Yokohama Geolandar and Pirelli Scorpion Verde are both winning out)
Researching brakes via dabangsta's post
You just answered a prayer of mine for bigger brakes. I may be rebudgeting according to what's here (including the 7mm and 11 mm sockets).
But before I plunk down the coin, can you let me know if the braking performance has improved over the stock FWD rotors? With me considering an upgrade to 20s and the bad drivers around here, bigger brakes might be a very good investment.
BTW, I am looking at the PowerStop pads as well.
That reminds me. I need to replace the plastic where the gear selector is so I can put my parking brake control back where it belongs. My dealer wants to charge $450 for parts and labor......š¤¬
For me, this is the third Ford Edge I have owned. All have had the 3.5L V6 and none are AWD.
One factor is how comfortable my 5'4" wife is driving it. Currently, she's a bit envious of my Edge because of the power liftgate that she doesn't have on her 2020 Escape (She traded the 300 for this and I actually enjoy driving it)
Another is that I enjoy the power and handling which is akin to the BMW X5 V6.
While that is true, the challenge is which variant. Select, Reserve, Black Label? Of the three, The Black Label would be the most appealing to me. Plus, like the Edge, it would have to be the 2022-2023 model year.
