Towing: What can it actually pull?
Doug Hathaway replied to Smittenhymer's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
I have a 2011 Edge AWD Limited and am considering buying a camp trailer. The trailer weighs 2400lbs dry, puts 230lbs on the hitch. I really want to buy the trailer but I live in Denver and would wind up taking the thing over the pass. With high altitude and long climbs, do you think the Edge can hang or do you think this is just asking for trouble? -
2013 Edge Sport Alternate Tires/Rims
Doug Hathaway replied to jkohl's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
I have a set of chrome clad 18" rims I would be happy to give to whoever wants them. I live in Denver and wont be paying for shipping. So either pick up locally or pay for shipping. -
Is Anyone Satisfied With Their Edge?
Doug Hathaway replied to The6thTemp's topic in Owner Impressions
Am I satisfied with my 2011 Ford Edge Limited? Yes, I love that car. It just looks right. When I see other Edges out on the street, they catch my eye right away. I love all the chrome in the grill. I love their overall shape, their sound, their features. I feel very fortunate to be able to own one. I take my daughter to Montessori school and there are some rather wealthy parents who take their kids there too. In the parking lot are Mercedes, porsches BMWs and audis. But when I walk out into the lot, I still think the Edge stands out in appearance compared to the rest. I know I am biased, but it just looks great. It has all the options I need, it runs smooth and fast on the highway, handles all the tasks a family guy who likes to ride bikes and snowboard needs. I recently bought new rims, will get a new exhaust system with short cherry bomb mufflers to give it a bit more rumble. So yes, very satisfied. I plan on keeping it for the long term. -
Nice wheels! -
VERY NICE! Great rims and calipers. -
Plastic cad rims suck. Move on to aluminum and don't look back. -
But the good part is...its removable. -
I like those clean colors, but I hate plastic dip.

I loved the color of my Ford Edge so much I had my motorcycle painted to match. -

Here is the solution to drilling holes in your bumper for an ugly license plate holder. Get a standard plate holder from the dealer. Get two small bungees and rig them however you can to leave about 1" of bungee hanging out the back, stretch the bungee and hook the hook around the grill work in the lower portion of your 2011-2014 Edge. The plate stays on at highway speeds, looks natural where its mounted and when not in use, store it under the back seat. Voila! -

I installed a nice GPS from Garmin as the stock one from Ford blows. I had CarToys mount the power behind the dash so its a nice clean install. I use a coffee cup mounted cellphone holder as I rarely pack drinks and the Edge has cup holders everywhere. Also, if you use Spotify...which I LOVE...you need easy access to your phone to navigate music selections. -

If you are like me, you HATE front license plates. The only time I want one on is when I am parking on city streets. I devised a little solution that lets me place it and remove it easily. -
Colored Brake Caliper Covers
Doug Hathaway replied to FINFAN3DP's topic in Accessories & Modifications
MGP makes some covers that look okay. I think you can have them CNC engraved to say Ford or Edge if you want. $179 on Ebay. I just started school as a machinist, I may eventually make my own covers. -

Got some new kicks for the Edge. The stock plastic-cads just weren't cutting it. These are 20inch by Drag. I think they look great. What do you think?
