  1. Yup you can have the bar type tachometer or the traditional round one. I never use it. I usually keep the left screen showing the digital speed readout.
  2. I fill up my 2016 Mazda CX-9 with premium as well because of the hp different with that vehicle (I like that Mazda gives you the hp number change with each incremental tier in fuel type). So to make things easier I've stuck with premium on the Edge Sport (wife now thinks both require premium lol).
  3. Exactly! They're actually $213 right now. So the difference in price shouldn't be a deciding factor. Yes there are more tire options in the 20 inch size, but there are still a number of good choices in 21's as well.
  4. You won't need CANBUS but you will need capacitors. Even then you may still get failure to start on one of the bulbs every once in a while due to the DRL low voltage on start up. It sucks but well worth the upgrade in light output.
  5. Surprisingly they don't ride much different than the OEM 19's or 20's.
  6. Yes it would work as well. Any decontaminate will do the job.
  7. You are looking way too much in to this. You don't necessarily have to be by a rail yard or industrial area. I only suggested that you would have more if you did. You can get iron fallout from just driving on the highway and rail dust can travel miles so you don't have to be by a rail yard. Also as someone suggested, the cars are usually transported by rail before delivery, so you have that as well. Just bring it to a detailing shop and they will tell you right away that it's rail dust. Don't bother going to Ford and asking them it's a waste of time. I've owned 12 different white cars and every one of them have had it to one degree or another. IronX and a claybar are so easy to use if you want to DIY. If not, again a detailing shop will spray the car down with this purple mist and you will see it eat away at the little yellow spots. They clean the car after and poof done.
  8. I'll guarantee it's rail dust.
  9. It's iron or rail dust. Do you live or work near an industrial area? That can definitely make it worse. Anyways, do NOT scrub at them! Use a product like IronX or bring it to a detailing shop and they will do a "decontamination clean".
  10. Most likely it'll come with the Pirelli Scorpion's.
  11. Wow trading in a Land Rover? What made you make that kind of decision? Welcome in any case!
  12. There's a few people on this forum that the same thing has happened. A little bit concerning!
  13. That Toyota 3.4L is also not a turbo engine. Ford designs with a minimum goal of 150k after which you could still have great longevity but you may need to replace a turbo or seals/gaskets. I also disagree that purchasing a vehicle for the long term is a thing of the past. Advancements in technology and overall quality can lead to vehicles with even more miles on them. The problem these days, is that more and more people don't want to keep cars that long. Technology gets old quick, safety advancements, etc. all make it very tempting to buy new.
  14. The Sport doesn't have a different cluster. European models of the Edge do, but not in NA.
  15. If you bring it to a smaller collision repair shop they may color match and mix you up a batch. Might be a little expensive though.
  16. No it's almost exactly like the Edge cluster. Google images of it. This is why I also don't love the look. It's barely evolved since the the 2011 Edge when it was introduced. A little bit cleaner, and sharper but still the same basic design and colors.
  17. Functionally I like it. Just wish the colors weren't so Crayola. Doesn't match anything else in the interior and gives a very juvenile look.
  18. I think you will get used to the angle, my biggest gripe with the steering wheel is how thin it is (should have at least been thicker on the Sport).
