EDST777 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Friends hi. The strange question, but is compelled to set it. My Ford EDGE, I love it, and everything in it is good, except the size. My height of 198 cm and I have some problems when landing in it. I am compelled to remove a seat back, my head settles down just opposite to the central racks, what wonderful look, I constantly bend what to see something at turn and I look out of the window of a back door or on the contrary I bend forward what to see something in a window of a forward door. Over the head the place isn't enough and sometimes I hit a ceiling), I have Vista roof, it reduces space. But in the summer it everything is tolerant, problems begin in the winter when I stack on a seat a subtub from a sheepskin, and at once the gap in 1,5 cm disappears over the head. I stack a lining, what not to freeze the fifth point, at us cold in the winter of-25 degrees Celsius. Such history). To be pleasant to me my EDGE, but I think to replace it with more spacious on height. I considered option of replacement by Explorer 2008, what your opinion in what will lose this option and in what to win? Your opinion: its technical characteristics, service problems, appearance in comparison with EDGE. Any thoughts except kicks.

akirby Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I don't think there were any major problems with the 2008 Explorer, but I don't know if it gives you more headroom. I suggest testing it with your sheepskin seat cover to be safe. It is a very different vehicle though. It's heavier, louder and won't handle as well as the Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that it not such dynamic car but how to be told I look for comfort therefore I want to analyse everything pros and cons. I will try on with a sheepskin, thanks.

EDST777 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks..... it follows from this that among EDGE specified for 2008 takes the biggest place over the head? Really?! Econoline, Transit-no, doesn't approach, I would consider F-150, it is pleasant to me also the size suitable. p.s.: there can be Explorer 2011-15?

akirby Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 The 2011+ Explorer has 41.4 inches of headroom - more than Edge or pre-2011 Explorer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDST777 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 )), everything is possible, but so far they love Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Tahoe more, is of what to think to Ford and not to sleep at night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
