igcitng Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have read there are differences in Edges depending on when they were built. I have been presented a sticker with the date of 1/28/11. Should I be concerned about buying this one? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been presented a sticker with the date of 1/28/11. Should I be concerned about buying this one? Thanks. Honestly, I would go for a Job 2 vehicle if you are buying a 2011. They did several enhancements including a redesign of the roof structure to bring the Rollover strength to 4.7x the vehicle weight where it was 3.5x before. Also, the quieter side mirrors were introduced during Job 2. In fact, if I were to buy right now, I'd wait for the 2012. New side indicator mirrors (blinkers a la Explorer), extra baffling in the D pillars, AND the doors are installed with these super high tech laser guided robots that can get it within 1/10 of a millimeter of where it is supposed to be mounted. http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=34721 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to decide between the two. Just this morning I saw an article about all of these changes. They are significant so I think at this point it is the way to go. Not getting a very good deal on an 11 anyway so why sink a bunch of money into one at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still see Ford making leaps in quality under Mulally for the next few years especially. So later cars will be only be better. Makes me want to finish this lease (on 4/1/2013) and grab a 2013 or 2014 at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be able to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Job 1 or job 2 or 3.... Chofff & I both have job 1. We tracked ours through production and delivery together. Hers works great And mine is nearly a lemon. Go figure. I don't plan on rolling my edge so job 2 is a pass for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Edge Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 How do you determine if you have Job 1 or 2 or 3? Our Edge was built around March 25, 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choff1138 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yep - all that glass on the roof - I am not planning on rolling it. And mine has only been to the shop for an oil change where Wilson went weekly for a while. I am still on mft v1.8 and love it. It is not my iphone, but it works great. My navigation has all the addresses I have put into it, but sometimes my little arrow is off to the side of the road - and there was always a problem with my sirus subscriptions, but they don't work up here in AK anyway, so never bothered to have it fixed. - Maybe that was the root of all your problems Wilson - Sirus? just kidding. The only thing I have heard from the 12's that I wish I could get is the better front passenger seat. I might have to look into how much it would be to get one. I am glad I don't have turn signals on my mirrors - I don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Edge Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 It's on the window sticker I looked on the window sticker and couldn't find it. Is it in code? Where should it be located on the sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I couldn't find it either, the dealer had a print out on the vehicle and it was listed clearly on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may only show up on job 2 and later. Job 1 may not show anything. Or maybe they're not putting it on the window sticker any longer. Not sure.

The build date is on there however and (if I'm not mistaken) all March 2011 on were Job #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john747 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 If I remember correctly Job 2 began at the end of Feb. I have Job 2 built first week of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
