  1. There is no need to be snarky Ice Capades. I own a Ford and I was not trying to take you or the company down. What I was repeating is what I have read. In reference to your production info....yes I read it but have you ever known a company to put out info to cover their butts? No, I never noticed it in my 45 years of corporate life either (sarcasm). Sorry, I stepped on your toes. Thank you for posting what you believe is the truth. Now if I could only get Ford to fix my transmission!
  2. When you google “2021 Ford Edge Production” you get a lot of advertisement type articles from late October. In addition there are quite a few statements to the effect that the Edge will not be produced. When I put that together with the fact that it is almost January and most other companies have had there ‘21s out for 2 months I come to the conclusion that there will be no Edge. If I am mistaken I will immediately come back here and retract my words. Let me go investigate further.
  3. Being that Ford will not be producing a 2021 Edge I imagine that they will not put much effort into “fixing” the low speed shift problem in my 2019. Funny thing is that CR rated the Edge has the most reliable Ford. Oh woe is me!
  4. Throughly agree. As the owner of a 2019 Titanium I had never driven a “lane keeping” car before. After driving mine for awhile I have found that it is better than nothing but does ping pong in curves. I would never trust my life to the system but if it saves me from one accident I will take it.
  5. Hey, you don’t think that is why Ford cut the dual note horn on Edge Titaniums, hmmmm......save $5 a car times a large number is a large amount of cash for the beloved investors. ?
  6. PonyHP, thank you, thank you, thank you. Ford should be ashamed of themselves; saved a few bucks for total embarrassment.
  7. Thanks to all for the answers. For the past month I have been the proud owner of a ruby red Titanium Edge. The turbo is pleasant to drive and gets good fuel economy and also power when you need it.
  8. So then from the above 2 posts, I presume that better economy is obtained when normally accelerating and power is achieved during heavy acceleration. Correct?
  9. I understand that turbos force air into the engine and the reason for them. My question has to do with when are turbos working. Do they work all the time or just when accelerating hard? For example, if I do 0-60 in 30 seconds is the turbo just idling in the background ready to go if you put your foot into the pedal or is the turbo constantly operating? I would imagine on a max run to 60 the turbo is running for the full 7, 8 or 9 seconds. True? Thanks.
  10. I am back to buying a 2019 Edge Titanium. Here is my dilemma.......my wife and I are getting older and we would like to keep the servicing dealer as close as possible. We have 2 Ford dealers within 7 miles and another within 12. What I am going to say does not apply just to Ford but rather to the whole auto store industry. All of the above dealers have “help wanted” signs on their websites which does not instill confidence. Then when I read the “Yelp”, “Google” or other reviews the results are scary, very scary. I do understand that most of the time only unsatisfied customers write reviews but then how come all of these 3 dealers have so many glowing reports with honey just oozing out of them? As an addict of the web I read stories about auto techs taking shortcuts due to time restraints, etc, etc, etc So here’s my question, how can a prospective buyer of a $40,000 vehicle pick a dealership that is honorable, trustworthy and knowledgeable?
  11. I wanted the Titanium without the large sunroof. I asked to delete it. I was told cannot do. I asked if I could pay to delete it. Answer was the same. I walked away.
  12. 2019 RAV4 is going to have the same thing. Must be getting popular.
  13. Typo, package states that it includes 21” wheels.
  14. This guy Farley sounds like a car salesman to me!
  15. Before blaming the deceased woman who was wrong, take a look at the video from the car. The bozo driver was looking at something in his lap and not paying attention. If,he was alert she might be alive today. [url=http://www.autonews.com/article/20180321/MOBILITY/180329893/uber-self-driving-car-video-shows-operator-was-distracted-before?cciid=email-autonews-blast]
