  1. An oil change is the cheapest thing you can do to extend engine life. If your service plan has mileage limitations and you can't change it too early, do it yourself or have your shop do it. Do what makes you feel comfortable.
  2. I just traded my 2016 for a 2020 Titanium 301A with 44k mi and I'm very happy. The additional safety equipment, lane keeping/centering, adaptive cruise are the upgrades I was looking for. Other than for nav, how often would a larger screen be important?
  3. Too bad the real frigid weather is over for the year, so we may never know. I'm originally from Minnesota and now live in Arizona, so I know what I said is not true. I just can't resist mentioning the weather. It was only 70 here today.
  4. Do you live in a cold or extremely cold climate?
  5. I have an appointment to have my trans flushed and filled, no filter change. I bought the car with 27242 miles and after my trip, it now has 32150. I have had more than one hard shift, including on a flat surface, trans warm. I know it can go 50000 miles, I feel it never hurts to change fluids, but this ain’t cheap, am I wasting my money?
  6. Sorry to hear about the collision, I hope everyone was okay. On the homepage there’s a tab at the top labeled Order Guides. Check page one of the first and last guide to find any changes. The later versions highlights and notes the changes from the previous version.
  7. So far I only have one from Northern Arizona. Saw this crazy car at Cadillac Ranch.
  8. I've wanted an Edge since they came out, but couldn't justify spending the cash for all the features I wanted. Since I retired, I have a lot of time to search the interweb for things and stuff and I found one well within my price range. It's a 2016, FWD, SEL, Panoramic roof, 27,242 miles, very clean, except for some very minor interior scrapes on the lower portion of the drivers door where they pushed it open with their shoe, and a scrape on the right front bumper. They were asking $21,500. It was a California car, business lease, bought at the Southern Cal auction and sold in Tempe, AZ. Many of the Edge's in the Phoenix area, with this mileage, were going for 23-26K, so I wondered why this was priced so low. The salesman said it was because of the scrape, but he offered to have it repaired and painted and it looks perfect. I just returned from a 5000 mile road trip and the car ran great. I drove from AZ to MN through southern Colorado, Pikes Peak, Wyoming, Black Hills and 2 lane Hwy 4 across S Dakota to MN. Drove around the Twin Cities, up to Duluth and Interstate home to AZ. Overall, I averaged 30.3 mpg's for the entire trip, which I was very pleased with. In the Phoenix area, there are a lot of big trucks, semi's and everyone drives really fast, so I like the higher profile from my Fusion, plus I can now take trips into the desert without clearance issues. I traded a 2017 Fusion and have no regrets, the Edge is so much more vehicle, better visibility, more cabin room and plenty of space for cargo.
  9. I remember reading an article about new mail trucks and one of the big issues was ergonomics, the vehicles needed to be able to be set up to eliminate body twisting and improve accessibility.
  10. Sounds like you’re the kind of guy who likes to fix it yourself and you have already purchased the replacement part, but if the car is still under warranty, I’d take it to the dealer and avoid the hassle.
  11. It's the symbol that indicates the hill assist is deactivated.
  12. I thought dropping the C-Max was a done deal with 2018 being the final MY. Then in 2020 (late 2019) the new EV's will debut, is that still the case?
  13. Monsoon season. Enjoy you're Edge, it's a great vehicle.
  14. Confused area man believes German cars built in America are not sold in America.
  15. Huh, I had a 2012 Focus and didn't experience any transmission issues and now have a 2017 Fusion with no transmission issues, I guess "all the transmission issues Ford cars have" passed me by.
  16. The best part about a physical leak, they can't say there were no error codes.
  17. How long until Trump takes credit for this plan that was agreed upon in 2015?
  18. akirby, looks like we were typing at the same time
  19. Huh, didn't see the Platinum listed on page 1 under Model/Series/Availability list, but scrolling down it's after the Titanium. I forgot the Energi gets its own Order Guide.
  20. No Platinum, I guess it was a little too much luxury for the segment. At the price, why not upgrade to a Lincoln. Just noticed, no more Energi, stay tuned for the new and improved PHEV late 2018/early 2019.
  21. Maybe one of the doors has sagged and the hinges need to be realigned and tightened, just a guess.
