My First New Ford

[Forever_frost]

Well, after 3 years of 12-16 miles per gallon, I finally traded in my V8 Ram 1500 4x4 and bought my very first new Ford. I picked up the New Ford Edge and love it. It has so many damned buttons and options it's unreal and showing 22-27mpg. I haven't driven anything that runs this smooth and even with the V6, it has plenty of pickup.

Just thought I'd share with yall.

Cool! I always liked the way those looked.

Is it the 2011? I think those things are over 300hp with the new V6.

305 with the SEL model. It rides smooth as silk and the payments are a hell of a lot less than my dodge were. And the My Ford touch thing? It's freaking awesome

Good move, but guessing you'll miss the truck on occasion.

Na, like when you got a bunch of lumber, or other home improvement stuff and you have to fight to get it in the SUV. #1 thing I love about my truck - lumber just throw it in, strap it down and go. Anything heavy? Heave (sp) it over the side and done. etc, etc ,etc

I have an 88 Chevy 3/4 ton sitting in the pasture that needs a tranny rebuild. For 400 I can have her back up so it's not that big of a deal.

or pay 50 bucks to rent a truck for an afternoon when you need one, and say bye bye to 15 mpgs!

Rent a truck nearly each weekend?

Most people don't need a truck every weekend.

I hear ya and I was not even bashing what he did. Just commenting that he'd miss it. I could not get rid of mine now that I have it.
