I have two edges
2007 186500 miles
2010 185700 miles
Great cars
👌
Have a 2010 Edge since 2014, and other then the minor maintenance issues, plus the 100k tune up, she's been very reliable. It's a 2wheel drive and handles the mid west winters just fine. Almost to 200k! Have a 2007 Ford Freestyle getting closer to 200k, and the Freestyle gets 28-30 mpg! We have been across this continent twice in it. East to West North to South. Very reliable car/SUV/CRV station wagon. Both bought the same year.
How’s holding up ?
I just bought a 2011 Ford Edge! Exactly the model displayed on here! 145xxx mi. I was skeptical bc of all you hear about Ford products, it's my first modern Ford.
But, after 2 weeks with her, I have to say it's been my favorite car I've ever owned! It's like brand new, drives so smooth & sporty. The newest car too. I especially love that it's a 2011, but the features make it fit in with modern vehicles (like touchscreen, backup cam, BT, ambient lights)
Thank you for the video. I have a 2011 sport 3.7l Edge since 2 years. I had that ptu oil leeking from the van. I ask my mecanic to drill a drain plug to my ptu. Every oil service 15000km , he change the oil in the ptu. Its always very sluggish and black. Also had the power steering leeking issue. I love my Edge, very confortable and powerful.
Finally A Great video on the ford edge most RUclipsrs waste time fr
great rep spokesman,very thorough and easy to understand,thanks
This is a very good video, loaded with valuable information......Thanks
This was a fantastic video!!!
2011 Limited I have. Only 95k. Much better ride & handling after set of new Michelin tires!! Bummer I did not research potential water pump replacement cost. $4-6k! Takes engine tear down. Change coolant fluid using new Motorcraft YELLOW. Also frequent oil changes. Very comfortable, well laid out dash, console control panel. Glad I got it.
2011 Issue with fans jacket,$1,100 power stering $280 and ac evaporator etc $1,500. 63k miles😢
I'm looking into buying one very soon, I hope to test drive one at a dealer 1st before buying one from off the marketplace on facebook. Thanks for the video, I know what to look for when I find one. My main concern is how smooth is the ride? I have back issues and need a soft ride.
Generally this suv has a smooth ride. However, ride comfort can vary depending on factors such as the specific model year, trim level, and condition of the vehicle. Some owners and reviewers have noted that the ride can be a bit firm, especially over rough roads or uneven pavement. Additionally, models with larger wheels or sport-tuned suspensions may provide a less comfortable ride.
Good luck with your purchase!
I just bought one for my son....flew to Texas and drove it home to Michigan.
They are nice riding even the one I picked which has 20" wheels. The 18" wheels would be a slightly smoother ride.
The weak link on these Edges/Explorers with the 3.5L V6 is the Water Pump and Timing Belt.
They need to be replace ever 100K otherwise risk it failing resulting in expensive repairs. If you can find one where it has been replaced it would be a bonus.
I ended up going with the Ford Flex. It has a much better ride and way more room. I love it, it's a 2017!
This car always has water pump issues
It is suprising that the water pump was not mentioned..
That's because most waterpumps in these last 175+ thousand miles before possibly becoming a problem! A lot of vehicles have timing belts that require a belt change at around 100k at a cost of $1,200-$1,600. The waterpumps on these edges don't fail as much as people fear they will!
Mine died at 45k!!
@@peajeProbably due to lack of maintenance. My 2016 Edge 3.5 has 95K miles on it and it's still going strong.
@@PatientXero607 nope, maintenance was ip to date, using only full synthetic oil and coolant changes. It just died. I had to change it again at 70k … maybe bad luck on this vehicle
it was...it said repair for a water pump is costly
That car with internal water pump kills it for me
I have a 2007 edge, and even after spending 1800.00 in mostly suspension repairs, the thing is still a rolling piece of sh****
Over 100 years in business and they still can't make a car that's not going to have problems
Electrical problems no ignition
Do your self a favor get a suv with a 4 cylinder. If you are a do it yourself mechanic
I cringe everytime I look under the hood. $2000 water pump repair.
The seats suck since they break and then if you can find parts it costs $1,000 just for the part. Won't buy a Ford again.
How would the seats break?
@@asiansticker7015Something internally in the seat frame that controls the position of the seat broke. So now when stopping or accelerating the seat rocks all the way forward or back. It makes a rachet like sound when doing it.
@@zackhamilton8444 for future reference you could junk yard a new drivers seat for $60
