    I guess I'll update.

    Expedition is gone, replaced by a white 09 F150 XLT crew cab 4x4 short bed. Power everything, moonroof, tinted windows, heated mirrors, and a fuel gauge that doesn't read properly.

    my edge has the 3.5 in it, not the ecoboost Bill.
    i did not see a need for the ecoboost engine.

    Is your Edge a 2015 model? 2015's available with the two Eco-Boosts and the 3.5L

    2006/2014 Edge was based off the Mazda CX9, was only available with the 3.5L.

    yes, a 2015. picked it up the end of october.
    the 2014 in the list was a typo and i did not see it until it was to late to edit.
    i got it for the parents to use. since dad had the stroke he can not get into cars anymore. the edge is easy for him to get into to go to doctors. this way we do not have to pay for medical transport.
    it only has 2,100 miles on it after 7 months..

    jowilker (FTE member) called me a coupla days ago, wanted to know if the 2013 Escape (in my sig on FTE) was EZ to get in/out of. His wife is having trouble getting in/out of her '93 Taurus.

    I told him it was the only reason I leased it. Step in/step out is perfect for an old geezer that's 6-5 with arthritis and spinal stenosis.

    and that is part of the reason my crown vic only has 62,000 miles on it. i can get in with no problem, but it is very hard to get out of.
    the trucks i can get in easy enough with the running boards on them, and then just fall out.

    First vehicle when I was 16 back in Poland in 1970 was
    WSK motorcycle with whooping 6 HP, making 80 khp downhill
    Fiat 126p
    Fiat 125
    Skoda
    VW Scirroco (that one hit 160mph peg driven on autobahn)
    Now in US what include cars for my family
    Toyota Corona
    Oldsmobile wagon times 2
    Peugeot 504 times 2 (actually 3 as I bought one with engine apart and got another crushed, but with good engine)
    Toyota Dolphin motorhome 20'
    Volvo DL (served us for 14 years)
    Porsche (cheap model, don't remember number)
    VW Scirocco
    Peace Arrow motorhome 27' (that one blow Toro-flow engine in Ottawa and was quickly replaced by)
    Bounder motorhome 32'
    VW pickup times 2
    Barth motorhome wb 32'
    Country Coach motorhome 40' (that one I bought for quick resale, but we put like 5000 miles anyway)
    GMC 350 flatbed with 404
    Mercedes ML320 (the only new I bought in US)
    Mercedes 300tdt times 2 (bought 2nd for resale)
    Mercedes E320cdi
    VW Jetta 1.6 tdi

    Kris, for long posts, I'll type it up in MS Word or something similar, then copy and paste into the reply.
