2008 Crossovers

Ford has placed the 2008 Edge Crossover squarely in the middle of its competitors. This Front wheel drive CUV beats them in several key categories, including price, the available torque from the award-winning 3.5-liter V-6 power, and the second row legroom, with over an inch its nearest competitor. All this, plus the option of Ford driver cushion door keyless entry for ease of entry.

Ford started with a bold design and flexibility in mind to blend with the energy performance sedan like handling. This forward thinking has landed on board the "most attractive Medium Multi-Activity Vehicle" by JD Power and Associates 2007 Automotive Performance, performance and Layout (APEAL) study.

At the heart of the Edge 2008 is the 3.5L V6 Duratec 35 engine with 265 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. Ford engineers used a drive cam roller chain to reduce friction and make the engine of an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle II (ULEV II) emissions standards, a memo approved by the California Air Resources Board. Combine that with a highway about 24 miles per gallon in TA, and Ward's named the best driver of one of his ten for 2007.

Put all this power to the ground is a fully independent suspension AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) standard. The sophisticated, standard 6-speed automatic transmission can be connected to a scheme, all-wheel drive for maximum grip in all conditions.

The Edge has also been named "Top Safety Pick" by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to achieve the highest ratings in front, side and rear tests. Six airbags are standard on every issue, including Ford Safety patented Canopy side curtain.

Think of it as a moon roof on steroids, because it includes more than 39% of the total area of the roof edge and allowing to feel outdoor car if you wish. Add to that the option of a storage capacity of 69 cubic feet of space, and you can begin to see how this flexibility Edge really is.
