Ford Faqs

Ford brought in the 2009 Edge to as a way for them to offer more of a variety and more choices for consumers to choose from in the crossover utility market. Ford has obviously given it a sporty look that appeals to the adventurous sides of consumers. Yet, at the same time it can also be used as family vehicle.

The 2009 Edge has been buffed up and equipped with newer features and models. The exterior of the vehicle has been given and added front air dam, side skirts, and a rear skirt. The wheels are the most drastic change. They are 20” Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires with polished aluminum. The taillights have an edgier look to them – which helps to enhance the sporty look of the vehicle.

As the Ford Edge glids along the George Washington Memorial Parkway you’ll notice that it doesn’t have spinning rims or a booming sound system. The bling in this SUV is the technology. The vehicle runs almost silently. It needs no gas and releases no polluting exhaust like most vehicles.

The HySeries Edge, which is to be revealed at the Washington Auto Show today, is a plug-in hybrid with an electric drive powered by a battery and a hydrogen fuel cell. Its arrival intensifies the competition to manufacture a mass-market electric hybrid that reduces reliance on gasoline and curbs the emission of greenhouse gases.

Ford products were able to score high in Texas with Fords, Land Rovers, Lincolns and Mazdas driving off with best-in-class awards at the 2006 Texas Auto Writers Truck Rodeo. At the top of the charts, Ford took the Truck of Texas award for the F-250 Super Duty 4X4 Crew Cab while Ford was voted the Best Truck Line of Texas.

“The results were tight, some categories were won by fractions of points, which only proves the point that there is a great deal of wonderful product for the consumer to chose from,” said Albert Flores, president, Texas Auto Writers Association. “On behalf of the TAWA board of directors, congratulations to the winners and thanks to our manufacturer sponsors for participating this year.”
