Nebraska Ford shoppers will love the top of the line Limited that adds ambient lighting, leather seating, a 10-way power driver seat with memory settings, a power front passenger seat, heated front seats, the MyFord Touch interface, Ford Sync, two USB inputs, a rearview camera and a premium 12-speaker Sony audio system with HD radio. The Edge Sport is equipped similarly to the Limited, although it comes with 22-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and transmission paddle shifters.

Many of the additional features available on the higher trim levels can also be added to lower trim vehicles via optional packages. Available options include (depending on trim level) 20-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a power lift gate, xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, keyless ignition/entry, a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system and an SD-card-based navigation system with real-time traffic and Sirius travel link.

The Ford Edge SE, SEL and Limited all come with a powerful 3.5-liter V6 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.  EPA fuel economy estimates for the 2011 Ford Edge are at 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway for a front-drive 3.5-liter model.

Upholding Ford’s commitment to safety, antilock disc brakes, stability control (with rollover avoidance logic), front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and blind-spot mirrors are all standard. The programmable and convenient Ford MyKey system also comes standard. Optional on all trims except the SE is a Vision package that includes blind-spot and cross-traffic monitoring systems.

Nebraska Ford Edge Safety

Although the 2011 Ford Edge has not yet been tested, in 2010 government crash tests, the Ford Edge scored five stars (out of five) for the driver and four stars for the passenger in frontal-impact tests and five stars for side-impact testing for both front and rear passengers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Edge the highest possible rating of “Good” in both frontal-offset and side-impact testing.

Both the look and the feel of the 2011 Edge’s interior are more premium this year thanks to better materials and a high-tech electronics interface dubbed Ford’s MyTouch complementing the existing Sync system. MyTouch features a new touch screen display that operates similarly to the screen of a Smartphone. It also includes additional voice commands, and operates the Edge’s tech features.

Edmunds.com says “The 2011 Ford Edge is now a top choice for a midsize crossover SUV. Quiet, roomy cabin; comfortable ride; innovative technology features; lots of safety equipment.”
