Well it's got a ways to go and at least it's insulated! But we do have some nice scenery !

Have fun on your first outing. I hope you get all of the enjoyment out of it that we got on ours. It also helps to let you know some of the important things you will need as you get further into your conversion.

Good Luck,

Mike

Nice! You'll get there. Did you tow that freestyle? Isn't it AWD?

Yes we towed it but it's only front we had an AWD but it only pulled 23 mpg this pulls 28.3 highway...and it's an SEL while the last was an SE. :)


Have fun !

Having fun no doubt.

Towed 2010 Ford Edge with dolley until I found out you could flat tow that puppy. I think the only way to go.

Yes we dolly it...it has a CVT so it can't be 4 down.. However nearly every ford 08 and up can be 4 down :)


Have fun !

Go Ford. I'm a Toyota guy at heart but I'm impressed with the direction Ford is headed and discouraged by the direction Toyota is headed.
