2011 Ford Explorer

Imagine, for a moment, you are a plant. Well, not just any plant. You are Robert Plant, and everywhere you go, people want you to sing “Stairway to Heaven”. I’d rather not, you tell them. Never liked that one much, to be honest. We’ve a much better song that I’d much rather sing. Called ‘Kashmir’, dontcha know. Much better, that one. For years, you refuse to perform the song. You cancel a proposed Led Zeppelin reunion because the promotion company insists, positively insists, that you play “Stairway”. You’d rather play “Kashmir”. And since you don’t really need the money, that’s the end of it.

I suspect the people who run Ford can sympathize a bit with Mr. Plant. Their “Stairway” is a four-door SUV called the Explorer. You might have heard of it. Sold a bunch, that Explorer, even though it was always kind of a hokey tune, a Ranger truck with a cap and a couple rows of plastic-leather seats, perched sky-high on underinflated Firestones.

The Explorer was never a truly outstanding answer to the family-wagon question, so a couple years back Ford created the Flex, which is an outstanding answer. It should have made the Explorer obsolete, but there were two problems. It wasn’t really an SUV, and it wasn’t an Explorer. And since Ford, unlike Zeppelin’s Golden God, needs the money…

2011 Ford Edge


The 2011 Ford Edge ranks 7 out of 23 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 63 published reviews and test drives of the Ford Edge, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The refreshed Ford Edge has sharp new styling, a higher quality cabin and powerful engine options. Best of all, the Edge offers revolutionary touch controls for the stereo and entertainment systems.

Like its Lincoln MKX platform-mate, the 2011 Edge gets a mid-cycle refresh that makes it one of the most high-tech SUVs on the market. It gets new exterior styling, upgraded interior materials and more powerful engines. But the most exciting new feature is the optional MyFord Touch interface, which replaces the traditional button controls with touchscreens and a five-way controller. It even includes touch-sensitive sliders for the stereo volume and fan speed.

The 2011 Edge is more comfortable and quieter than ever. It continues to feature a roomy, easy-to-fold rear seat. However, aside from the MyFord Touch option, the Ford Edgedoesn’t stand out in its class.

Pricing is expected to be similar to the 2010 model, which means the base price will start at just under $28,000. That price puts the Edge in the middle of the midsize SUV pack, but it can quickly skyrocket to the top of the class if you choose one of the upper trims and add options. The Sport model, for instance, starts at nearly $34,000. The EPA has not yet rated the 2011 Edge. However, the previous model’s base 18/25 mpg city/highway rating is still surpassed by several more affordable competitors.
Other SUVs to Consider

You can save money by considering one of the Edge’s more affordable and efficient competitors. The Toyota Highlander starts at about $1,500 less than the Edge and boasts a higher 20/27 mpg base fuel economy rating. It also offers an optional third row, though that third row is cramped for anyone but children. A drawback is the Highlander’s ho-hum SUV styling, which can’t compete with the Edge’s sleeker looks.

For an even more affordable option, consider the Mazda CX-7. It saves almost $6,000 as compared to the Edge’s base price, and it increases fuel economy even more with a 20/28 mpg base rating. Best of all, it comes with much sportier performance and sleek styling.
Details: Ford Edge

If you're interested in the Edge, also consider buying a 2010 model. You could get a big discount simply because the new and improved 2011 Edge is sitting right next to it on the dealer lot. However, you won’t get all the bells and whistles that come with the 2011 Edge.
