I am a Ford fan here in Houston, Texas and looking for a truck based SUV to replace my old truck. I’ve read some news releases about the 2008 Ford Edge. What difference does this Truck-based SUV has against other Ford SUVs?

I was able to do a test drive for the 2008 Ford Edge last month since I was also looking for an efficient SUV. The test drive lasted for about 2 hours on Houston, Texas freeways. I can describe the Ford Edge as a midsize crossover sport utility that runs on fuel economy and its road manners is better than that of a traditional truck based SUV. It has an all wheel drive and offers a large cargo space. It is also much easier to control and has full independent suspension. With a large cargo space, the back seats in the Edge are roomier than those in the Explorer, a benefit of its design. Being a midsize crossover, it is considered a competitor with the Nissan Murano, Toyota Highlander and CUVs, all of which are larger than their slippery styling suggests.

I also find the Ford Edge roomy and comfortable with fully foldable seats for big cargo carrying. The drive is really awesome, with good performance from a modern V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. I am actually raising my own funds to buy this SUV probably by December. I was already able to get a good car insurance policy from this web page that is perfect for the 2008 Ford Edge.
