My Garage My Ford
JUL
18

started about 16 years ago with a 90 F150 short bed, regular cab, 6 cylinder , little did i know I’d be on my 18th.

some I bought to save,
some I bought because of their condition and not everyone had one like it
but all became a proud Accomplishment

I just turned 60 and fulfilled a “Bucket List” item with the purchase of
my 07 Shelby GT500
But soon found myself needing another project that needed my attention

so the story starts again with #18 a 1964 Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop

I'd like to strongly suggest that the Power Lift gate on the Ford Edge be height adjustable. If you look at other vehicles around the Edge's size and class (for example the Toyota RAV4, Cadilliac SRX Crossover, Ford Explorer and the Kia Sorento just to name a few), all of these vehicles come with this capability already. This remedy would solve problems for quite a few people such as: 1.) for those of us who park our vehicles in the garage, a fully open lift gate would almost certainly hit the top of an open garage door (or the mechanical parts of a closed one) if it isn't parked in a VERY specific spot. I constantly worry about this when I park my new Edge in the garage. If I need to open the lift gate, I always have to pull the vehicle out of the garage at least half way to load the cargo area. In the snow and the rain, this is inconvenient at best! 2.) situations in which someone cannot close the lift gate completely, on a temporary basis, due to longer or larger cargo (such as lumber or a surf board) and that person isn't tall enough to reach the lift gate to pull it down to secure it. With a height adjustable lift gate (such as your Ford Explorer and the other vehicles mentioned have), it does not matter how tall you are... you can still fully utilize your cargo area as you see fit. Since the Ford Explorer already has this feature, I'm sure it would be next to nothing to have this feature added to the Edge; I'm not really sure why it isn't already on the 2013 Edge, but alas. On that note, since the Explorer currently has an adjustable lift gate it tells me that Ford already sees enough benefit in this feature to utilize it on (some) Ford vehicles. Since the lift gate on the Edge Limited models is already electronically controlled, via two buttons inside the vehicle as well as the key fob, it should be quite easy to distribute a software update to remedy this issue. Please, please forward this request to your software development team(s) and ask them to consider it! It would make a world of difference for a lot of Edge owners. Thank You. :o)
