I have the same year, make and model, over 200,000 miles. I have traveled all over the world in it and outside of a few suspension issues and regular maintenance, it’s still running great.
Thanks for adding your experience!
As an owner of both a 2011 Ford Edge Limited and a 2013 Lincoln MKX, I get to experience the best of both worlds. The Edge has been my daily and absolutely love it! The MKX definitely is more for the bells and whistles and the far more speedy ride. Overall a very fancy Edge and I love that I get to have fun with both!
Thanks for adding your ownership experience!
What about what’s important? Ride quality and NVH?? Didn’t don’t hear you mention that and the edge is very very well equipped I can’t imagine the Lincoln having much more . What does it do as a LUXURY car?
@@Natethegreat200cIf you are asking me, based on my model year Edge and MKX, there is a noticeable difference in both when it comes to NVH and and ride quality. The MKX handles a lot better and the cabin is a lot quieter especially with the SoundScreen windshield. In terms of more luxury, the MKX has ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel which definitely get used all the time. The seats overall are more comfortable. There are a few other differences but aren’t as important or crucial between the two but overall it is a better bargain versus the Edge. End of the day, I love both.
I bought a 2008 Ford Edge in 2019 with 128k miles. almost at 200k miles and still drives like the day I bought it. ac still works, no oil leaks, no antifreeze leaks, literally nothing wrong with it
Thanks Bernie! I’m currently looking at these as well! I currently have a Mercury, grand Marquis, and it has been the best car I’ve ever had hands-down. But it’s a little too senior citizen for me. And even the senior citizens now don’t drive them anymore lol. Good to know about the water pump, thank you for that otherwise, I’m assuming these cars are much underrated and pretty dependable… As Fords tend to be.
You’re welcome! Yes, they are not flawless, but they are pretty solid. Lincoln pretty much just fancied up the inside but not the mechanicals, so they are no less reliable and no more expensive to fix any of the mechanicals.
That's A very true and wise decision to me I'm a fan of lincoln thanks for the video
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I have a 09 I bought from original owner at 160k miles. She was hard on the car. I've got 207k on It now, Ive replaced all 4 wheel bearings, both front struts (needs them again already since they are aftermarket), both lower control arms, tie rod ends, it needs a new driver side CV joint when I replace struts again, replaced one cracked wheel, replaced drive shaft (carrier was shot, non serviceable) $400, dropped trans fluid twice (has always shifted hard in reverse). Change engine oil every 4k and doesn't burn any. Currently trouble shooting fuel system vacuum issue (check engine code and gas cap light). Replaced wire harness for heated/cooled seats, still doesn't work on drivers side, going to replace the circuit board soon (common ford issue). Ive replaced all spark plugs and other normal maintenance as well. Car is cozy to drive being AWD, doesn't feel like it has the HP it's rated for, but gets me from A to B. Fuel mileage in Michigan is 18 ish city and best of 22 mpg on highway in summer (could be poor due to my fuel system vacuum issue). Oh, and replaced all three motor mounts.
Sounds like it did have a bit of a hard life. It’s hard to get past that sometimes. Good for you for staying on top of the repairs thought. If you let the problems pile up it’s very hard to catch up later. Hope you have the worst behind you!

Looking a 2013 MKX today. Are they good?
Did u have any idling issue when the a/c is on?
@@happyplanet6711 No, still have the car and have no issues related to that. Maybe bad clutch in your AC condenser? Just a guess.
Absolutely love my MKX 💙👍 Beast of the Beasts
What year do you have
@@candieschonauer4083 2008
@@candieschonauer4083 exactly same look as in this video but with silver front grill
2010 loaded Mkx,pearl white
I’m looking at an 08 model. It has 151k miles on it but looks well maintain. I’m gonna test drive it tomorrow this video coupled with me preparing to buy a warranty on it. This finna be my next car I might also do all black with the grill too 🤔🤔👀👀👀
Hope it turn out to be as nice as expected!! Best of luck with the purchase!
Same fuel economy as 2011 and newer 3.5 V6 Ford Explorer and 3.5 V6 Ford Flex. If getting the 2.0 I4 ecoboost Explorer, it is rated at 20 city, 28 highway for FWD. 2013 Ford Taurus FWD with the 2.0 I4 ecoboost. drove it 300 miles and it got 34 MPG, mostly interstate driving. It's rated 32 highway by the EPA. Many compact 4 cylinders cars will do the same, maybe even a bit worse or better depending on the gearing and drag coefficient
Biggest potential issues with this model:
1) failure of water pump
2) PTU
What is PTU?
@@outsideabreupower transfer unit.
Not an issue. 15 K miles change PTU fluid with RedLine oil. Water Pump. No issue. Change coolant every 30k miles. Synthetic oil engine 4K miles.
@@christophergeorge8800I guess I'm lucky, bought a 2008 with 128k miles in 2019. almost at 200k and nothing is wrong with it. no leaks of any kind. no failure of any kind and check engine came on for coil packs. that's it. but if that water pump goes, so does the car lol
I definitely will get one I'm looking at one now saving up for it 😅 now
👍
And ... halogen headlights are turning same direction as a steering wheel!
Also try to start it infront of the mirror and you see how bulbs inside headlights are turning left and right when you start the vehicle! Pretty cool
Im currently thinking between buying a 2007 MKX with 138k miles for 6K and a 2011 MKS with 62k miles for 10K do you have any advice with which one i should go with
If the budget allows, I'd go with the newer one, but both sound like good options.
Thank you for the review. (Greetings from the Donetsk People's Republic)
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!!
How many miles you think these things would go before the engine starts conking out
If we’ll maintained, way more than most people would think. It’s very hard to put a number on it. My wife drives an ‘09 flex with the same engine and it has 250K miles on it. The water pump started leaking so that has to be replaced but the motor runs great and does not consume oil. These motors are very easy on oil. Even at 5K miles after an oil change it still looks very clean.
500K easy
Just change water pump and timing kit
I have the 2008 ford edge awd it has 319,000 runs amazing. Only major repair is transmission replaced and pto
@@jerryfitz2002 that’s impressive Jerry! Keep that thing on the road as long as possible!!
It's the midnight limited edition..they have the black grills
Great to know! Thanks!!
At the dealership I work at we have an 2010 Lincoln MKX with 75k miles wondering if it worth it and one owner
If it appears to be well cared for, there should be many, many miles of life left in it.
Getting my wife a 2013 MKX
I agree, the facelift is much better. But the Lincoln butchered the seats in the newer version. Not even close to the first gen, these seats are like thrones and chunky. Newer seats are rounded and flat with no special color combo or piping.
I didn’t know that about the newer ones. This gen definitely has great seats.
I’m thanking of buy one
And let me tell u the thing I’m seeing I like
@@ssjsmoky they are very likable vehicles.
Hey I’m about to buy one tomorrow I believe it has 96,000 miles on it and they are asking 15k…is this a go or no?? Thanks!
@@aJ_viDZ585 , I’d love to give you a really specific yes or no, but there are a lot of variables. If it’s in good shape (and at 96K miles it should be), then check local comparables and make sure this one is priced fairly.
Hope that helps!
Does the engine run loud while it idles?
No, it idles very quiet.
@@bennieaust I was looking at one recently and it soundly like a baby diesel engine. So I guess it needs some work. 🙃
@@Mingley01 yeah, I’d run from that one!
@@bennieaust Your years of hands-on knowledge is appreciated.
@@Mingley01 happy to help! Much better to deliver bad new before a purchase and not after!
I have the black grill
I have the 2008 limited edition
@@Zac-jp5li nice! They look so much better!
Once that water pump goes bad 1800$ fix smh no thank you
That’s actually a very reasonable cost for a water pump on one of these. When I bought this MKX it needed a water pump and the previous owner was quoted almost $4,000. $4,000 is ridiculous.
The stupid water pump repair (an over $2000 cost) makes the MKX not a viable choice, unfortunately.
It definitely needs to be calculated in to the equation. Terrible design.
The back seat belts look like the Ford edge seatbelts😂
It's could be beautiful car that runs great. Unfortunately the so called mechanic that sold us the 07 had no idea what he was doing. My husband has done so much work to fix it and it's 10x better than it was when he bought it from a mechanic with his own shop. 🤭
Sorry to hear that. It's always tricky buying a used car because even the best cars can be bad ones if they haven't been cared for correctly. I hope it treats you well!
Здравствуйте! Скажите пожалуйста в чём может быть причина, когда на скорости 30 миль в час начинается небольшая вибрация, после на скорости 35 миль в час прекращается? Точков, рывков в коробке передач нет. Может ли это быть из-за дроссельной заслонки?
Я бы начал с того, чтобы убедиться, что шины сбалансированы и есть проблемы с шинами (например, разделительные корды). Затем я бы проверил шаровые опоры и рулевые тяги, чтобы убедиться, что все затянуто. Также могут быть проблемы с PTU (раздаточной коробкой), но обычно это больше похоже на неисправный ступичный подшипник и может не вызывать вибрации. Надеюсь, это поможет!
@@bennieaust нет, эта вибрация не из-за колёс или подвески, а именно на 3 передаче! Если ускорятся, то этого не происходит.
Тогда я не уверен, что колеса, шины, подвеска, рулевое управление и карданные валы в значительной степени соответствуют моим ожиданиям. Если бы это была вибрация «на дроссельной заслонке», это могло бы быть пропуском зажигания, но, как вы заявили, это не так.
@@texnik-ms у меня были зимние шины, которые вибрировали и шумели только на 90кмч. Ниже или выше этой скорости все было ОК... Я бы попробовал подкинуть другие колеса и ещё раз проверить
@@Subjohny Вибрация не в руль, а какая-то внутренняя как будто коробка передач... Спасибо за ответ, как вариант!
