Yeah, I picked the Edge I have right now over an XLT. The only big difference in the interior I found was an XLT had power and carpet. The Edge had tilt wheel and cruise control standard. But the exterior is where it cought my eye. Color coded bumpers, 4x4 stance, aggresive hood. But thats just how I picked, someone else might love the interior options and not care for the exterior ones all that much.
