Its "HER" car that we are selling so do i be a nice husband and give her the edge or something like that and me keep my ranger or should i give her the ranger and me the new f150.
It was going to be the f150 but since its her car we are selling..........???

thanks guys

I subscribe to the policy of "when mama is happy, everyone is happy" and would consider getting an Edge for your wife.

Another reason I'd lean toward putting your wife into an Edge over an older Ranger is that I believe the Edge would be far safer in any kind of accident--I assume they have side and curtain airbags, etc, and are a far newer and more crashworthy design than the relatively prehistoric Ranger. I like to have my wife driving the safest possible vehicle in the event that anything ever happens on the road--and with all the distracted drivers out there, there is a lot of potential danger.

Good luck with your choice,
George

Thanks all. We ended up getting the Edge for her and we are averaging around 16-17 right now. She loves it though!

well........sounds like they are not going to buy my wifes car..which is ok i guess since that means i can get a new F-150. But leaves the wife without a 4x4 in the winter.

OR maybe i should trade in her car on the truck? instead of my ranger? I guess i better wait till we find out where she will be working.
