your right foot seems to get heavier.

That and the price of premium fuel is so high.

I know depending how hot/cold it gets where you live, the screen will be affected (black out). Just take the unit with you during days like these, and keep it in a controlled climate.

My bank account is about $340 less. That is the only negative

The Edge makes it feel like you just put a shift kit in it.

Well the better shifting tranny should help fuel mileage...no?...that's (if) you keep your foot out of it.

Everything about the Edge is great. You don't need to take the unit inside when it gets cold. When it's cold and you haven't started the truck for a while, the battery fails to produce a constant 12 volts to the Edge and the screen may not display anything. All you do is unplug the cable and plug it back in and your back in business.
