2018 Ford Edge Titanium 2.0L AWD SUV // review, walk around, and test drive // 100 rental cars

[@100RentalCars]

Only 4 more rentals to go until #100! Any thoughts on what I should call the channel after 100? 200 Rental Cars? 1,000 Rental Cars? Or just leave the name?

[@jeremyshearer3885]

100 Rental Cars 200 rental cars would be cool I think!

[@gene978]

Honest Rental Car Reviews. Or, Rental Car Reviews. My thought on the Fords that I have seen is way to much Hard Plastics. That dash looked like Hard Plastic too. Love your channel.

[@100RentalCars]

Oooh I like "Rental Car Reviews", I hadn't considered removing the number completely.

[@gene978]

100 Rental Cars But then again the Number Means Something and it has a lot of Attention getting Grab from New Potential Viewers. Going to 200 then 500 means Constant name change. Unless, you do 1000 Rental Cars and that would surely hold you over for a while.

[@nickr3441]

New name IMO. I would also invest in a better camera.not sure if this is long term for you or if you do this for money but if it's for money I would invest and grow your channel if for pleasure just keep doing what you're doing

[@noblecollins9549]

I just got my 2018 Edge in May 2023 with 90K km and in great shape for 19000 Canadian dollars and I'm loving it

[@johnmantis5959]

I find myself watching your video and enjoying it very much, I don’t know why I am watching it because I have the same car 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with about 72.000 miles. My wife and I enjoining this car from the day we purchased it, I was very lucky to find it in our local Ford dealership at November 2018 used with 26.000 and I paid $29.000. Our last payment is due on December this year and I am happy to say we had no problems as yet. I was questioning the high mileage on it since the car went in service on December 2017 but since we’re retired we driving it very conservative.😊😊😊

[@odmack09]

Great review. I just purchased this vehicle minus the sunroof. I love this vehicle.

[@rochellerochelle8398]

Your voice is soothing asf! Wow. You should record audio books. It's so soothing and smooth..that if you were the pilot of a plane that was about to crash..folks onboard wouldn't even feel bad about it after hearing your voice over the intercom. Great video too.

[@100RentalCars]

Hahaha, thanks!

[@unicaalae]

The most underrated youtuber ever. Keep up the great reviews and detailed ones. One day you will get there. Thank you

[@100RentalCars]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@sam1024a]

Great video! I loved the section on performance and driving impressions, just wished it had been longer. Cheers!

[@mojorisin7371]

You have a very soothing voice and would be great as an anchorman for the news or weather. Good reviews, I find it relaxing listening to you reviewing vehicles 👍

[@100RentalCars]

Thanks!

[@rockford2523]

Thanks for the recognition! You do a great job with a real world owners perspective! Rent another 💯 cars.

[@100RentalCars]

You're welcome! And thanks again for the kind words!

[@richardmcfadden5549]

Just purchased one of these 100% 👍 on the Isle of Bute Scotland

[@nightracerx]

FYI you drove the 3.5L V6 not 2.0t, that’s a V6 under the hood and the turbocharged 4 cylinder would have ecoboost badge in the back.

[@JoseRodriguezFrio]

Mine has the badge and this thing is fast!

[@johndraver5763]

Good observation, nightracerx. Now I know why there is no start/stop shutoff switch.

[@JulioCNY]

@@JoseRodriguezFrio do you recommend the ecoboost 4 cylinder or the V6 Engine 6 Cylinder for the 2018 Ford Edge ??

[@parkerburgio]

If, in a while, you get tired of rental cars and have a lot of subs, you could also do videos where you review new cars from dealers. I really like the rental car idea, but if you want to expand I think that would be a good idea. If you start doing that you should definitely keep your same down-to-earth, non-technical approach. Keep doing what you’re doing! I was so excited that you had a new video up. Can’t wait for 💯!🎉

[@100RentalCars]

I started with rental cars, because I get them through work. Usually about two a week. But I like the idea of approaching dealers, I just don't think I have enough subs to get a good response yet. Hopefully soon, I just have to figure out HOW to approach a dealer.

[@parkerburgio]

100 Rental Cars sounds good! 👌🏻

[@jvlag3]

kind of amazing that it looked likes a 3.5L V6 vs the 2.0L turbo motor .... plus no ecoboost badging.

[@parkerburgio]

Although your videos are awesome, if you had someone helping you out and upped your production quality, you’d probably get a lot of new subs. Don’t get me wrong, you’re channel right now is great. Ik it’s hard to find an assistant.

[@JBM425]

Don't forget he is renting these while mostly on business trips, so he may not have anyone along for the ride.

[@chrisshepherd8848]

This was a pleasure to watch as I’m considering getting one of these. Thanks!

[@flipfloplogic]

Great review as always. You offer what I would call an honest mans review. Its not super technical. There isn't a huge list of data plastered across the video like I see some reviewers do. You don't talk about the competition to the particular vehicle you're covering. All those things are ok but I appreciate that you don't do it. You talk to us as if you're explaining information to a friend and not like you prepared everything beforehand. I think you have to change the name. How long has it taken you to reach 100? I would change it to 200. Its a realistic goal. If its 1000 then I assume it could be years before you rent the last car and a lot can happen during that time. You may decide to move on to something else or whatever. A goal of 200 is far enough to be a stretch but doesn't look impossible.

[@100RentalCars]

Thanks for the kind words! I actually tried to sound all technical early on, but it just made me seem like I was pretending. 200 Rental Cars? Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards. It should take me another 2 years to reach that. As for making it to 100, that'll happen in exactly 4 weeks! I'm still working on getting something fun (aka expensive) for my 100th review...if I can afford it.

[@paulbaragona]

We currently own a 2013 Edge SEL AWD and are planning to buy a 2018 Titanium before the end of the year. Our current vehicle has the same transmission and drive train as this #96 test model. They all drive exceptionally well and we are looking forward to the increase in mileage since our model has the 3.8L V6 which has some real passing power but maybe a little too much for someone approaching 80. The turbo 4 will be enough for us!! Your in depth review clinched our decision to buy sooner than later. Thanks.

[@tornikejojikaishvili5111]

Which is the best engine on these cars 2.0 2.7 3.5?

[@readmore3634]

Great review! I just bought a brand new 2018...it had been ordered but the buyer never bought it...( ?? ) Fortunate for me it had everything I wanted. All wheel drive, 2.0 EcoBoost drive train. (5 speed auto) Glad it was not the Titanium but has the Sport Appearance pkg: no chrome and very nice charcoal 19" rims. Really nice floor liners that actually will hold spilled liquids. Heated seats (Wish it had the cooling seats) and my wife and I really like the heated steering wheel! Feels nice on a cold day. FYI Did you know the rear seats recline too? And yes, much more leg room than the Escape...one of the main reasons we sold our Acura RDX....it was more of a sports car. If you have any plumbing questions...I'm your guy...thanks!

[@guilhermesoares3812]

I'm about to buy a 2018 Titanium 2.0 turbo with 100,000 miles on it. do you think it's a good deal?

[@willmatic84]

It's a nice SUV 😙👌

[@100RentalCars]

Agreed! Nice emoji skills by the way.

[@willmatic84]

100 Rental Cars thanks man 🙂👊 I subbed your channel Also I found your channel from the 2018 caravan se vid I own a 2014 caravan sxt I also have a channel of your interested in motorcycles I am just a motovlogger

[@100RentalCars]

Thanks for the kind words and the sub. A motovlogger? Sounds cool. I'll check out your stuff tonight.

[@BTC909]

Have the intake valves cleaned & install an oil catch can. Otherwise forget any EcoBoost that doesn't have port & direct fuel injection.

[@moniquen.johnson1023]

THANK YOU..I PICK MINE UP SOON!

[@Wojez]

Waiting for 100's rental car review) May be you should do something special for this review? Some kind of celebration? Unusual review? Retro car? I don't really know, but anyway it would be great!

[@100RentalCars]

I was planning/hoping to review something special/expensive, but it's turning out to be more difficult than I thought it would be. I like the idea of doing something unusual...I'll give it some more thought. Thanks!

[@nickr3441]

BTW, the edge is getting a redesign for 2019, don't know if it's out by now. Try to get it

[@100RentalCars]

Really? I've been thinking about contacting my local car dealers to see if they'll let me film some of their cars. I could definitely get a 2019 that way. But, my channel is still super small, so I'm not sure how they'll respond.

[@disneyfan9099]

Oceanic Flight It is not out yet.

[@jeremyshearer3885]

I think you do pretty good on doing your videos I do think it would be cool if you had a Drone to do some overhead shots! And the Ford Edge is a nice suv but I like the escape better just the right size for me keep up the good work!👍🏻

[@100RentalCars]

A drone! That sounds awesome. I would like to add some shots of the car driving, but right now it's just me doing these videos so that's tough. Early on, I tried to set my camera up on a tripod so I could drive by it, but it ended up looking ridiculous. What I need is an assistant! Know anyone who will work for free, can be available at a moment's notice, and lives in Chicagoland? ;)

[@ALEX-sh3tx]

Jeremy Shearer I like the escape but the rear seat is a little small

[@taylorroush4338]

I wish ford gave the edge titanium some better rims since it is the fully loaded version.

[@100RentalCars]

Agreed. These did seem a bit dirty, so they might look slightly nicer cleaned up. Guess Ford has to cut costs somewhere, right?

[@taylorroush4338]

I’m glad they’re putting this ancient thing to rest. You should check out the 2019 edge! Looks way better. Hopefully you can review it when it comes out 👌🏻

[@readmore3634]

Ford offered 19" Magnetic Metallic PDT wheels.....like stainless black...they look great against my Blue Metallic body paint and sport pkg (no chrome/silver) darkened trim. www.autorimshop.com/ford-flex-2019-20-oem-wheel-rim-194946.html?S%26O+%7C+Low+Priority+%7C+High+Bids+%7C+Desktop&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_acc=1616772338&hsa_cam=6526285163&hsa_ad=383971688536&hsa_grp=84021100488&hsa_ver=3&hsa_kw=&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=pla-843936409564&gclid=CjwKCAiAp5nyBRABEiwApTwjXi9qDmjphJzcSdVexVBKdXlbp_vd_chx5M9UBlTCbHHA6Jw-OzZT8xoCCRgQAvD_BwE

[@HALWG51]

I am not a fan of the ford climate control system embedded in the touch screen. I had the exact same set up in a Ford Explorer and it really sucks when you want to change things.

[@ALEX-sh3tx]

HALWG51 which trim?

[@100RentalCars]

Amen. Strange design choice too, considering there's so much room surrounding the SONY logo.

[@HALWG51]

BTW, golf clubs will not fit across the trunk. They have to go in on an angle. 4 sets are next to impossible. That was a deal breaker for me.

[@100RentalCars]

4 sets of clubs? Yowza. What do you drive now? An Expedition? Suburban?

[@BTC909]

Reset the MPG when you get the rental & advise on what the computer is "claiming" at the end of the rental. Number of miles driven & guesstimate the City / Highway percentages.

[@100RentalCars]

Great idea Ivan. I'll give it a try with my next rental. Lately I've been getting Ford Edges and Toyota Rav4s - cars I've already reviewed - so I haven't anything interesting to share.

[@BTC909]

According to www.fuelly.com with the 2.0L since 2013 this only gets 20-21 MPG.

[@100RentalCars]

Really? I usually get my mpg details direct from the manufacturer's website. Now I'm thinkin' that's not a good idea. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out for my next review.

100 rental cars i have had the privilege to rent the Lincoln mkc from enterprise and i didn’t like it, it was a bit sluggish it didn’t have enough space for my luggage i was originally supposed to rent a Mustang convertible but it didn’t have any space for my luggage whether the top was up or down so enterprise upgraded me to an mkc and since there wasn’t really anything available so they said i can come back to the airport location and exchange for an edge.

[@danicosanchez1667]

Can you probably rent a Chevrolet Traverse 2018+ model?

[@100RentalCars]

Sure! I can't guarantee I'll get one this week, but I'll try my best to get a review up soon. It all depends on what's available at my local Enterprise.

[@danicosanchez1667]

Thank you for considering my request. Goodluck to reaching the 100th rental car!

[@100RentalCars]

You bet. And thanks!

[@disneyfan9099]

Danico Sanchez My local Avis outside of Chicago has had a ton of 2018 Traverse Premiers.

[@TheEricZ]

Do the back seats recline?

[@trentonhull5972]

Ford never fails, but I typically like Chrysler made cars. Great video as always...I like to see that the stars have returned! Maybe do a “yes or no” followed by the stars...good job!!!👍

[@JoseRodriguezFrio]

The climate control was right there, you can adjust fan,temp,auto,on/off,defrost front and rear without doing anything on the touch screen

[@alexutley3843]

which car rental company do you use?

[@100RentalCars]

Almost always Enterprise.

[@alexutley3843]

100 Rental Cars Okay, cool.

[@saisanlin9275]

Good car

[@patricktravelandcarvlogs680]

100 rental cars have you ever rented a Lincoln mkc and if so what do you think of it?

[@100RentalCars]

Not yet. Only the Navigator and the MKZ. I LOVED them both, so I'm guessing I'd like the MKC as well. Unfortunately, you don't see many MKCs on the rental car lots, so I'm not sure I'll be getting one anytime soon. Are you thinking of getting one soon?

[@patricktravelandcarvlogs680]

100 Rental Cars i have renteda ram 1500 that was because my grand cherrokee had a recall i loves the ram and even want to buy but my main issue is that the ram doesn’t fit too well in my driveway so it extends partially into the street when it’s parked in my driveway so in the three weeks that i have had my hoa has been harrasing me about the truck not fitting in my driveway the have fined and they even called a tow truck to tow the vehicle but I stopped them.

[@patricktravelandcarvlogs680]

100 Rental Cars no I didn’t like it i have a 2013 jeep grand cherrokee laredo 3.6 v6 but i am thinking of trading it in for a jeep grand cherrokee limited with the 5.7 hemi that’s because i need to tow a boat an my gf doesn’t want to get a pickup truck that’s because not many pickups fit in my driveway except for an f150 so I thought i’ll just get an f150 but she said no because the hoa already wrote me letters about having the ram as a rental for three weeks because it doesn’t fit in my driveway.

[@100RentalCars]

Yeah, the RAM 1500 is really big. It's fun to drive for a day or two, but it's just too impractical for a daily driver. At least for me.

[@100RentalCars]

I love the Grand Cherokee. I say go for it. I think you'll be really happy with it. 👍

[@daviddebergh254]

Great car with amazing features. Also you could read a cereal box and it would be enjoyable.

that "metal stick" is called a prop

[@100RentalCars]

No kidding? Thanks! I've actually gone to the library and looked online for books/guides to help me with all the vocab, but I can't find anything good. Where did you learn this stuff?

[@2aminitials]

I think some are marked on the hole in the hood, such as "prop go here" by the hole.

[@100RentalCars]

Really? Well now I feel dumb for missing that. But what about all the other stuff? It took me like 10 videos to figure out the gauge cluster is not a "heads up display".

[@2aminitials]

Ha, don't feel dumb, it's easy to overlook the writing on the hood.

[@tbecherrypicker4700]

It is called a prop rod.

[@saisanlin9275]

Yes

[@philgjetman25]

What rental car company is this one from?

[@100RentalCars]

Hey Phillip! Usually Enterprise.

[@jeepguy95]

These are neat SUV's. I have an Explorer Limited this week from Avis. It's a great SUV, though gas mileage isn't as good as my Grand Cherokee, and the 390-watt Sony sound system is unimpressive, probably because the amplifier isn't meant for surround sound. My Grand Cherokee has a 506-watt Alpine sound system, and it sounds awesome compared to the one in my rental Explorer. I really want to try out an Edge once though! :)

[@100RentalCars]

I've never had an Explorer. I see them all the time on the rental car lots, but I never get one for some reason. Sounds like it could be fun. Are you renting for a work trip? Or is your Cherokee on the shop?

[@jeepguy95]

We have it for a family trip for a week. Didn't want to put the mileage on the Jeep. Got it for a good price from Avis for the week since I'm an Avis Preferred Member. You should get one (an Explorer Limited) if you get a chance/pick. I really, really wanted a Sport model with the 3.5TT EcoBoost V6, but they gave me the Limited with the standard non-turbo 3.5L V6. Still good, as my only requirement was having leather like my Grand Cherokee, since we were driving it a long distance.

[@100RentalCars]

I've seen a few Explorers on the lot lately, although I'm not sure they were Limited trim levels (I didn't look very closely). I'll ask for one when I return this weeks rental. If I'm lucky, I'll have one in a week or two.

[@100RentalCars]

And good luck on your trip!

[@jeepguy95]

Enterprise does either XLT's or Limiteds... think Avis does the Sport and Limited... I was really hoping for the Sport, but the Limited is still cool. I will warn you that the regular 3.5L in the XLT and Limited isn't as good on gas as the EcoBoost in the Sport... our Expedition EL with the EcoBoost we had for our family trip last year got better gas mileage than our Explorer we have on the trip this year... we've had to put gas in 3 times this week. Can't wait to see/hear your thoughts on the Explorer! The Grand Cherokee (not Cherokee) Limited is also a good rental. We love ours, although we wish we had the cooled seats like Enterprise gets. At least we have the 20" wheels!

[@timothygreen1206]

Based on the video, your rental was equipped with the 3.5 V6 not the 2.0 Ecoboost. Video is otherwise great. Nice job.

[@hammeedhammeed4164]

[@nickr3441]

$1000 for a plug? No wonder car companies are making record profits. Not a fan of sun roof. What do they even do but maybe give you sun burn? Not even sure I'd take it if it was free.

[@100RentalCars]

You do get more for $1000 than just the plug. It also includes remote start, "voice-activated touchscreen Nav with pinch to zoom capability" AND the plug. ...yeah, now that I type it out that does seem a bit pricey. Oh well. And you wouldn't even take the sunroof if it was free?!? OUCH. I feel your pain about the sun burn, it doesn't take much to turn me bright pink.

[@nickr3441]

100 Rental Cars IMO they are more of a problem then a luxury. Why would you want a sun beating down on you? And they eventually leak water.

[@disneyfan9099]

Oceanic Flight Well you close it on hot days.

[@100RentalCars]

I guess I like it for the "wow" factor. But, I do agree it's a bit over priced. I had one on a Honda Accord I owned a few years ago and I rarely open it up. Maybe twice a year? Thankfully we sold that car before the roof could give us any problems.

[@nickr3441]

100 Rental Cars the way I see it. They are charging you $1800 to cut a hole in a roof and put a peice of glass.... I could understand if you did alot of desert driving and were sleeping in your car and wanted to look at the stars, but people dont.

[@cjandsara1]

Thats a 3.5 v6 under the hood

[@frisk0balla]

Not to sound like a douche, but that’s a V6..
