Yesterday, I towed the RV to a consignment shop. Today, the truck was traded in for a new Ford Edge ST. Awesome that they went away on consecutive days.
The Edge is a medium sized SUV with all the bells and whistles. It has darned few knob-type controls, most things done by touching the HUGE flat screen in the mid front dashboard. I never did learn all the electronic gizmos in the truck, doubt I will in the Edge either. And, get this: the gear shift is not on the floor nor on the steering wheel shaft. Nope, it's 2" dial on the center console!
I've owned pickups for 50 years, was planning to buy a new 1/4 ton this time. Trish asked me why I wanted a truck, and what I would haul with it. I thought about it for a few minutes, finally said, "Guess I don't really need a truck."
Consumers Reports has been my big-ticket-purchase-bible forever, and they gave the Edge high marks.
With high temps in the 90s, I hope I can figure out how to turn on the A/C tomorrow.
