Road Trip Problems Solved

Road trips are time-honored ways to spend time with loved ones—our most recent California excursion to Palm Springs is a great example. But sometimes they can go awry. Here’s how to help make your road trip go as smoothly as possible—with the help of the 2017 Edge Sport.

Problem: You could get lost.
Solution: Plan ahead and ask for help—from SYNC^®3.

No one wants to find out their shortcut is actually a dead end. Before you set off, make sure you have a plan and are aware of any detours or construction. The voice-activated SYNC® 3* interface in the 2017 Edge Sport can help keep you on your route, and help you find attractions nearby—so you and your human co-pilot can relax and enjoy the ride.

Problem: Road trips can be hazardous for both you and your vehicle.
Solution: Put safety first.

Don’t let your fun times fall flat. The 2017 Edge Sport can help you avoid car trouble with its Individual Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor^®. But just in case things do get hairy, don’t forget to bring along a first-aid kit, flashlights, flares and plenty of bottled water.

Problem: Things can get messy—quick.
Solution: Get organized.

The spacious interior of the 2017 Edge Sport makes it easy to keep things organized on long journeys. There’s a place for just about everything, with eight cupholders, an overhead console with a holder for sunglasses, and front seat back map pockets; plus the Second Row EasyFold^® Seats can give you up to 73.4 cu. ft. of cargo space. Keep stress levels low by making everything easy to find and your environment clutter-free.

Problem: Hours of driving can get boring and tense.
Solution: Stay entertained and in good spirits.

Rock to your favorite road-trip playlist on the 12-Speaker Audio System from Sony^®—standard on the 2017 Edge Sport. Even on the longest of hauls, there’s no reason to worry about boredom when your vehicle has hours of entertainment just a second away on SiriusXM^® Radio. And change the vibe with the available programmable seven-color ambient lighting. Because as we’ve learned from Ford design engineer Arun Kumar, a simple switch in lighting can set the mood.

Problem: Long drives can be isolating.
Solution: Stay connected.

For safety and sanity, make sure you know the ins and outs of your wireless provider’s coverage and roaming options on the road. Then make sure you keep your devices charged and ready. For anything from an emergency call to a quick photo shoot at a scenic overlook, the 2017 Edge Sport offers four standard 12-volt powerpoints—so everyone can keep their devices fully powered over the long ride.


Problem: The “road” part of road trips can feel like a drag.
Solution: Take it all in.

It’s easy for the destination to become the focus of a long trip, so remember to enjoy the journey. The 2017 Edge Sport offers an available large panoramic Vista Roof^®, perfect for taking in the scenery. And the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System, adaptive steering, sport-tuned suspension and monotube shocks mean you can leave the highway without leaving your smooth ride behind.
