Taurus SHO, Flex Limited ECOBOOST, Fusion Sport AWD...all great choices...
The Edge, while Gucci inside and nice looking overall, I felt the stock brakes were far overburdened by the weight of the vehicle, especially at highway speed. I also felt that you really had to work the engine and transmission to make it move with a sense of urgency (this was compared to a GMC Envoy Denali with the 5.3L V8 we test drove on the same day).
I think an Escape Limited might be worth looking at, or, if you can wait, the next Gen Explorer is coming out in the near future...
