Hello peeps. Long time listener first time caller. I live in the Indianapolis area and recently purchased a 24, 401A, moon roof, tech pack, in Star White. I got a banging deal on it because the dealer caught my trade in on fire as their body shop was repairing it. :LOL::LOL::LOL:.I hope everyone is having a great day.

New very happy owner of 2021 Explorer ST in red. Been wanting one for awhile so been lurking the forums for a little while researching stuff about these. Was torn leasing a new 25 or buying used and knew I wanted 21/22 because of the changes/deletions in the 23/24 which I notice in a black 23 they showed me. Finally had to bite when they presented this near mint 21 with only 13k miles on it for good deal. Bonus was the front windows were already tinted saving me even more money lol.

So far just swapped out the license plate, reverse and rear blinker bulbs with LED. Ordered the 3rd row all weather mat(already had front and second row)and splash guards from ford and will pick them up when my plates come in. Put in a Husky cargo liner and ST tow hitch coverage/plug. Ordered some blackout overlays for the ford emblems. Cheap little changes I wanted to make otherwise car is perfect to me. Torn on and still toying with the idea of black overlays for the ST logos and black lug nuts. In spring want and will hopefully get the ford tune.

Love these forums for info and lots of ideas. Seams like a great community of owners!!

Hey all!! Happy Thanksgiving too! I’m in a new to me 2020 ST that I picked up a couple of months ago. There’s a little over 37k on the clock now and I’ve got a few issues with drivers seat heater and window. Long time Ford guy and Ford family. Just came off of a 2017 Focus RS which I loved. Great car.
Toying with the idea of painting the calipers and ST emblems Nitrous Blue like my RS! Not much to do under the hood unlike the RS which was all CF covers on everything and Mishimoto NB intake and tank with Boomba Racing caps and misc.
Probable upgrades are CatchCan and Intercooler.

Hello and thank you for accepting me to the forum. New to this forum and looking at the difference between getting a 2024 or a new 2025 ST, any thoughts on what would be the best match? Im ready to pull the trigger on ordering a new 2025 and get it the way i want it and now someone else’s mistakes build and get more than i really need. I want a fully decked out to the roof because thats just how i am lol, but I don’t want things that i will never use and pay for !! Any thought on weather i should pull the trigger on a left over 2024 or should i order a 2025 the way i want it and maybe save a few $$$$
Looking at doing a grey on black with the black wheels but i also want to upgrade my BOV and inner cooler but i only see then for the 2024. Anyone know if it will hook up to the 2025 since nothing has changed that i can see? Thanks again for all your guys and gals help. Happy Thanksgiving

If you go for the BOV and Intercooler, add the Catch Can setup as well. It’s not really expensive and is great thing for turbo engines. It’s not a power adder, it’s just a good long term item.

Welcome to the forum! There are a few things you can do under the hood. Things like hood struts, PCM cover, Fenfab charge pipes, Fenfab coolant tank, CAI, intercooler, etc.

Welcome to the forum! I think it will work. Most places have not listed the 25’s yet because their R&D department hasn’t confirmed it yet.

Hey guys, been lurking for a while. I’m a car guy and I have to say there’s a lot of good info on this site. picked up my 25 ST in September. Ordered it in June. I’ve had an 18 a 23 now a 25. I’m quite pleased with it. have just over 3000 miles now.. just finished up the thermal r&d 2 1/2 inch exhaust today. i’ve installed steeda rear sway bar, (I have it set on the stiffest setting) steeda pinion bushings, steeda differential brace. Steeda tower brace. aFe air intake. Oil separator came in yesterday. Probably get around to installing it tomorrow. I think I’m done with upgrades for a while. Did all of them myself in the garage.

Welcome! Sounds like you have a good start. Intercooler is a good upgrade. Stock is very small. But you probably already know that.
