Welcome Aboard!! Interesting; where do you do most of your performance driving, on road courses or drag racing? Waiting to hear some of your stories also.

Hello from Asheville,
Just replaced our RAV4 with a 2025 Explorer ST in grey, with the S&S package. We have a new baby and a 60lb dog so we needed more space. Loving it on day 3.
* Need recommendations for after market floor mats that aren’t too bulky and potentially cargo organizers.

Hello everyone, I am a first time Explorer owner as well as a first time Ford owner. After doing much research, for what it was that I felt I wanted out of my next car, I just kept coming back to this model (ST). I am very pleased with my 2025 ST.

I am thrilled that the aftermarket is so strong for this vehicle, which was part of my purchase decision process. I was lucky enough to get what I believe to be a "good price" and I was lucky enough to sell my previous vehicle to my UPS guys wife (there's no joke there, but it's a good set up), thus giving me a pretty legit offset.

I have always been a fan of Explorers, for the most part, but damn if there isn't shit that makes me say wtf over and over again.... drivers side window isn't optically correct, neither is the bottom of the windshield, kick panels that dislodge if a mouse farts. Etc ad nauseum blah yadda

I generally buy cars with the intent to turn them over within 3 years at conservative mileage (I have a 2001 S60T5 that I drive the fk out of, so mileage is always low), but this is first car I have had for while where I want to hold on to it and modify almost immediately.

Looking forward to this new chapter. Will add photos soon.

Hello everyone, I recently picked up this '25 ST after owning a "21 XLT and love it so far. I really like the carbonized gray with these new wheels. I have spent some time here lurking and while I agree with the sentiments of the slow loss of features is annoying. So far the ones that aren't in this build (power adjustable steering wheel/rear sun shades) aren't deal breakers for me. I actually didn't even need to adjust the steering column adjustment from how it came from the factory. The loss of the ST logo on the key fob, and the console tray delete really did annoy me though.

I will eventually do some of the recommended upgrades, intercooler, diff brace etc. but for now, since I don't really have the opportunity drive it hard it will be fine as stock.

For the pictures or it didn't happen crowd, here she is.
