Hey everyone,

I'm Cesar from El Paso, TX. On Friday, June 9th, I purchased a 2023 ST Carbonized Gray Metallic. I feel like a little fat kid waiting for the cake shop to open and here's why. I asked the sales manager if they can deliver the vehicle the same day because I had to travel out of town for work and he said, "Definitively we can". Signed the papers then the manager says, "I can't give you the car yet due to some recalls and since they are SAFETY recalls we are not allowed to let it drive off". He said the parts arrive on Monday the 12th. On Wednesday I texted him to get on update and all I got back was, "Waiting on parts". Right now I have a 2023 Explorer XLT as a loaner...it's BLAH!!! So yeah, anxiously waiting and that's my intro. So now, I'm just scrolling through here and planning all my upgrades.

Hey everyone! So I have been eyeing the exST for a couple years now as my everyday dad family car.
We finally decided to bite the bullet and drop a deposit on a black fully loaded one sitting in a lot and wait for the recall to be resolved. But, luck has it a friend of mine at another dealer called and told me they had a new build rapid red currently shipping to their dealer. So no waiting for recall!
Current arrival estimate is 7th-13th and can’t wait to get my hands on it!

While I wait, I currently drive a 19 mustang gt PP1 and my wife’s car (current family car) a 16 Subaru WRX.

I’ll be looking for some good lightweight wheel options to start if anyone has some good recommendations!

Welcome!!!! So, I'm in the same boat. Purchased mine almost 2 weeks ago, still sitting at the dealership due to the recall.

Good luck on the delivery of your new ST and welcome to the forum.

I'm coming from a 400whp 10th gen Accord and wanted something with comparable power when upsizing. This was the logical best next move. No plans to mod my 2020 A-build to that level (yet), but I've already ordered a couple of small things to make it mine. For clarification, I mean going FBO + turbo swap, etc. on the ST like I did with the Accord - I'm definitely aware of the power the ST makes to the crank/wheel. Already had the pleasure of chatting with one owner in the area (NJ/PA border) and hope to meet more!

Hey guys I am Garrett Collins, just put an order in for a white Ford Explorer st. Set so arrive in approximately 6-8 weeks. Excited to see what upgrades come out for the vehicle and could possibly post mods that I will be doing. The plan as it stands will be to start with audio while I wait for aftermarket performance parts as well as put some mileage on the motor.

Grew up a ford enthusiast from my family. Decided to go back the ecoboost route from a 5.0 f150. Prior to that I had a 12 Taurus sho which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hopefully I’ll say the same for the explorer once it gets here!

I’m new to the ST forum. I ordered a ST the end of March and still waiting. It’s built and still in Chicago waiting for the 360 camera recall to get figured out. I was initially okay with waiting sine I had my knee replaced mid May but now I’m ready to go. Now not sure to canyand get a 2024???
I previously owned two XLT explorers and then bought a Toyota Highlander which is a great vehicle but is boring.
I also own two show cars…1967 mustang and a 1983 GT convertible mustang.

Greetings fellow ST owners!

My name is STeve and I have an addiction..... oh wait wrong forum.

Proud new (to me) owner of a 2020 Rapid Red ST. Came from a 2019 F-150 Lariat, '18 Taurus SEL, and 17' Fusion SE (ok so maybe I do have an addiction). Love every bit of it so far when I got it in April -- already have been messing with FORSCAN stuff and minor appearance "mods". Don't plan to go crazy with performance mods as I do wish to stay in my own house under the grace of the wife. But, you never know.

Pics and posts to come!

Still waiting for delivery on my 2023 ST carbo gray with 401a package, moonroof and tech package. It’s held up due to some shortage most likely the 360 degree camera recall fix. I own two classic mustangs (67 & 83) and belong to MCA (mustang club of America) so I get the x-plan discount thru the membership.
