    Key Phob Battery

    Both, Family Dollar and Dollar General have these batteries. These stores seem to be everywhere now. Make sure that you have changed the battery in both key fobs. It may be reading the low battery on the other fob.

    2025 Ford Explorer ST engine dies as soon as I put in gear

    If you contact Ford Customer Service they will give you a free extended warranty, likely with $100 deductible and for 75K miles, bumper to bumper. Sadly my wife decided we had to trade the ST in for an overweight Aviator. At just over 80K miles on my 2020 ST, I really felt all the kinks had been...

    Roof Rails

    If you are going to add the rails, go for the ones from a 2020, which are much nicer in my opinion. After 2020 Ford just went with the rails from the base model Explorer as they are black also.

    Odd behavior after Ford Pass remote start

    When you remote start the ST, be sure that you have the key fob on you when you go to the vehicle or even better, just place the key fob in its holder inside the center console and keep it there.

    Replaced purge valve.

    With the advice of others on here and YouTube, I was able to replace mine with a few walks away and piecing together what others had mentioned. I went with the best that Napa has and feel that their design is better than OEM.

    opinions on totaled 2020 explorer ST

    I would try to look for a 2020 ST with decent mileage and skip fooling with your totaled vehicle.

    Winter warriors?

    Z24's were awesome if you had the 3.1 Ltr V6 engine.

    Remote Start Indication Light

    Try using your phone to start the ST. The app will tell you if it is on or off.

    Build quality

    It helps keep the dealership Service Dept busy. Drop it off, tell them to fix it, and grab the loaner.

    Gone, but not Forgotten

    Yes, it has the Jet Package. Looks like the previous owner had the roof wrapped black. As far as I can tell, you could only get the Black Label edition with the black roof from the factory. Original window sticker shows over $18K in options...crazy.

    Gone, but not Forgotten

    Shoot, the wife decided to move on from our 2020 ST and trade it for a 2022 Lincoln Aviator (Reserve). It was a good run...

    25 ST Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power

    So that I don't have to do a reply to individual posts, just going to do a general reply to all, based on my experience. When you are under warranty, loaners are provided for free by the dealer and on the billing invoice that is transmitted to Ford, as they will reimburse the dealer. Roadside...

    Loss Of Power But No Codes

    This sounds similar to an issue I had with mine early on. It was the throttle body. On mine though the engine light did come on and there were some codes.

    2025 ST Securicode keypad question

    From what I have read, the keypad has returned to being installed at the factory since sometime in November 2024.

    Transmission Fluid Dipstick Option?

    This may be a little extreme, but could there be a trap door made in the floor pan to access the trans dipstick? Back in my Army days we had a truck that was manufactured with this type of door in order to easily check the fluid level.
