    windshield replacement - go with Ford? or aftermarket?

    It's most likely buildup on the inside of the windshield. Get a mixture of 50/50 water and isopropyl alcohol 70% for your cleaning solution and a waffle weave MF towel. You might have to do multiple passes to get it clean. Do it for the inside and outside of the windshield, always using a clean...

    Front center storage cover

    An easier solution is to just buy the gloss black or carbon fiber center console covers you can find on Amazon.

    2025 Explorer ST Experience is live

    Yes, Captain Obvious over there lol.... Of course, the experience is great and fun. Just sucks that not only has the Explorer ST been losing features over the years, but now the black ST badges are no longer given at the event. It was like a badge of honor for attending, and you could tell who...

    Impressions - Picked up new 2025 ST from a 2023 ST

    Second Row Center Console - Aftermarket Options

    Hello, We're going on a few road trips this year, and I have been trying to find something that has a perfect fit in the ST for a second-row center console. I see a few on Amazon, but I'm curious if anyone here has tried one. My 2020 had the center console, which my daughter used all the time...

    Impressions - Picked up new 2025 ST from a 2023 ST

    2020 and 2021 were the best years for the ST regarding features. I miss a lot of the little features my 2020 had, and my 2022 is missing. Hopefully, the next refresh brings major changes and brings back some of these removed features. So far, I don't see myself going back to another ST after...

    2200 mile trip in the ST

    The ST is the perfect road trip vehicle! With my current ST, we have taken it from IL to Galveston, TX. This year, we are going to be doing a one-week National Park trip, and I estimate that we will travel 3,500 miles in total for that trip. Then, for the Christmas holiday, we will be driving...

    Thermal 3” rattle

    Found a piece of pretty thin wall rubber hose line. Cut it down the middle and slid it over the hanger bar and got it between the bracket. Zip tied it in place and rattle is gone. Hopefully buys me time or permanent solution lol..

    Thermal 3” rattle

    Any tips or certain instructions to follow when doing the adjustments? I had a shop install my exhaust last fall. I just started to get the rattling noise on deceleration, and when I went to go look, it is touching the green part and I can simulate the rattle by moving the muffler on that side.

    Leaking oil?

    The same thing happened with my 2020 ST. I went for an oil change, and they noticed a leak of some kind and told me to bring it back. I went on vacation and came back to an oil spot on the garage floor. I took it in, and they replaced the seal. It was covered under the powertrain warranty as well.

    Leaking oil?

    TSB does not mean it is automatically covered under warranty. It is just documented as a known issue and if the vehicle is under warranty, then it is covered. They will replace the seal only if it's just leaking and not throwing a code.

    What grade of gas do you put in your ST?

    We use 93, but you can use 87. To get all the ponies, you need to use 93. After a couple of tanks, I can feel a difference when switching back and forth.

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    Updating my Sync3 to the latest version, hoping to do this fullscreen mod soon. It sounds like it is very stable so far, but has anyone taken a long road trip and used WAZE or Google Maps the entire time without any issues? We tend to do a lot of overnight drives for our trips (longest I'll go...

    Hate my 3" thermal exhaust

    Maybe I just got used to it, but I feel like my 3'' Thermal has gotten a bit more quiet now that it has broken in after a few thousand miles. I have taken short road trips with the family (2-5 hour drives) and the kid has no problem sleeping. Even when it does get a bit loud when going 80-85 up...
