    Widest front and rear rim and tires

    What offset were you running though? I found a pair of 20x10.5s I’m debating running with some 285/50r20s that have a +45 offset. Wanting to know if those will fit in the front and not come in contact with anything. If that won’t work I’ll just be going with a set of 20x9.5 +33. (Also curious...

    Steering Question

    I’ve been having this problem since I got my ST 2 years ago. I HATE IT. I don’t use any of the assist features but the steering feel is MUCH TOO heavy. Can’t stand it, actually have it causing wrist issues. The STs were given artificially heavier steering feel because apparently some people like...

    Transmission/Shifting Stall !!!!!!!

    I’m sure this has been answered by now being over 4 years old. But it’s how the vehicle is made unfortunately. I’ve experienced it multiple times, it’s dangerously deadly. Doesn’t happen in sport mode for me, only normal and eco, and eco is SIGNIFICANTLY worse. I’m talking over a full second...

    Ford Performance Tune released for Ranger and Bronco Raptor variants just dropped and its WAY better than the one for our Exploders...

    I'm aware of ZFG and ultimately will go with it, but wanted to rock the FP tune until out of warranty. I have that, plus intake and intercooler currently. That's a different topic though but I appreciate your insight/suggestions nonetheless. And the "new" 3.5 makes up to 440hp/510lb-ft from...

    Ford Performance Tune released for Ranger and Bronco Raptor variants just dropped and its WAY better than the one for our Exploders...

    So, title ^, what gives? All vehicles are performance oriented with the same 3.0L twin turbo ecoboost engine right? Why do these vehicles get a boost to 455hp and 536lb-ft of torque while we're limited to 430hp and 467 lb-ft? Obviously there are some differences between gearing and driveshafts...

    SLD For sale$1000 NEW PRICE like New Borla Explorer ST S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust - Black Chrome Houston, TEXAS

    Funny, that was the only change I made and it’s what I experienced. Do you have a suggestion for why my vehicle was slower then? It had noticeably lethargic acceleration after the install. And install was done by an exhaust shop and it sounded great. So not sure the install was the problem. I’m...

    SLD For sale$1000 NEW PRICE like New Borla Explorer ST S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust - Black Chrome Houston, TEXAS

    Can you share your reason for getting rid of these? I guess you tried the thermal first. Gets pricey to keep buying and replacing new exhaust systems. Would love to know why you also removed the Borla S Type from your car. I had a Borla s type on another vehicle before and removed it because of...

    Ford Performance Tune

    My advice is move out of California and then second to that, what I was under the impression of was that the explorer’s advertised 400 hp was based off premium fuel, but that it did not necessarily require premium fuel, but that the FP tube does require premium fuel to hit advertised FP tune...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Well there is definitely not nearly as much lag in the trans, which I experienced many times (even after a trans relearn procedure) before I got the tune. Drivability is noticeably improved. This is all much more significant than the extra 30 horsepower.

    Ford Performance Tune

    I actu I actually love my FP tune, and the dealership installed it for free for me. It drastically improved the cars throttle response and ease of ability to drive it like you want to whenever you need to be a little quick. The car itself is still a P.O.S. but the FP tune made its drivability...

    I need to reduce the DRONE

    I had a 2013 charger R/T before this car and I had a Borla s-type on it for two weeks before removing it and putting the stock exhaust back on and just eating the cost because the drone was so bad. To be fair the drone was migraine inducing only when it was in “eco” mode which was the car’s MDS...

    Anyone near Charlotte, NC that knows of a quality shop that charges fair prices for aftermarket intercooler installs?

    Anyone live near Charlotte, NC (less than 50miles) who knows a quality shop that will do aftermarket intercooler install for a fair price?

    Lumbar setting drif?

    I don’t use memory on my seat settings. I just set it to where it’s comfortable. And yet after a few times of driving the vehicle I’ll start to notice that my back hurts and I’ll decide to check the lumbar settings and will see that they have all resulted either back to zero or close to it...
