    Patriot ceramics k9ST..greetings from colorado

    Nice ride! Pro-tip: there are a few videos on YT showing how to remove that giant black front license bracket. And the painted filler plugs are like $8 on eBay. Then you can look like this:

    Honest opinion of 2025 ST. Buying a 24.

    Unpopular opinion. I don't mind a manual steering column. Why? Because it will always work, it's one less motor to go bad. Also, I had my 23 ST for a little over a year and I think I adjusted the steering wheel twice. It's not a huge inconvenience for a solo driver. Losing the sun shades was a...

    That's correct, I have a manual steering column.

    Honest opinion of 2025 ST. Buying a 24.

    Bumping a zombie thread. But as a former 23 ST owner(purchased new) and now a 25 ST owner(purchased new), I can give some opinion on this matter. The biggest notable improvements with the 25 are all in the interior. The interior sounds and feels completely different. The new design is more...

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    Look at it this way, all that extra glass and moonroof motors, plus the extra speakers, are just adding weight. I also passed on the moonroof, we're faster! ;)

    After seeing the 2025 refresh in person, I just couldn't help myself. I traded the 23 ST in on this black beauty. I have to say the interior and infotainment system are much improved. The leather/suede seats and general layout of the interior are just more comfortable. The infotainment system is...

    Auto Stop

    I could be wrong but I think ASS isn't available until the vehicle reaches a certain operating temperature. That might be part of the inconsistency you're noticing

    Rattle noise in front end?

    2023 here, 3800 miles, and I have a clunk sound coming from the front. It sounds like the hood is loose and bumping up and down, but it's tight. I adjusted the hood stops nice and tight to confirm and it still clunks even on small bumps. I have had the hood prop pop out of the holder and bang...

    2025 Explorer ST Electrical Gremlin or Dash Glitch?

    It's normal for you to hear clicking sounds, etc, after the vehicle has been off for a few minutes. The ECU is performing diagnostic tests on certain areas like the ABS system. My 23 does it randomly and it's annoying. I wish it could be disabled because it does use battery. The vehicle will go...

    Honest opinion of 2025 ST. Buying a 24.

    To clear up any confusion, I wanted to add that I have a 23 with build date 02/07/23 that has 360 view, parking sensors, and an electric lift gate. So some 23's had those equipped,
