Hello All!
Just bought a new '21 Red ST! I love it. I went searching for a '20. The dealer had just received the 21's. I test drove and mannnnnnn I wasn't ready for Sport mode.... WOW!!! What a rush!

It's nice to see Ford make changes to their vehicle after just a year on the market. I'm talking the trim pieces, the seats and the subframe. That's not the Ford of olde.

Welcome. Add the whipple intercooler and the ZFG E50 tune and you'll laugh, in retrospect, at how slow the stock ST really is. It took me awhile to get to the point mentally where I was willing to dismantle a perfectly good SUV to install the intercooler and/or mess with the tune but the pain was so worth it. Best part about it is the vehicle drives like nothing was ever done to it until you stomp the gas pedal.

Quick question did you upgrade you screen size to the 10.1 inch & if so is it in landscape or portrait? Thank you.

That bolt on intercooler option is nice.. I will definitely consider along with the tune.

My screen size is a 10.1.. Portrait mode. I would gladly exchange for a landscape version of the touch screen. So much space is wasted.

Yes I agree, that is why I asked. I heard a rumour that for the 2021 they were going to fix it. I still love my 2020 but I can't wait for them to fix this issue. Hopefully 2022 they can finally get it right.
