Greetings from Buena Vista, Colorado. I'm Keith Baker, retired Navy, former business owner, and present county commissioner. My last hot rod was many moons ago and I took delivery of my Iconic Silver ST on Thursday, 11 March 2021. My wife took my photo on my first arrival home with the ST (below). We attended the ST SUV Experience in Park City in July 2021. I love my ST!

Hello and welcome to Explorer ST Forum, the premier community for Explorer ST owners from around the world. Please take a moment and post your introduction and let us know a little bit about yourselves.
Hi, I'm a first time Ford owner. The white ST won me over. It's in for service right now to complete Emissions Recall 21E11, and it's taken two visits since the dealer here in Napa got the catalytic converter in, but didn't get but they didn't get a necessary part to strap it in. That meant I got to drive it home, and back to the dealer the next day while almost asphyxiating myself. They should have never let me drive that vehicle! I also need to have the front driver's seat repaired because the full seam is coming apart. Other then that, its a fantastic vehicle.

Hello,
Cris from PA here. I am a happy owner of a 2020 ST. Love every single thing about this mid size SUV and only want to learn how to improve on what Ford created. From what I have seen on this forum there is a wealth of knowledge to improve on this beautiful vehicle.
I do not have a background of mechanics or fabrication so I am trying to avoid doing more damage than good with any modifications I implement. Thank you for answering my request to join the forum.

Hello,
New owner of 2020 white ST. Looked at a black for a while until our salesman found this awesome looking white with a black wrapped top that has 37,000 miles on it. Owned 1 day and already upgraded air filter to K&N! Looking at exhaust and probably Steeda intercooler with SCT tune. Love it and it’s a great addition to our stable with our 91 Mustang GT & 2018 Explorer XLT!

2023 ST
Picked up a 2023 ST last weekend, enjoying the car a lot so far. This is my first Ford, have owned mostly BMW's in the past.

We are expecting our 2nd child and we needed something bigger and the ST was the only vehicle out there that checked all the boxes while being engaging to drive.

We cross shopped Sienna, new Pilot and even a used X7's but the markups and terrible dealer financing soured us on the other options. Sienna was the worst with $10k(!) markup being common and mutli year long waitlists... Our local Ford dealer was able to go under MSRP and offer 0% financing which made the decision alot easier.

Enjoying the forum and all the resources so far!
