Considering they still make the car and body shops need replacement parts…I highly doubt that’s a fact.
Plus LKQ has tons of them for less than Ford anyway.

That is what is listed. The picture shows the same for the left and the right on Ford's site. It's obviously a misprint. That said, the link takes you to the right side according to the description on the page. The part numbers are of course different. It does have a footnote that says it doesn't fit vehicles for Gulf Cooperative Countries.






door mirror. rear view mirror. mirror head - right, outer (st).
Dual Power. Heated. Folding. Memory. Puddle. RD. Cam - Black
Part #: MB5Z17682MB




Usage: RH, Black, 08/30/2021 - 09/08/2023, Explorer 2020-, (-)"GCC"Gulf Cooperative Countries, ST Version, DU PWR/HTD/FLD/MEM/PUD/RD/CAM
Section: Exterior Rear View Mirror
Most parts available next business day.

By "no longer available", maybe they have the old part number. Ford revised the side mirrors late MY2021 that don't whistle at highway speeds.

That's interesting as the description specifically lists it for the ST and mentions puddle light.

Asking a question here for any 2023 owner, have they done away with the ST light?

How about a salvage yard. They can get pretty much anything.

Ebay has a lot of mirrors listed for the ST. It would take some time and messages with the sellers to find the correct one. But I'm sure they would have one. Good Luck.

Going by the picture in post #5, the Round Puddle lamp is larger than the old Rectangular Puddle lamp with ST logo, you should be able to remove the Round Puddle lamp gut it and use it as a mount for the ST logo puddle lamp.
