Picked up the 25' ST today. I bought if from another dealer that is close to me, this one didn't arrive with a factory door dent. I ended up paying $700 more for this one due to Ford issues I bitrched about in earlier posts.

I've already added an AFE, CAI, a UPR dual valve oil catch can, and mud flaps. Lots more to add tomorrow. I might be the first one to add a CAI and oil catch can to a 25'.

The WOT hose to the UPR catch can is 7" to short. I've read about this before so I am not the only one. I'll be calling UPR tomorrow to see if they can make one up and over-nightr it to me.

Caster, glad you were able to remedy your situation and thank you for the pics. I was hoping Ford would have gone from the old hood lift support to something more of a compressed air system.

If you don't mind, could you add your pricing info to this other thread?

I'll make it easy and post it here - We're all in the same boat, give or take a little on pricing anyway. I paid exactly $61K even, with X-plan, out the door for it. The price included Michigan 6% sales tax, new license plate and any & all additional fees.

Correction to yesterdays post about the UPR hose being 7" too short. I mistakenly routed and attached a couple of hoses to the wrong places. Once I noticed that, I was able to fix the issue. The UPR hose is fine afterall.

25' ST Today:

Removed the hood EXPLORER letters and added a hood deflector, then I added silver EXPLORER letters to the hood deflector, added AVS window vent shades, added an AWR diff. brace, and added a start/stop eliminator to the steering column, and added Husky floor mats/liners to the entire vehicle. Now I'm going to perform my new vehicle ritual of removing each wheel and brake rotor and anti-seizing everything so everything comes apart with no issue down the road. Last but not least I will add my trailer Curt brake controler this weekend.

Update to my saga. I posted above from yesterday. IT's BEEN A COMPLETE SHIT SHOW. I have spent most of my day on the phone with Ford Motor direct and with multiple dealers.

Since I was one of the first people to place my ST order when the public order bank opened on 2/2/24, my ST pricing was lower than current ST pricing for the exact vehicle - roughly a $2K difference. I am being told that my pricing is directly tied to the VIN # of the vehicle I ordered. If I choose to purchase another exact same ST that is UNDAMAGED like the one that showed up for me from my order at the dealership, it will cost me $2K more. So far anyway, they won't honor my original ordered pricing on a defect free, exact replacement. They are essentially trying to force me to take the ST that needs the door body work and paint to keep my original pricing or pay $2K to get a different one. WTF>>>>>> This completely defies common sense and any good faith business practices in every way that I can think of.

I am so angry and frustrated with Ford on this nonsensicle issue. Way to treat your customers you #*@% DONKEYS.

That right there would be enough for me to say thanks goodbye and never purchase a Ford vehicle again. On to a 2025 Tahoe RST.

Anyone here with a 25 who previously had a 20-24? I would love to read your comparisons, pros and cons.
My wife would like me to trade, I'm on the fence.

I had a 23 Explorer ST. My first complaint was they got rid of the color Forged Green. Secondly, they only provide one rim option for the 25 ST. I prefer black rims.
