    2021 tire chains

    Are studded winter tires an option instead of tire chains. We use them in northern Ontario for about five months of the year. They are a little noisy (tick, tick, tick) but would be much safer than tire chains/cables and you can travel at full freeway speeds, unlike with tire chains.

    I'm New Here

    Welcome aboard White Lightning. I love my ST too, but for some reason I hate it when I see someone driving another ST around. Have fun.

    Best tire size for police interceptor rims

    Hey, The 18" aluminum Explorer wheels I purchased came with 255/65R18's and for winter tires, narrower and taller is better. So I would say 255 would be the better to go with. Cheers.

    Towing w/ the ST

    My pickup can tow 9500 pounds and it did not come with a controller. It was an option, but I chose to install one instead.

    Towing w/ the ST

    I purchased a Curt controller that varies the force on the trailer brakes based on how fast you are trying to slow down. Faster you stop, the more pressure applied to the trailer brakes. When I get home I will find the model number. I also tow a utility trailer that ranges in weight from 1400 to...

    Unless you are driving a snow beast. Sorry, I mean a snowmobile.

    Winter Tires 21” Street Pac

    I disagree, nothing beats a studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta. We have them on our vehicles here in Northern Ontario. They turn a front wheel drive van into a 4X4 and a 4X4 into a snow beast.

    Oil change

    I would love to have a skid plate for my ST. It probably would not be hard to fab as the fibre cover appears to be pretty flat, but looks could be decieving.

    Post your Dragy times.

    Unfortunately, my ST is always carrying extra weight, me.

    Post your Dragy times.

    I would also expect those attempting a good run to turn off any accessories, like the fan, heated seats, etc.

    Sync 3 map update

    I just did the map update a couple of days ago. It took 2.5 hours to download to my computer, 45 minutes to copy to a USB drive (make sure to format it using exFAT) and then 1.5 hours for it to upload to the ST. Not overly difficult, but lots of opportunity for error when waiting hours to...

    Options for Side Bars or Aftermarket Temp Rails

    Hey, I purchased a hitch mounted carrier and it works great. It is low enough that the brake lights are still visible and unless you really load it with tall things, you can still open the rear liftgate. It can carry much more weight than 75 pounds and I would assume, but could be wrong, that it...

    ST Drivers...Male vs Female

    I agree that when ignoring folks you may lose out on an important conversation. On the other hand, I am sure we have all left a situation where you were not impressed with someone. Whether it be a family event, or children's performance. Leaving is usually not because of content, but due to...

    I think someone made a boo boo on the graph. The Bronco tune compares base on 93 to tuned on 93.

    You don't have to like people. That's it. Oh, and they don't have to like you. Now, that's it.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Wow, finally. It is actually 30 hp, 52 lb-ft of torque and some transmission shifting improvements. Nice. I think a few here need to acknowledge that it actually came out. You know who you are.
