    Inaccurate MPG Adjustment

    Yup! I mean, we've got a 180 cu in V6 engine that makes 400 hp and gets ~20 mpg combined. 60's muscle cars didn't even make that much hp. The 426 Hemi (when carried over unchanged to 1971) was only rated at 350 NET hp and got 9 mpg. Speaking of 9 mpg, this guy talking about his Trackhawk's mpg...

    Bad MPG

    Unless you're at a standstill, which is power braking.;)

    Inaccurate MPG Adjustment

    Got 'ya. When all is said and done we're still getting way better mpg than other performance SUV's like the Durango RT (16 mpg), Durango SRT (13 mpg) and Tahoe RST (14 mpg). Not sure why I really care that much about our ST's mpg!? haha

    "Ben Wiren" YT Channel Takes Explorer ST-Line to Salt Flats For Top Speed Run

    Thank you for responding and thank you for your service! So, how did you get the foot imprints out of the floor board and what divorce lawyer are you using? Lol

    Utility Roof Rack

    Good to know. I went from a 22 ST with Moonroof + roof rails to a 22 ST with no Moonroof + roof rails. FORD's roof rails are a must for me as they sharpen up the ST's looks considerably, and it appears getting them without a Moonroof is the way to go.

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    Well, if you're going to push 500+ hp then that's probably a good idea! Otherwise, the poll I conducted here (along with FORD's own data) suggests you're good to go.:cool: In the mean time, I hope you get all the small stuff sorted out.(y)

    Exhaust rattles, creaks, pings as it heats up. Suspecting bad cat.

    Wow, and some other people have reported no issues. I sense another Poll coming ...

    Inaccurate MPG Adjustment

    Okay, thanks for the clarification. I've yet to do an old fashioned paper/pen mpg computation, I'll have to set one up. FYI: the onboard computer is displaying the same 20.0-20.3 mpg on my current ST that my previous ST had shown.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    I'm no mathematician either, but honestly, we're just talking about the utilization of basic computational skills here. And I do not think governmental agencies would use any form of social media platform as their basis for statistical data. It will have to either come from FORD's own documented...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    We already know FORD has officially reported more than "dozens", they reported exactly 235 at around the same time that person wrote. Which mathematically is still an infinitesimally small number compared to the 252,936 vehicles effected (.092% or less than one tenth of a percent). If just 5%...

    Inaccurate MPG Adjustment

    Thanks for posting ... So was the ST accurate before or after the adjustments? (because you said "surprisingly")

    Love my 2022 ST but why are so many publication reviews trashing the Explorer?

    For reliable performance test results, C&D has been my go to automotive publication for decades (personally verified by myself at the track). But their personal picks are just that, personal, and have not always been my favorites. No problem, they're not paying for my vehicle. I am. As my...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    As a Career Firefighter/AEMT I deal with facts, not emotions. Otherwise, people can get hurt or die. And the fact remains that when an internet forum, which carries a large number of members, conducts a poll specific to the audience on which the poll's question is focused, that the poll carries...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    A survey is not an opinion, it is a report of factual experiences. Let's understand that right out of the box and leave our high school way of thinking behind us. Additionally, such queries being on an ST specific forum (where people will likely drive their car hard or mod them) makes said...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    It's quite telling that we're not seeing continuous reports of breaks. Witness no new reports on my "Rear Axle Bolt Poll" thread. Now we have a ton of people talking about breaks, but that's about it. Just talking. And that my fellow ST owners, is that ...

    Explorer ST vs. GMC Typhoon (the "original" performance SUV)

    Not a fan of the Syclone either, or just the Typhoon? If there's anyone here who's had experience with either the Syclone or Typhoon, pipe in and tell us about it. Not to mention better mpg too!

    On the beach ...

    Tell her the owner's manual states maneuvers are occassionally required. haha
