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

    I would be writing a letter to Ford Regional Rep about that kind of service and copy the Dealer Principal. That Service Manager needs a good open hand slap (sorry inside voice) .......You got a lemon, sell it and get rid of the dealer. New dealer, new Explorer, wait for the 24, we should see...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Confirmed the FP tune is designed to handle ALL octanes. Performance of the tune calibrations are modulated by the octane. The engineers I spoke to were surprised & confused by the information about the risk of holes in pistons. Installing it yourself does not void any warranty. If an issue...

    Ford Performance Tune

    It took me 15 minutes, do it yourself. They have to prove the tune was installed incorrectly to void the warranty.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Forgive me if this was already mentioned in this thread but did anyone else notice after loading the new FP calibration it also included the software that auto activates the Parking Brake at every "P" selection?........this is driving me nuts after 1 day. You dont need a parking brake on a flat...

    Ford Performance Tune

    I have access to some of the Engineers, that's how I got my info so I will dig deeper into this and find what's really accurate.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Loaded the FP tune today but unfortunately I had filled up day before with 87.......regardless still a significant improvement in acceleration out of the hole, entering onto Freeway big difference, especially shifting. Apparently the calibration to cover spark across all octanes plus shift...

    New SYNC version is Available

    That dealership is not being truthful. You don't need a DTC message to get warranty repair on a known TSB. Call Ford Corporate and go to another dealership.

    Officer NOT HAPPY with the performance of his Explorer Police Interceptor

    Officers forget that their Fleet people have the ability through Ford IDS to detune the vehicles, this may or may not have been done to this unit. We don't know what kind of extra weight this unit is carrying which will degrade performance. Many Agencies also are remiss in getting their...

    Officer NOT HAPPY with the performance of his Explorer Police Interceptor

    I drive them every day, that's absolutely untrue........did she work part time at CNN by chance? Michigan State Police Precision Driving Team know what they are doing when they test. Fake News.

    Officer NOT HAPPY with the performance of his Explorer Police Interceptor

    That's a very good point, the top speed is able to be set by an Agency garage using the Ford IDS.

    Officer NOT HAPPY with the performance of his Explorer Police Interceptor

    I guess he can't read the Michigan State Police Testing results then.............aka User Error.

    New SYNC version is Available

    Might be a bit snapier but very minor, still have that ridiculous start up lag where you cant touch anything or it locks up. I still cannot believe they won't power up the APIM on remote start with radio off until ignition cycle.

    New SYNC version is Available

    I still cant see or notice a change in anything with this new update.

    New SYNC version is Available

    Dont most routers give you the ability to broadcast your WiFi in 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz at the same time and the devices that can only use one or the other use the appropriate network.

    New SYNC version is Available

    I have also had success updating the Ford servers with install confirmation by using the WiFi connection and hitting "Check For Updates"

    New SYNC version is Available

    Loaded it on my ST today, cant say I noticed any improvements yet.

    Sync 3 map update

    And that right there is another example of the ridiculous complexity Ford builds into its multimedia systems. No other OEM has these issues. Where is that SYNC3 update that got released last year, non existent yet again.

    Sync 3 map update

    I must not be doing it right then because over the past few years I have never had a SYNC update work when using a MacBook or any MacOS device. I always switch to Windows and it works first time everytime.

    Sync 3 map update

    Checked the site as mentioned above, my 2021 has one free Map Only download so I took it. For those who have NOT done it couple of Pro tips.... There are three files to download 1. Instruction Sheet (only Ford has a system with a 12 page instruction sheet) 2. Download Map file Zipped up 3...
