    Anyone ordered their Explorer ST with the Thinkware Dashcam?

    You can use the footage for accidents mainly, unless you live in a no-fault state. It can also be helpful for bogus police stops--ie. rolling stops, erroneous speeding citations, etc. I would highly recommend front and back cams.

    Missing Parts

    All you can do is point it out and ask. They can check the build sheet. I called Ford customer service and they said they were aware of the problem. They gave me a case number and told me to call the dealership sales manager and give them the case #. But with all the covid stuff going on and...

    It was "fs2020" Hopefully it is still valid.

    Trunk button doesn't open trunk on a locked vehicle

    Does it do that for the other key? Will it open when locked with the kick underneath the bumper maneuver? Just assuming it's the rear proximity sensor for the smart key.

    H&R springs now available

    Exciting news. Hopefully the ST struts/shocks are up to the task. A little drop would make the ST perfect IMHO.

    Confirmed that you have the correct one: VLB5Z-18246-A Side Window Deflector - Smoke $87.75 Ordered from Levittown Ford with free shipping code. Although there is a gap as JR GOFFIN mentions, I've not had any problems with it with wind or rain, street or highway. The dark color looks like a...

    There does seem to be added wind noise but then again, it's hard to do a comparison from memory when I just wasnt' paying much attention to it before. BTW, the same maker has their label AVS version for $65. Personally, I like the ford version because it has no labelling...

    Keep your eye in the spare tire compartment for leaks

    Maybe people who hear sloshing sounds really have a spare tire area full of water...

    I've actually not noticed that before I bought the window deflectors but it certainly does not seem to do that. I do wonder if something is wrong with your window. Maybe post a video?

    Palm Beach Dyno Tune....no sport mode needed

    Sport mode throttle sensitivity is whack. But Sport mode definitely has faster shifting. Do tunes improve shifting in normal? I wonder how they improve shifting at all but many claim to do so.

    Violent downshifts / "scrambling" upshifts -- anyone else experiencing this?

    If you haven't done so already, try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and have the transmission relearn timing. Mine was decidedly more herky jerky for the 6months before I tried the above. Much smoother shifting since.

    Not normal. They're fairly expensive too for the set. That said, I love mine and do not regret getting the OE all weather mats (cargo mat excluded).

    Forscan

    For most bolt-ons, that would be difficult to argue. But for tunes it is quite an easy argument to make.

    Ford window deflectors. ~$85. Nice now that warm weather is here. Allows you to crack the window open 2-3" in the rain. I think it looks good on an ST.

    Why there is no tow eye .............

    Speak for yourself. My car has a front socket for it. But, yeah, definitely check before you go getting bent out of shape about it being missing.

    I would not recommend the Ford OEM cargo liner. It is extremely cheap, stiff, thin material. I also do not like the cutouts on the side that exposes the 3rd row arm rest--stuff falls in there all the time.

    Is everyone ok with the giant tablet and terrible bezel?

    I really have no beefs with the appearance of the screen. I have no issue about not being able to upgrade to SYNC 4. I do have issue that the screen is partitioned into thirds it seems and Carplay is relegated to 1/3rd of the whole display. Carplay has dynamic scaling now so why hasn't Ford...

    Explorer ST Bulb Chart

    I think it is worth it to get a Forscan setup (adapter + license) for ST enthusiasts, not only to change the setting for rear turn signals to LED to avoid hyperflash, but also to eliminate the fake engine noise in Sport mode. You'll save a few bucks getting resistor-less LED bulbs too.
