    2021 ford st explorer emblem led?

    Based on the Ford accessories site, the black Ford Badge fits the 2022-2025. Pretty sure when I bought it a couple months ago, it fit the 2020-2024. So, based on that, I am going to make the assumption the Putco badge is the same for the 2020 - 2025. And presumably the rest of this generation...

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    And make sure you look into the ST SUV Experience. I don't think they're opening it up to '25 owners till next year, but you DO want to go, trust me. Have yet to talk to anyone who's done it and didn't have a great time.

    Customer Satisfaction Program Sync 3

    Mine's missing the cellular modem, too. Don't want it anyway. Most of the guys here strongly advise against the over the air updates. USB is the best way to go.

    Customer Satisfaction Program Sync 3

    So, according to my dealer, despite the email, I am at the latest software. Now, was discussing issues I've read here on this board with my service writer. He says there is going to be an update in October. He's not sure if it's going to be OTA or not, but Ford is aware there is still something...

    service issues

    Well, I certainly would. I've been buying Fords here at my dealer for years, if they want me to buy any more, they'd refund that cash. Lots of dealers in central VA.

    Bad day for the ST

    There is absolutely no question the Platinum is going to have a softer ride. One of the selling points of the ST is the stiffer suspension. I have to admit, at my age, I did prefer the ride of my old Limited. I drive a Super Duty for work, been in a lot of F-250s & F-350s in my career. A few...

    Bad day for the ST

    I would agree, decent deal. Would defintely try to negotiate new tires for the ST. If the Platinum has AWD, it's a great value, though. Not sure how you feel about performance vs. comfort. At 60, I would probably go for the Platinum. If I may, however, have you thought about new? I was in the...

    Customer Satisfaction Program Sync 3

    I turned off auto update when I read how much trouble everyone here, well, several here, have had with auto updates. The update to 23188 turned it back on. It's off, again.

    418 hp 3.0L Bronco Raptor is slowwwwwww ...

    I know this is an old thread, but, I think that perspective is in order. I've not driven the new Bronco, once owned a Bronco II. It was a sporty little truck. I used to have a blast out on dirt roads with that little car. But, that being said, it's hard to compare one vehicle of one class to a...

    Bad day for the ST

    That's why I am on my third Explorer. They're some tough cars. Sorry yours was totaled. But thankfully it kept you safe, did it's job. Hopefully you'll find another one to replace it.

    Customer Satisfaction Program Sync 3

    I did a USB update to 23188 as soon as I got back from Ashville, didn't want to risk an issue with the update before we left. (That and my black ST badges) However, the file to confirm to Ford wouldn't upload. The car says it's completed, however. But, I had it look for a software update hoping...

    Speeding Ticket Today

    Ohio cops can be real jerks. I got pulled and ticketed for not having a DOT health card and log book. Was driving a Hertz Rental box truck, it was under the weight and size to require them, a consumer rental. This was in the early 90's. Cop said I was close enough to the limits. But, I also...

    Customer Satisfaction Program Sync 3

    Got an email about the issues with Sync 3, inviting me to return to dealer about the issues with Sync 3. Customer Satisfaction Program for Certain 2018-2024 Ford Vehicles With SYNC® 3 Program Number: 24B47 Not sure if y'all have gotten it yet, or if they're just starting to send it out. I...

    How to check transmission level without getting burned on exhaust!?

    Those are great. Used to wear them and Mechanix 2 gloves working on race car tires and brakes. I gave a pair to a friend who owned a pizza restaurant and was constantly getting burned cleaning her oven. Seriously, if you don't own a pair and kevlar gloves, get them. Definitely worth having in...

    Going to ST experience tomorrow

    So, been thinking. I believe they're bringing in '25s next year for the class. Seems they'll be adding the ST Line as well for eligibility. So, there will be a couple dozen '20s going on sale. They had 36K miles on Friday. We know how hard they've been pushed. Presumably maintained by Ford...

    Odd Sync Issue

    My '23 had it happen twice. The first time after I had it a week. The secomd time on the way to Ashville. I was pissed the first time, stopped and talked to my regular service writer at the dealer. He shrugged, it didn't happen again, so no problem to the dealer. The second, I'd already read...
