    New member with 2020 question

    You can read through this forum and find almost all issues you may encounter. Some have had no issues and some probably have had all. You should be okay if your warranty has as close to a $0 deductible as you could get. If you bought it from a dealer and they did a thorough inspection, you...

    All the 25's come with massaging front seats?

    Timberline Skid plate

    How is the install? Does it replace the flimsy shield that is on mine now?

    SSM 52484 Keypad time out

    Please let me know if this works. I had recently gone on trip for a week and when I came back the keypad would not come on. As we keep our key fob in the ST at all times, this could have been an issue. I started the vehicle with my phone and all was good after that

    Drone noise

    Do you have the stock exhaust?

    Tire fitting question

    Might be okay, but just wouldn't look right as they would be too tall. If they make like a 265/50 it would fit, but then be too narrow.

    First long distance towing

    I was going to comment on the SVO also. edog, are you bringing it back to life?

    "EXPLORER" lettering on hood

    Same here. I think it gives the ST a nice look. I wash mine every week and have no issues with the letters snagging by microfiber towels or chamois.

    Buying a used ST

    I would test drive it quite a bit. Don't just go around the block. Also keep it overnight and see how it sounds first thing in the morning. Anything that seems not quite right, get it fixed before signing anything, otherwise you could regret the purchase. If all is well then I would say get it...

    Transmission woes

    This sounds similar to what my ST did early on. It ended up being the throttle body.

    Key fob lost power on me

    But I can stay married because I don't need to look for the keys, ha. I can also start the ST anywhere. Also need a reason to get a 2025 ST.

    Oil life meter

    I love all of Dave's videos and respect all that he has to say. Of course I will have to disagree with his recommended 3k mile oil changes, but agree with the oil pro that an oil analysis will provide us with the most accurate data.

    Running boards/Splash guards

    I agree, please don't do either.

    Oil life meter

    I have to disagree. 10K mile oil changes should be the norm nowadays. Studies have shown that synthetic oil does not wear out. I use Mobil 1 in the ST and my other car. I go 10k miles in the ST and 15k miles in my car, which has over 260k miles, with no issues. Castrol has just advertised their...

    Driver Lower Seat Panel - Outboard Side

    Dealer replaced ours about two years ago and it is still in good shape. Same design as the original. If you look at later model years, Ford did away with the front trim panel so that there is no longer pressure being put on the panel, which causes it to break when getting in and out of the vehicle.

    Key fob lost power on me
