    Cat converter

    Mine has been replaced twice and covered under the emissions warranty, as mentioned by Unbroken. Talk the talk with the service dept. We know more than most at the dealership, seriously. There are some great technicians at dealers, you just have to find them.

    Heat Fan Blower Motor Location

    Now that you mentioned this squeaking noise from the fan, I too have some squeaking that is noticable at fan speeds like 1 & 2. I turned the fan all the way up and back down, seems to have worked for the time being.

    Ladies and Gentlemen. Post your wheels please.

    I am curious to see a 2025 ST wheel on a 2020-2024 ST. Anyone planning on doing this? Maybe even having those wheels painted black.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I really like the blue one they keep showing. I think it goes well with the new ST wheels. My wife is the ST's primary driver and that color seems to be perfect for the ladies.

    2021 explorer ST pass side mirror replacement

    How about a salvage yard. They can get pretty much anything.

    Dealer and PremiumCare saying rattling flex pipes no longer being covered under warranty

    Glad you are getting it straightened out. As I had mentioned, the dealer I went to took care of me and I did not by the ST from them. Service depts are not all the same.When one says no, another one may say yes. I have like 4 Ford dealers in my area.

    Why do I want to sell my 22 ST 21”OEM wheels, and tires

    We need a price. I haven't found many for sale close to me, the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Also most don't want to buy them with bald tires, unless really at a good price. Market value and replacement cost are a world apart.

    Key Fob

    Not an exact answer to your question, but in the example you have described, why not just leave the key fob in the vehicle and lock/unlock with the key pad on the side of the door?

    Oil drain plug leaking

    I concur that the oil extraction method is the way to go with the ST. One concern from some is that you don't ever check under your vehicle using this method and I agree with that point, so I take a gander underneath every few months. Actually just noticed that a CV boot was leaking and had it...

    Dealer and PremiumCare saying rattling flex pipes no longer being covered under warranty

    My dealer covered the left side flex pipe, which has been redesigned, and the catalytic converter under the emissions warranty. I was way over 36K miles and my ESP has a $100.00. deductible, which I don't think that the ESP would cover anyways. I did not pay anything, so I would mention the...

    New badge on front fenders

    You are kidding that you don't know what it means? How about 3.0 Ecoboost, Twin Turbo, or something similar?

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Would anyone have an idea why they are deleting the keyless entry keypad? We use this almost every time we use the ST. I hate carrying key fobs or looking for them.

    Peace ✌ Everyone, a bit of help please

    With a 2020 most of the kinks should have been worked out by now. Test drive it for a good amount of miles, not just around the block and listen to it over smooth and bumpy roads. Keep it overnight and listen to how it sounds on a cold morning. If there is anything odd going on, get it right...

    Recommended 18” all black Wheel

    How about the wheels off of an Explorer Timberline?

    OEM Cat

    Yes, he is correct about the emissions warranty. They don't really advertise this type of warranty, but I believe it to be required by law. My left cat has been replaced under warranty twice, around 20K and then again at around 60K miles, along with the flex pipe.

    Coolant Recovery Cap

    Seeing if you were successful in getting the cap off? Mine is indeed hard to get off and on, I figured it was for safety reasons.

    Disappearing coolant?

    Any chance it could be a heater core issue? I had a brand new car that had a pinhole leak from the factory. Of course the dealer I bought it from said there was nothing wrong. I took it to another dealer and they knew what the issue was within an hour.

    Buying cpo advice ?

    Test drive the heck out of it. Good dealers will let you keep it overnight. Request that any worn tires be replaced without additional cost to you. Pass on any extended warranty and out the door at low 30's would be reasonable. If financing, get the lowest rate by negotiating if need be.

    Official Curbing Thread

    They are a decent mid-grade tire. I have the Gen3's on my daughter's car and they ride great and handle well. I will say that 2020STAWD, those are much too short of a tire for the ST.

    Just picked up a 2022 ST fully-loaded!

    Nice. I am in Maryland also, on the Eastern Shore. The weather is crazy right now.
