    Both Reverse Lights out, even after replacing - no fuse for backup lights?

    I would first trouble shoot with a voltmeter/multimeter to see if you have power going to the reverse light sockets.

    Tuxmat vs 3dMaxpider vs Weathertech

    Just an update that this mat was replaced easily under warranty even though I had bought them from another vendor that went out of business. I only needed the driver's side replaced, but they sent both sides even though I could not produce a receipt, which I would have gotten from where I had...

    2021 ST didn’t start this morning!

    Did you recently purchase this 2021 or you bought it new in 2021? Just asking to see if there is unknown history about your ST.

    Intelligent AWD & Tire Tread Depth Concern

    You won't have any issues. I would ask the dealer to rotate the tires as the rear tires wear out quicker than the front ones.

    Tire Wear

    I have the 20" wheels and went with the FK460 A/S. You can't go wrong with this ZR rated tire and they have a decent mileage rating. They ride just as well as the Michelin tires that originally came on the vehicle and this is coming from a diehard Michelin fan. These tires also have a pretty...

    Alignment/Steering Linkage Issue

    If you are trying to forcefully hold the steering wheel at dead center it may just be that the steering wheel is off a tad. Also make sure the tire pressure is the same in the front tires and if you rotate your tires that you don't have a noticeable amount of more tread on one front tire than...

    Alert cause

    Would you happen to know if the sensor that was replaced is also known as the half shaft speed sensor? This is typically the culprit when these alerts show up on your dash. A common issue, at least on the 2020's. Hopefully they did change out this sensor before replacing the transfer case.

    Rear camera recall.

    My dealer's shop also lifted my ST improperly and I told them this was a common issue mentioned on this forum. Dealer has their own body shop and fixed me up right away. Looked good as new when completed. Service advisor informed me that most people wouldn't have noticed, only us folks that are...

    Oil/ Trans Leak

    Was this before you removed the filter and before you added oil. I thought I had a small leak and dealer brushed it off as it came from whoever changed the oil, but they didn't know that person was me. I am usually pretty careful not to get oil everywhere. I also had two 2017 Explorers and they...

    Battery replacement? UGH

    Would anyone try this or has anyone replaced their battery with the Walmart branded one? It does come with a 4 year non-prorated warranty.

    S&B coming soon

    I would think you wouldn't be charged until the item ships. Am I missing something here? You should just be able to cancel the order and not have to ask for a refund.

    Explorer st 2023 vibrations

    If you don't mind paying another shop, find a tire shop that has a Road Force balancer. They should be able to detect any issues with the wheels or tires. If they don't see any issues, then I would go to another Ford dealer for further diagnosis.

    Considering a new ST

    If you have a trade in, be sure to keep your keys close by. Usually the salesperson will set them on the desk after the appraisal and I will grab them up in case I need to walk away. Deals on a 2023 should be there. If you are financing you also have to be mindful of the interest rate. Two...

    Oil change

    I think every 10K miles is fine with synthetic oil. Enough tests and comments on this forum would also say so. Ford dealers use synthetic blend unless you ask and pay for full synthetic. 5K to 7.5K may be appropriate for that type of oil.

    Ad Block Needed

    No ads here either on my phone once I became a member.

    Seatbelt Alert

    I would just click in the seatbelt. Doesn't have to be around the packages. On my daughter's VW Jetta if I put my cell phone on the passenger seat, I get the seatbelt alert. The Explorer isn't that sensitive in my experience.

    Red Outline ST Driver/Passenger

    Nice...did you use a paint marker of some sort?

    Help with auto stop.

    The A with the line through it has nothing to do with the brake hold feature. Just tap the button with the hand in the middle of the circle and it should work fine.

    Meet Maxwell named after the pig in the Geico commercials

    Congrats. You were able to get the massaging seats in the 23'?

    Broken Flex Pipe

    A good service dept will take care of you. You may also need a catalytic converter. Mine on that side has been replaced twice.
