Is there any clearance issue with the strut brace?

I have the 3D mats and really liked the look of them at first. After about a year the 2 hold down buttons are worn out and no longer hold the mat in place on the driver's side.

Thank you for this update. These really annoying issues that can be resolved is why I am on this forum.

Welcome, Dorchester County here.

Reset the oil life meter and continue to change with quality synthetic oil every 10K miles. Check the oil level every so often and you will be fine.

How many days went by before you remote started with your phone? Some on here have mentioned that the ST goes into deep sleep mode after a week or two and that remote start will not work once in deep sleep mode. Just wondering as my key fob stays exclusively in the vehicle.

I do love that windshield. And of course I love any ST no matter the options. I am in a colder climate so I appreciate my 2020 windshield with wiper defrost element and we really like our massaging seats. Also, I said I would never have a white vehicle, but that all changed when the ST came out.

They did replace the left side catalytic converter awhile back. That cured the exhaust smell inside the vehicle. My 2020 ST that I bought new has always had an exhaust rattle upon cold start up and goes away in a minute or two. I may just try some large hose clamps around the flex pipe to see if...

Watching also. I am at 46K miles and asked dealer at 35K to look everything over, including exhaust. They said everything was fine. Wife tells me exhaust is noisy and wants it replaced. I was going to check with another dealer, but was hoping it would be covered under the emissions warranty or ESP.

Taking a quick look at Tire Rack, I see that the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires have an amazing 80K mile warranty. You could probably expect 60-70K miles from them. You may sacrifice some dry grip, but ride and all weather handling should be great.

I totally agree with you on this. Well except back in the day when I was in college and funds were lacking. Anyhow, must agree that the OP should only go with new, just not worth the risk.

Looking for a set. Just wondering what $ you were asking for them ?

All this talk about charging the battery on the ST kind of makes me think we are talking about my son's Chinese ATV, as it needs to be charged up every so often. Just make sure your alternator is putting out 14+ volts and everything should be fine. If your battery goes much below mid 12 volts...

I am kind of partial to white STs, anyways, somewhere I have read that mirrors may need to be reset if they have been pushed in manually, say at a car wash. You can also shut off the auto folding feature in the settings if you don't want them to fold in. Also see if the 1,2,3 settings have any...

I will have to keep this in mind if we go on a flight or go on another cruise. Really hoping for a cruise later this year. It would really suck to come back and be unable to get the vehicle unlocked. Again, I have only seen my keyfob a handful of times in the past 2 1/2 years of ownership.

Definitely drive it again. With that mileage it should have just gotten a new set of treads. I would stay right at $40K, again b2b warranty has to be $0 deductible, otherwise dealer will try to charge you the deductible for each issue you want repaired. Deductibles are okay for big ticket items...

I would say go ahead with the purchase. I bought mine new in 2020 and had some regrets at first, as it had to be put on a rollback twice in the first year. Dealer got it straight and all is fine now. Most notable with the catalytic converters was the exhaust smell in the cabin. With the b2b...

Here you go, waiting for you at my local dealer: https://www.prestonford.com/new-Hurlock+MD-2023-Ford-Explorer-ST-1FM5K8GC9PGA11994

As I type this I am knocking on wood, but with my experience I bought an early build 2020 ST new in November 2020. It sat on dealer lot for a very long time. It had less than 100 miles on it, so it wasn't driven much. No issues with battery so far. (other issues though). Also wanted to mention...

Put FALKEN AZENIS FK460 A/S tires on my ST with 20" wheels. I took a gamble because I really like Michelin tires, but thought i would try the Falken tires. They ride perfect and would recommend them to anyone willing to switch from the Michelins.
