    How's the ride with those big a$$ tires?

    ST Key Fob

    Your ST will not unlock by touching the door handle if your keyfob is inside the center console. There is a place specifically for your keyfob. Yes, technically someone could probably break into your vehicle and drive off, but they won't get very far if you have FordPass on your phone. Again...

    Raised hood letters are killing my microfibers

    Keep the letters, we paid for them, ha. Use the 'Absorber' synthetic chamois to get most of the water off and finish up with a thick microfiber towel.

    ST Key Fob

    Yes, once you start using the keypad and maybe your phone (okay, the wife uses her phone, I don't), you will never bother with your key fob again. Try it for a week and you will never look back.

    ST Key Fob

    Just keep the fob in the center console as designed and you will never know the difference.

    Official Curbing Thread

    Exactly. The wife is always going to curb the wheels on the right side. She did the front first and a few months later curbed the rear, saying, so they match now.

    Steering off Center!?! Multiple Wheel Alignments CAN'T Correct!

    Please everyone, don't get an alignment unless you need one. I have worked at several shops and alignments are cash cows, money makers. If you need it, get it done, but otherwise pass. My other vehicle has over 240K miles and never had an alignment. Straight as an arrow going down the road.

    Fordpass or Forscan

    FordPass must work fine. No complaints from the wife. Starts the ST on cold mornings with her phone and locks it up at night with her phone. We never use the key fob, as it remains in the vehicle. I had a few issues with the ST and FordPass usually provided more details about what might be wrong...

    New ST Owner, Bad Luck

    Condolences to you. State Farm is probably a fine company. I have had them for years. Just need the dedicated employees, like any other business. Have USAA for some other things and they are one of the best if you are eligible. Not sure what insurance company my sister in law has, but she was in...

    Doors Lock Automatically

    Since you mentioned this occurs when your ST is parked in the garage, why are you taking the key fob with you? Just keep the key fob in the ST, as designed, and you will never have this issue again.

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    Have a 2020 with 43K miles. Catalytic converter and throttle body replaced under warranty. Yes, I have the exhaust rattle upon start up. Service dept. gave it a clean bill of health at 35K miles. Wife always asking me when is the exhaust going to fall off. No odd sounds from exhaust when...

    Secure Code door keypad may be deleted

    I have only seen my key fob a few times since buying my ST. It is great not having to look for keys anymore. I did have a small problem when it got really cold outside, as the keypad would not light up by touching it. Someone on this forum mentioned to use your palm to light up the keypad when...

    The "Space GhoST" has lost its powers....

    Yes, call Ford Customer Service and they will at least cover some of your rental car expense. They even called my dealer and requested that they provide me with a loaner. Dealers are reimbursed by Ford for loaners, just like any other Ford covered warranty repairs.

    What is missing on the 2022 ST from factory

    If you end up putting roof rails on, try to find them for a 2020 ST. Much nicer looking in my opinion. Later model years Ford just used the more plastic looking rails that were from the base model Explorer. You may find a salvage yard that will allow you to take them off yourself and that will...

    Looking to purchase 2020 ST

    I think you will be able to find some 2020 STs in great shape. Many people like to trade in every 3 years or so. If buying from a dealer, call the previous owner before completing the purchase to see if there are any known issues. Price range should be around mid $30K.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    Yes, never an issue in having to find where the wife put the keys if I decide I want to drive it. If need be, she will start the ST with her phone and she always makes sure that it is locked at night with her phone.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    You got it. We haven't carried our keys in the two years we have had our ST. Well, except when at the dealer for warranty repairs and they insist on having the keys in their hands

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    You cannot pull the hood release lever without having the driver's door open.
