    Bad Vibration After Tire Rotation

    I think if you had done that much damage to the wheel, then you would have had some tire damage also. I bent a wheel years ago when I hit a pothole and the tire blew out immediately. If you have tire damage, that will likely explain the wheel being bent. If not, a possible defect with the wheel...

    What can be plugged into the 120V 2nd-Seat-Row outlet?

    Low wattage items will work fine. Don't try to run a microwave. Power will last for a little while if vehicle is off.

    Terrible weekend with catastrophic ST failure

    They are required to find you a loaner while under warranty, per Ford Customer Service. Ford will reimburse the dealer if they have to get a rental. Easier said then done, of course. Worse case is to get a rental if you need one and Ford will reimburse you, at least partially.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Seeing if you considered other tire sizes, such as 255/55 that some of us have or possibly 265 or 275/50?

    20-22 differences

    Probably not a deal breaker, but I do use my massaging seats about every other time I am in the ST. I sat in some 2022's the other day and noticed that none of them had that option. My catalytic converter on the driver's side has been replaced and the throttle body has been replaced. Also be...

    Oil change

    Nope, there is an oil cap back further on the other side. Nothing is real easy to get to but not too difficult either.

    Post your Dragy times.

    That's why I went with the 20" wheels. I knew, all things being equal, that it would be slightly faster in straight line performance.

    Oil change

    I prefer the oil extraction method some have mentioned and use any quality filter with Mobil 1 Extended Performance every 10K miles.

    Battery Saver Mode and Door Pad Entry

    Just want to add that I use the keypad exclusively. Wife will also use her phone to start on occasion. No real issues and keyfob has not been touched in over six months.

    2020 heated windshield

    Better to have and not need, then to need and not have.

    Massage seats?

    Not a problem at all on my 2020, well at least not yet, haha. I am thinking the 2020 will be a collectors item at some point.

    Gremlins

    It is close to Halloween, could be haunted. Seriously, I bought my 2020 brand new and yes it has been towed a few times at the expense of Ford, but the Service Depts. came through for me. One thought about the feeling of a football in your seat, seems you have turned your massaging seats on.

    SLD OEM Street Pack 21” Wheels and Tires

    How many miles on tires?

    New recall?

    My Service Dept informed me that they have to send in pictures to Ford in order to get the parts right away. They did on mine and had parts within a week or two. They replaced the left side catalytic converter and some clamps.

    Exhaust smell

    Again, it is most likely the catalytic converter. My dealer even showed me a printout from Ford on what to replace when a customer mentions that they have an exhaust smell in their vehicle.

    Result from dealer service center.

    All modern vehicles have this to prevent you from putting the vehicle in gear without applying the brakes. My previous 67' Camaro, not so much.

    4WD Service Fault and Advance Trac needs service

    Yes, known as a love/hate relationship. Likely the sensor in the front axle, something like that. Just ask that they install the new one properly as I had gear oil everywhere when the o-ring was installed incorrectly. Another expense Ford had to cover as it had to be towed.

    Battery Saver Mode and Door Pad Entry

    Also would like any details about this issue as my keys never leave the center console. You are also saying that you can't start the ST with your phone once it goes into sleep mode?

    Exhaust smell

    Yes, I had an exhaust smell in my 2020 ST for several months. I was very close to getting rid of it and then found out it was most likely the left side catalytic converter. Service writer looked it up and said a recall had just come out (this has been sometime ago) and based on my indicating...
