Interior Whie these vehicles have the capability to be really fast vehicles, the main point of SUV's are to be nice interior-wise. There aren't too many mods interior-wise, but you can find some ones below. Lincoln Aviator Screen Swap Anybody that has dealt with the 10" Sync3 screen knows...

Wheels Who would have thought a 4,000LB. SUV could spin all 4-tires and run 11’s in the quarter mile all day long!? To put all that AWD grip to use, a good wheel setup is needed. Thanks to @UNBROKEN we have the perfect wheel formula. The best setup is 22x10.5 et.30 wrapped in 305/40R22 or...

Suspension Rear Sway Bar The rear sway bar will completely transform the way that this 4,000LB. SUV. Steeda and aFe are the two manufacturers of aftermarket rear sway bars for the Explorer ST’s, and I would recommend aFe. As far as performance goes, Steeda is slightly better but Steeda’s sway...

Intercooler The #1 modification everyone needs on their Explorer ST is an upgraded intercooler. Any quality intercooler (CV Fabrication, Whipple, Steeda, CPE) are all the same performance wise, and are more then 2-times the size of the stock intercooler (which is the same size as the Focus ST...

Exterior Who knew that the Explorer could transform from a blocky SUV to a Mustang beating sleeper? Why not show that power in the exterior? Hitch Cover The hitch-cover will give the rear of the ST a cleaner look in the rear. There are a few options to choose from, from the likes of Waido...

Exhaust This part is highly subjective, as the “perfect” exhaust note depends on one’s taste. I will summarize this section. Cat-Back Exhaust The stock catback, though extremely quiet, is actually not that restrictive. Upgrading to an aftermarket exhaust will not net a worthwhile gain if you...

Not available on 2025+ ST's due to PCM being locked ECM Tuning This is the most important effective modification. Just an ECM tuning can bring the quarter mile times down to Low 12’s. There are quite a few options when it comes to tuning so I will just recommend the best for each purpose...

Hello everyone: As much as I know @UNBROKEN loves answering questions about "is an intake worth it" or "what exhaust system gives me the best gains" I have pulled quite a bit of information regarding aftermarket parts for the 2020-2024 Explorer ST. I hope this helps everyone and this would be...

Welcome!

Usually +30 offset is the only way to go, but that stance is awesome! Welcome.

The engine and Transmission are still cold. You have to wait until the car is truly warmed up to expect optimal shifting. That being said you shouldn’t feel very abnormal shifting.

The transmissions on these cars notoriously are underlined from the factory. Normally Ford states you can wait until 130k miles, but I don’t think it would hurt to it now.

Crazy you traded in a Dark Horse. Must’ve not had it long. You won’t be disappointed with this platform. Very capable. Welcome and congrats!

Those are custom wheels that you won’t find with mounted and balanced tires. Specs are 22x10.5 +30 wheels. Vossen, Velgen, Superforged are very popular choices.

Absolutely no coolant. Transfer case maybe.

Correct, S&B has best flow, but aFe has best flow at turbos. Intakes are just not worth it though, only for looks. It’s your car obviously I’m just here to educate you.

My bad I was thinking Highlander. Grand Highlander is nice.

It is very well documented, all around the forum, an intake is not worth it for the price that it costs. There are barely any performance gains.
