    Search function

    Is there any way to allow the search function to accept strings that are 3 characters? There are a lot of abbreviations that could h searched for, but since they're only 3 characters, it doesn't work. For example, TSB, BOV, CDF, etc.

    Fluid temperatures

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what are the normal operating temperatures for oil, coolant, and transmission temp? Do the different drive modes have an effect on the temps as well? I'd imagine sport mode with its higher line pressure would cause some increase in the trans fluid temp...

    20" wheels?

    I am looking to go down from my stock 21s to 20s with an aftermarket wheel. Please feel free to show off your wheel setups! Ideally, the wheel I'm after would be gloss black, have a flush fit, and be lighter than the stock wheels.

    Leaking transmission

    I recently found that I have a very small and slow leak in my transmission. I noticed some red fluid on the heat shield every time I drove. It would especially pool towards the rear of the transmission, sometimes even dripping slightly off of the back portion of the pan. I removed the heat...

    Checking for leaks

    I will probably be taking a few short road trips this summer with the Explorer and want to check for the common leak spots before heading out. The one I'm most concerned about is the hub actuator/front axle disconnect. Can I peek under and see it, or do I have to remove the splash tray? I...

    Painted the ST on the seats

    I used a Paint Marker to color the ST. It's difficult to be precise.

    Screen going black

    I have an issue with the screen being black after turning on. I can reset it with power and next track, but it has been happening more and more often. Any idea what would cause it?

    Window close issues

    I'm having some intermittent issues with my passenger front window. When I close it, it hits the top, and then automatically goes back down all the way. My initial thought was that it was not in the track. But that shouldn't cause it to go back down all the way. What could be triggering it...

    Other turbo upgrade options?

    I know that there are upgrades available from CR Performance and Pure, that basically modify the stock turbos. Do these generate significantly more heat than the stock ones, since they are still using the stock frame? Are there any other options in development? I'm no fabricator, but I...

    Drive Mode differences

    I did a search but couldn't really find anything. I just want to get a better understanding of what the changes are in the different drive modes. For example, I can tell that Sport mode stays in gear and seems to do some engine braking when the throttle pedal is not depressed. What is...

    New ST owner

    Hi all, I've been lurking for a while, but finally picked up an Explorer ST. I wanted a 2020 for the rear end bolt and the features that weren't deleted. I picked up a used 2020 with only 20,800 miles. I also have a focus ST. What are some good maintenance items I should do? I was going to...

    Buying used in Q4 2022?

    I looked at a few new 2022 Explorer STs, they were about 66k OTD. That is a little more than I want to spend right now, so I have been considering used ones. With the current state of the market, and high finance rates, has anybody been able to score a good deal on a used 20 or 21 Explorer ST?

    Calling all parents (child seat questions)

    I'm in the market for an Explorer ST. I currently have 2 young children, we may have more in the future. I'd like to be able to seat my in-laws in the 3rd row occasionally. Which second row seating did you opt for? Captain chair or bench? Are you satisfied with your choice? Are adults able...

    Hello from prospective buyer

    Hey everyone! I have a Focus ST with a big turbo, and my wife has a Mazda SUV. We love the SUV, but after the wife has felt the pull and sounds of the Focus ST, she wants a fast SUV. I think we are going to pick up an Explorer ST eventually. I will probably just be reading and searching...
