    Oil Life - Time vs Mileage

    Mileage over time every time with synthetic. Many articles on this and reputable articles are always mileage over time. I have a giant lifted show truck that doesn’t get much mileage at all from year to year - it is a 2004 F150 with just under 17,000 miles on it. The oil gets changed once a year...

    Questions about recalls and build date

    The OP has asked for advice from this forum which he has received in great detail. Regardless of everyones feedback, he's convinced himself that this will all work out for him.

    How to clean/treat dashboard?

    Fist off, I use a sunshade in the windshield during all spring through fall months. That goeas a LONG way at protecting your dash. Aside from that, I have another vote for 303. I've been using it for years.

    Questions about recalls and build date

    This is also a HUGE public safety issue if something were to happen doing this. There's a lot more at risk than just the vehicle.

    Questions about recalls and build date

    I wouldn't think anyone would recommend you pulling an 8K lb. boat with it, especially at a wet boat ramp. You're completely blowing the GVWR and towing capacity by a mile and you want to do that on a slippery ramp. Who on her is gonna say "Sure since it's only for a 1/4 mile or so..". This is...

    Seat Belt Reminder Disable

    It took me many times for it to finally take or keep the command of me wanting it off. At one point I inserted the seatbelt and unbuckled it a lot more than just the (4) times is tells you to do and then it finally worked. On the 25' I have not found anything I wanted to disable or turn off...

    Has anyone had an engine replaced under warranty ?

    I had a 96' Ranger with a 4.0 ltr. that Ford needed to warranty replace the engine at around 10K miles. I had a 2016 Fusion Titanium with the 2.0 ltr. turbo that also had to have its engine warranty replaced by Ford at around 28K miles. I have also had Ford buyback a 2012 Focus for so many...

    Seat Belt Reminder Disable

    You do not drive while doing it. In park with the parking brake on, turn the ignition on but do not start it. Sitting in either front seat you want to deactivate, fasten and then unfasten the seatbelt (4) full times within 30 seconds at a mederate pace.

    Seat Belt Reminder Disable

    The manual tells you how to shut off the seatbelt reminder. It’s easy to do, however it took me many tries to get the command of disabling the seatbelt reminder to stick. The 25’ software is glitchy when it comes to disabling things and Ford already has a fix it list to work on for 25’ software...

    2025 dual zone climate issue

    So, had my 25’ ST in the dealer today. They verified the auto fold mirror issue and the liftgate issue. They wiped out a lot of the logic and reset it all up including a couple of software updates that weren’t showing up in the vehicle when I checked for updates. Nothing changed and the issues...

    Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

    The one I bought from 4D Tech failed within just a couple of weeks, it is being returned tomorrow. I ordered the Autostop Eliminator to replace the 4D Tech one this morning. I had no issues with the Autostop Eliminator brand on my 2022 ST. I was in communication with Jessica @ Autostop...

    2025 dual zone climate issue

    Ford MoCo is aware of the mirror issue. It is a software glitch and is not a process issue with how you activate or deactivate them.

    2025 dual zone climate issue

    Mine goes to the dealership tomorrow morning for the glitches I've found so far. I have the mirror issues and a similar issue with the lift gate. When you put the liftgate in manual mode, it won't stay in manual mode and sometimes it works in manual but most times it reverts back to power...

    2025 ST Brake Controller Connector

    I wish Ford would make a factory integrated trailer brake controller standard with a towing package in all trucks and SUV’s, not just some. They add a lot of other BS no one gives a damn about but they leave something as obvious as this, out.. .

    2025 ST Brake Controller Connector

    I had this controller in my 2022 ST and it was mounted to the fuse panel cover that was in the general area of where this controller is mounted in the 25' ST. My knee would hit it a lot in the 22'. I can say that there is much more room in the lower dash area on the 25' than in the 22'. I do not...

    2025 ST Power Folding Side Mirrors

    25’ ST - I still have the folding mirrors issue where they fold in most of the time while I have the auto folding function turned off in the infotainment screen in settings. Sometimes they don’t fold in and function correctly but most of the time they fold in. I have another similar issue with...
