    Best Oil Catch Can

    I bought a UPR dual valve oil catch can for my 25' ST. I hated spending that much $ for what it is. The build quality of the received product is great and I have read no ill opinions other than the same issue I have which is the price. I have a Steeda brand oil catch can on my 2018 Fusion Sport...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Sorry you're butt hurt on my dislike of unions. This 25' ST issue isn't at all my 1st bad experience with Ford or with an Explorer. My last Explorer was a brand new 22' ST I ordered. It arrived with the trailer wiring harness lying on the exhaust, another wiring harness in the 2nd row seats...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I'll start with this - The fact that my original 25' ST I had on order since February, showed up with a dent in the door from the factory according to the car hauler driver, speakes volumes to me! Time will tell how the quality of my new ST (non dented version) is or is not. You cannot fix the...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    This isn't where you post what you did to your ST today but since I've been on a roll with the new 25', I'll finish up here anyway. I installed a Curt trailer brake controller and I installed AirLift helper spring bags. I plumbed the air line into the inside at the back of the Explorer where the...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    25' ST Today: Removed the hood EXPLORER letters and added a hood deflector, then I added silver EXPLORER letters to the hood deflector, added AVS window vent shades, added an AWR diff. brace, and added a start/stop eliminator to the steering column, and added Husky floor mats/liners to the...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Correction to yesterdays post about the UPR hose being 7" too short. I mistakenly routed and attached a couple of hoses to the wrong places. Once I noticed that, I was able to fix the issue. The UPR hose is fine afterall.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I'll make it easy and post it here - We're all in the same boat, give or take a little on pricing anyway. I paid exactly $61K even, with X-plan, out the door for it. The price included Michigan 6% sales tax, new license plate and any & all additional fees.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Picked up the 25' ST today. I bought if from another dealer that is close to me, this one didn't arrive with a factory door dent. I ended up paying $700 more for this one due to Ford issues I bitrched about in earlier posts. I've already added an AFE, CAI, a UPR dual valve oil catch can, and...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I haven't seen the dent but I know it is in the bottom stamped form line / style line of the door. The dealer has offered to swap out the entire door skin or replace the entired door. Those are both way worse and way more intrusive fixes than using filler and repainting the door. I had to...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Update to my saga. I posted above from yesterday. IT's BEEN A COMPLETE SHIT SHOW. I have spent most of my day on the phone with Ford Motor direct and with multiple dealers. Since I was one of the first people to place my ST order when the public order bank opened on 2/2/24, my ST pricing was...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    So.. my dealer called me today to let me know that my 25' showed up that has been on order since 2/2/24. Then he proceeded to tell me it arrived with a dent in the door. The car hauler notified them that it was like that from the stockyard. This is a no go from me. I will not accept a brand new...

    Rear differential noise on decel

    @ 101K Miles you change the ring, the pinion and the pinion bearing. Might as well change the wheel bearings and seals while its all being worked on. If you have never worked on differential ring and pinions and set the backlash before or don't have someone working with you that has, DON'T DO IT...

    Towing w/ the ST

    You may be right. I haven't had my 22' since I traded it in last year and my 25' isn't here yet. I remember with my 22' that either putting it in park, or, only whenever I shut if off, I had to put it back into tow mode if I was towing each time.

    Towing w/ the ST

    Your empty trailer alone is more than 1/3 of the towing capacity of your Explorer. Put it in tow mode the entire time you are towing your trailer and anything on it and leave it in tow mode. In-case you don't already know, you will need to put it back in tow mode anytime you put it back in park.

    Those felt undercarriage panels

    My thoughts are that they are there for better aerodynamics which helps fuel mileage. The added bonus is that they keep things they are covering pretty clean as well. I've never had much issue with cleaning them. I carefully pressure wash them - don't be an idiot, use a fan pattern or wide...

    Transmission woes

    Complete bull$hit excuse the dealer gave you. As soon as the wrench light came back on, that was proof it wasn't fixed. Nothing is learning or calibrating anything to make the wrench light come on. Just another incompetent dealer.
