    Mine was first purchased in May of 2020. My order is still processing, so we will see if it goes through...

    New ST owner

    Thanks for posting this. I ended up purchasing a plan for 6 years/75k miles. Since it's a 2020, it's almost already 3 years since initial purchase. I plan to mod by then anyway, so it'll be fine if the warranty expires at 75k miles.

    New ST owner

    It is a B build. I think it was built somewhere in mid 2020. I will take a look for those issues. I crawled under the car before I bought it, exhaust looked good and sounds fine. The undertray was on, so I wasn't able to check for leaks. Is there any way to see what TSBs apply to my car...

    Swapping 2nd row from captains to bench

    It is possible, as someone has done the reverse (bench to captains chairs). The driver and passenger side have LATCH, the middle seat can only be installed with a seatbelt.

    Sorry for blurry photo, here are the matching STs! (yes, that is a Thermal on the Focus)

    Calling all parents (child seat questions)

    Just to give an update, I pulled the trigger on an Explorer this weekend. For now, we have the Graco True3Fit LX on one side, and Chicco KeyFit30 on the other. The seat with the Chicco base is able to slide back just fine for an adult to get to the 3rd row. The Chicco will eventually have...

    The only open recall is for the camera. My camera has been fine so far, so I will wait until I get the blue screen, if I ever do. How do I get all my modules updated? Can I ask the dealer if there are any TSBs?

    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've been watching the used Explorer ST market in a 500 mile radius like a hawk for the last 3 months. I came close to pulling the trigger a few times, but was often too late. Most of the vehicles I've seen were leased 2020 A builds being returned. Sometimes they were B builds. Prices slightly...

    2023 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Have the massage seats returned for 2023? I've heard that more recent builds have two bolts in the rear, can anyone confirm?

    CVT boots leaking grease

    I could be wrong, but I don't believe there is a recall or TSB for the CV joint boots.

    Need Help with Build Letters

    I'm in the same boat. Currently have a big turbo focus st (which I'll be keeping), have a few 2020s in mind. I heard that the early built ones had some issues, and then some changes were made in late 21.

    Buying used in Q4 2022?

    That would be amazing if I could find a deal like that. Did you purchase recently? What state did you purchase in? I'm in Maryland.

    Fenfab charge pipe w/ SSQ BOV

    Same here! I think my username is the same on dsmtuners / dsmtalk. My first car was a 92 GSX that I bought in 2005. I actually wanted to make my Focus ST sound like a DSM, so it has a Greddy Type S BOV. I wouldn't be opposed to having that sound on the Explorer ST... ‍♂️

    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)

    Thanks for all the input! One other question... What kind of strollers have you been able to fit in the trunk with the 3rd row seats enabled? I have a Joovy Qool and Contours double stroller that are a bit cumbersome. I'm not sure if they'd fit.

    Calling all parents (child seat questions)

    Thanks! Are you saying the captains chairs can slide forward with a car seat installed so an adult could get into the 3rd row?

    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...

    Family hauler upgraded!

    Wow, that picture is basically my driveway goal! I have a big turbo 2018 Focus ST3 which I plan to keep. I'm looking to trade the wife's car for a white Explorer ST inevitably.
