2025 ST in build looking for suggestions on mods/ other members favorite upgrades that dont void warranty

[dustinburn11]

Hi All! soon to be 25 ST owner looking for others favorite upgrades that will not impact warranty of the vehicle.
We plan to use this vehicle as a camping/Large German Shepard and Aussie transport vessel. Going to build some custom stairs for our older German that fold out, and likely take out the mid row captains chairs. most likely thinking to rubberize the entire back area to make it close to dog proof and scratch resistant. any suggestions on both performance and cosmetic mods would be great thanks!!

Any aftermarket part can void warranty ONLY if it is the cause for a problem. Otherwise a dealer cannot void it. Honestly, if you are afraid (justifiably) of voiding warranty, I wouldn’t touch the car other than cosmetic mods. The stock car is pretty awesome as it is. Here is a guide I came up with that should be pretty similar for 2025 Explorers:
