Anyone have a 25 ST yet?

Congrats on the New 25 ST you will love it. I have a 25 ST now, previously had a 22 ST bought new and a 23 ST bought new, 22 was totaled with 1200 Miles +-, 23 ST had tranny problems from a month after buying until I traded with 16,000 miles, ordered my 25 in Feb 24, delivered the end of August. I do love it so far tranny way better, smoother etc., love the pickup and go in normal mode, got 258 miles to go before I will put in Sport mode and drive it like I stole it (lol), with a break in of 1,000 miles. First is HR springs and roof rail removal, can't wait. Only problem I found which is apparent with the 25s Key fob, is no visual feedback, either green or red when you remote start, and no light flash when using the fob. And yes, I know the app does it, not the point my 22 and 23 did it and they are the same fobs. Also just got to get used to this new infotainment system, whew. I haven't even thought about the blue cruise yet (lol). Enjoy the ride. Btw there is a 25 + Explorer ST blog, FYI.

My husband and I just took our new 25 out to see exactly what these lights are doing. They definitely light up to the side you turn the turn signal to, so…I got out to see where the light was coming from when he turned into the driveway. It’s the lower fog light. Only the one comes on that matches the direction of the turn signal. And it really puts out a lot of light to the side! I was shocked!

I think you're confusing what adaptive lights are.
For those unaware what it actually does, see vid. I mean if Ford put them on the ST, thats great since they're also brighter. But going by everything stated, main headlamps are LED reflected and NOT LED Projected Adaptive lights, only a Platinum feature.

Picked ours up about a week ago. Rapid red metallic with the black roof. Replaced a 2014 Limited with it. This one definitely has better reaction when stepping on the gas. I always thought the '14' was pretty sluggish when extra power was needed. I do have a question on the door keypad which I am asking about in another thread. Blue Cruise is kind of alright but I don't see myself paying for the subscription after the trial period runs out. I didn't realize when we ordered that the seating area of the seats is some other fabric (Miko) besides leather, are there hints/recommedations for keeping that clean?
I have the miko inserts in my leather seats in my 2018 Fusion Sport. So far there have been no issues with them and they clean up well with water and a towel or any cleaner I've decided to use. An all purpose cleaner to upholstery cleaners have worked fine for me. I have no stains or really any wear on the seats to relay. The car has 65K miles on it.

Hello, With regard to the “Milo” cloth upholstery, pretty much treat it as cloth seats. I hate it. Can’t believe we bought a vehicle with a $63,412 MSRP and it doesn’t have leather interior. Oh well. On the flip side the wife is thrilled, loves the get up & go. The 3.0 is about the ONLY reason I went along with ordering this vehicle. Now if the intermitten rattle from the engine on cold start stops?
