(Delivery update) Made the Domestic Switch To a 2022 Explorer St - Forged Green Metallic

[RandomPilot]

Finally took delivery, and I was worried because I had never seen the colors in person, but I have to say I’m obsessed.

Hey Hey everyone, Just got the call this morning from my dealership that my Explorer had come in early and was ready for pickup, heading there Thursday for delivery. I went with the ST w/ Tech package in Forged Green Metallic, which I'm pretty excited about. My only complaint and it's my own fault for not adding them in the order is that it doesn't include the all weather rubber floor mats with it from the factory, which my Audi did...bummer. Made my appointment for next week to get the windows tinted and the entire vehicle wrapped in paint protection film (Expel) and then ceramic coated. I have plans to do the Steeda kit for the intercooler and calibration, so if anyone in Kentucky knows a good performance shop, shoot me the info. I'll post some pictures Thursday once I get it home, but I'll attach the one the dealer sent me this morning. My past few vehicles have been Audi SUVs (Q5) so I'm looking forward to something new. Cheers guys

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Word of advice, I'd wait on that Steeda Pack until warranty is up. Warranty will save you hundreds maybe thousands of dollars. Ford Accesories sell rubber floor mats and their amazing. Weather tech is great also.

Congratulations on the new ST and welcome. Nice color!

I just picked up the All Weather mats from my dealer, they had them in stock for $200.

Nice fit too.

Yeaaaaa, that’s a good point.

For whatever reason they don’t have any on stock, story of post COVID life I reckon.

I don't think everything is on nationwide back order. STEEDA has them in stock (and cheaper too!):

Did you ever order them from Steeda? They still show as having them in stock.

Nah, I found another dealer local with the full set in stock actually

Okay, cool.

If it isn't too late, look into Husky mats.

I might because I hate the Ford ones. The actual dead pedal is half the size of the cutout on the drivers side mat.
