First Time Ford Owner - Bought a ST

[DC5FTW06]

Happy to be a part of the community. Just got my first ST. Its a 2022 ST in Stone Blue Metallic. Loving every minute of it. Not only is this my first ST but also my first Ford.

Prior had a 2019 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, but had to trade it in.

Welcome. I love the stone blue. Different in dark and sunlight.

Welcome to the form and the Ford family! Congrats on the new buy.

100% agree. The color is beautiful. Looks black but really pops when the light hits it and then you see the deep blue.

Nice! I’m looking to pick one up soon, getting rid of my GC as well.
how do you like the change?

It's been great to drive. Really sits well on the road. Surprisingly the gas mileage is great. I find there is a bit more wind noise though.

The GC felt top heavy, but the air suspension on mine was worth the drive. However in the end that's ultimately why I traded it in. Starting to see issues on the air suspension.

Ha, my thoughts as well.
i hit 100k and the gremlins started and of course max care was over. I wasn’t going to spend money on swapping to springs and have to deal with the other issues. Particularly the terrible dealer service at the 4 dealers near me. They used to be good but in the last year they have been so bad, friends agree. This will be my first ford and venture away from Jeep in many many years.i don’t mind mechanical work when it’s for nice mods but crappy repairs after years … not worth it.
‘19 Overland .. on its way out.

Sounds like you went through exactly what I did and the dealers in my area were the exact same way as well. Got rid of mine with 101,000. Gremlins coming out of all corners. I had to replace one air strut probably at 75,000 miles. Who knows to this date why it even failed but the part along was $1,600. Figured it might just have been a fluke and fixed it but more issues started to show.

I guess we both needed a change. Good luck, can’t wait to get mine.
