New owner 2021 Carbonized Gray

[Maverick3009]

Just picked up my first ST recently. A 2021 Explorer ST in Carbonized Gray metallic with just over 23k on it. Previous owner already did a handful of solid mods to it but I'm gonna swap some of them out in the future, these will hold me over for now though so I'm in no rush. It's got a Borla ATAK cat-back with the carbon fiber tips, AFE Momentum GT intake, Steeda lowering springs, Steeda strut tower brace, Steeda rear sway bar, Turbosmart BOV, and UPR Dual valve catch can.

Sooner rather than later I'll probably add the Steeda diff brace (it is a 3 bolt diff). Also need to go ahead and make a warranty claim, the bottom of the front cup holders is falling out which I didn't noticed when I bought the car but that's not a huge deal and I've heard it's common.

I'm looking forward to having a fun DD for once. Let me know what you think!

Congrats! Just a quick tip, the ID-Speed brace is better then the Steeda brace and costs the same.

Not familiar with the ID speed one I don't think. I'll look into that one. Thanks man!

It was here before the Steeda unit, and has far superior bushings. Not many people know about it but it is far better than the Steeda unit. Plus, the Steeda unit has had problems with their bolts snapping.

Literally right after I responded to your last post, I went to one of the ST groups on facebook and the most recent post was a guy who came into his garage and found 2 of the 3 bolts that go into the subframe snapped off. Not sure the rhyme or reason but that pretty much sealed it for me.

Best...color...welcome!. Glad you got a thread started, was going to say you should post a pic in your other thread.

My first choice was the dark forest green but those are so damn hard to come by but I do love the carbonized gray

Well done sir, I wanted to find a lightly modded example myself.

Congratulations and welcome! I'm a fellow new owner of 2021 gray ST. Mine is unmodded at the moment, but I'd like to upgrade her, so your thread is very helpful. Nice find with the low miles! I was happy with 38,000 miles on mine.

Here’s my modding guide which should brief you on all the mods:
