New owner in MD

[PGas32]

Finally picked my ST up after ordering in late June. Only drove back from the dealer so far and it’s off to the detailer today but initial impressions are good. We needed a third-row SUV so this will compliment our Porsche Cayenne GTS.

The only slight niggles so far are that it showed up with 60 miles on it, and the front plate mount was already drilled. Not sure if Ford or the dealer are at fault for those two...

I took my wife to see ours “pre-prep”, as soon as we heard it had been delivered. You can see there’s still plastic covering the seats. It apparently came from the factory with the front plate mount attached. Wish it hadn’t.

Congrats and welcome aboard

Congrats on the ST, carbonized grey is my favorite color on these.

Congrats. Also will be a new MD owner of an ST hopefully by December. As for the front license plate, what else were you gonna do anyway? MD requires front plate anyway.

With the exception of the Ford trucks I’ve had, I haven’t run a front plate in the 9 years I’ve lived here. I would rather Ford leave the decision up to me instead of riveting three big holes in my brand new front bumper. Not a massive deal on a kid-hauler, but I’d flat out refuse delivery on a different vehicle.

Anyhow, got the new ST back from the detailer and loaded the whole family up for a grocery run yesterday - worked as intended!

The speed limit on I95 is also 65mph

Welcome aboard! Maryland here too! Front plate is installed before arriving at dealer. There are color matching plugs you can install in the holes. They look pretty good and match with.
