Newbie from TN

[pyroguy]

Hello from TN! I purchased my first Ford over the weekend, a red 2020 Explorer ST. While I've had 4 F series trucks for work over the last 13 years, and put approximately 500k on them combined, this is the first time I've ever owned a non-GM vehicle. So far so good. I have to say the Explorer ST really caught my eye and my wife LOVES it. I'm eager to learn a lot of information about this vehicle and I appreciate any advice on what to look for, what to look out for, and any good advice on what is liked or disliked. Here's at the dealership while trading in my wife's 2014 Impala in the background on our new ride.


One thing I will add, is how do you turn off the flashing speed limit sign with the cruise control? That thing is freaking annoying and changes my cruise control which kind of pisses me off. Other than that, it's great.

Useing adaptive cruise control will turn off the flashing speed limit. Enjoy the ride.

Welcome!

If you go into the Settings, Driver Assistance, Cruise Control, change it from Intelligent to Adaptive or Normal. This will stop it from changing your speed on you automatically.

Thanks guys for the help on changing the "Intelligent" cruise control off. I wish I could get the flashing speed limit sign to go away, but at least it isn't changing my speed on me anymore.

bmidd, I'm from south of Nashville along I-65.

There is a setting to disable the flashing speed limit sign as well, check this thread out https://www.explorerst.org/threads/how-to-stop-speed-limit-icon-from-blinking.187/

It's just another setting you can change. I did that also on day one, I just couldn't for the life of me remember how to get to it.

Hope this helps!
