Vehicle is currently being built with window sticker becoming available today. On it I don't see anything about omitting the power liftgate. Dealer said this may or may not get included so I'm trying to figure out if it was or not (via the window sticker). Doing some research I see there might be 2 different versions. One with the power assist liftgate where it can be opened by pressing a button near the head light switch. Other is by using your foot to open it at the rear of the vehicle.

My question, which the dealer cannot answer clearly, is which version is being omitted, or both?

The foot activated part. Ford hasn't deleted the power liftgate part.

Correct... my 2023 has no foot detection. Believe they started eliminating them last year. You can open with a button near the license plate near the last 'R. in the word Explorer, a dash button and the key fob.

you never know...they said they were going to omit massaging seats, the foot activated lift gate and the auto stop start on mine.

I have everything omitted except the ASS :cautious:. Like i was looking forward to not have that function...

If true this is great news. I don't care about the foot activated open/close but do need the remote open/close from fob and dash.

As for ASS I was able to deactivate this on my sons 21 Explorer XLT using Forscan and hoping I can do same on 23 ST when it arrives.

I know the one feature that I wouldve wanted ommited is still there. Doesn't matter really since Sport mode is pretty much all I use.
