Hello and welcome to Explorer ST Forum, the premier community for Explorer ST owners from around the world. Please take a moment and post your introduction and let us know a little bit about yourselves.

Greetings everyone,
I just picked up a '22 ST with 22k miles in preparation for a cross country trip this spring. I know a little but am always happy to get ideas and advice. Looking forward to figuring out the dash electronics later this afternoon!

Hello All,

I'm very familiar with the 3.5l ecoboost, my whole family has them either as Explorer Sports or Police interceptor sedans, and I just lost my 2015 Tuarus Twin Turbo due to a drunk driver but everyone was ok. I just purchased a 2021 Explorer Interceptor 3.0 Twin turbo and its absolutely fun to drive. I'm looking forward to see how the fleet ages and hopefully our engines are reliable. I am a mechanical engineer and I work on Semiconductor manufacturing equipment all over North and South Americas. I've been a car nut since my teens and my first love was the Saab 99 Turbo sold in 1978 and so many others over the years of modifying them etc. My Taurus had the Gearhead Tune, plugs, and thermostat and MSD coils and Intercooler. I ran it for 55k miles no issues and fun! I hope the new explorer is as great as I think it will be. Good to be here!

Thank you all! What history of the ST members that have had engine issues? I've searched online but there is not much information other than the faulty intake valves.

Greetings from north Alabama. Picked up a '23 with 16,000 miles on it 3 weeks ago. Really enjoying the vehicle so far, installed the 3" Thermal exhaust earlier this week and love the sound.

Hello all, just picked up a '21 one owner with 40k miles in silver. I come from a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon so the road noise reduction alone is amazing. Not much technology in the Jeep, so needless to say I am a bit overwhelmed with this thing. As far as driving I am in upstate NY and it has been snowy since delivery. Nothing major, just a bunch of 2-3" storms. Car is filthy!!!
Question; Looking for a "ST" shirt, would love to find a black one with a red ST and that is it, anything I see is more for the Focus ST??

Probably will not do any mods, but the vehicle is fun to drive, can't wait for clear roads!!

Welcome to the forum! You could always bring a plain black shirt to a screen print or an embroidery shop. There is a post where someone took a center console cover in and had ST embroidered on it. The two mods you should invest in are upgrading the intercooler and installing an oil catch can. The OEM intercooler is very small! Either way, enjoy her!
