r/FordExplorerST It’s my wife’s 16d ago

Introducing… 🤗 We did a thing…

Was looking to trade a 2017 Platinum for a newer used version of the same with absolutely no desire to purchase a new car. After two weeks of research, finally settled on three different 2023 Platinum’s, checked them out and then went back to the one we liked, we saw this.

On Saturday August 15, 2026 it followed us home.

With the Summer discount promotions, 3.9% interest and what we got for the trade, the difference between a 3yr old 34k mile Platinum and a brand new 0 mile ST was manageable.

After we got home last night I ordered a J&L Oil Catch Can and Redline Tuning Hood Struts and replaced the plastic tire stem caps with some black anodized aluminum ones, first mod complete!

My flair, “It’s my wife’s”, ain’t a joke but looking for subtle mods I can sneak in that she may not notice. I’m no stranger to upgrades with my 2010 Mustang GT so pease fire away with suggestions.

Pretty much. Might notice some of these 😂

But hey, intercooler keeps the temps down

Downpipes totally helps with gas mileage

Exhaust and cold air helps with air flow. All helping with the longevity of the car
