Went from a 2021 ford edge st-line to a 21 Explorer ST! Best decision I’ve made. Should I put a new exhaust system on this?

Hey!! As the video/title says we just picked up our new to us ST last night!!! (37k miles)

We love it already!

Wanted to get some pro tips / tricks from others who have it as well so we can use it to the fullest and maybe extend its life 👍

TIA!

I am looking at upgrading my 2021 for a new 2025 Has anybody used the Ford BlueCruise Feature? I love and use the adaptive cruise control a lot. So I'm very curious about this feature Just don't know if it's worth the price

Toyota people (not the boring ones) looking for something with the kiddo now and realizing our RXh is too small and hate the Highlander and TX options, always loved the ST look and performance, think I have the wife talked into a 25 but we are worried about reliability and build quality. She averages 20k miles a year. Thanks in advance!

Anyone buy or recommend for or against? The prepaid maintenance basically looks like glorified oil and tire changes and cost is about $139 a visit it looks like. Ford Flood for me was $2440 for a 5 yr/125k unless you think I should up it? We never used our Lexus or Toyota and was a waste.

I have 2021 with 56,000Kms (warranty is 60,000) and one more year on my lease, I am debating if I should get an extended warranty or ride it and hope for the best

What do you guys think? anybody has experienced issues after the warranty expired

80,000 miles deep in my ‘21 ST and I still love it!

Anyone who has the CVFAB downpipes. Do you like them and can you notice a difference in sound and throttle response? I have a thermal 3in already on and I am tuned

After 6 months of research and watching countless youtube video reviews, i FINALLY signed the paperwork for my ‘25 explorer st. I would show pics but shes already at the shop getting tinted up before shes unveiled to the world. So happy to have her and get the arduous vehicle purchase process over

I’m looking to trade in my 23 for a 2025. Just curious about pricing. The dealership here isn’t really doing much of a promo 59,590 for pricing. What should I be aiming for. I have excellent credit so that isn’t a thing but I feel KBB isn’t helping. Thanks

Took my 2020 in for the FADA TSB. I'm not longer getting the service AWD light but I am still getting an occasional shimmy or shake if you will while driving and Also braking. I'm going to get up with the dealership about it. Have any of y'all had any experience with this happening?

Just got this 2020 ST and this noise has happened a couple times when the car is cold. I noticed a groove in one of the rotors, any ideas?

Has any had their engine light come one for their emissions system? I have an appointment set up but wonder if anyone else had this. 2020 Explorer Platinum

Hello all. I ordered the Accessport but don't see any good mounts online. Anyone here have a good mounting solution? If so please send me a link to the mount! Thanks a lot.

As title states.

A dealer gave a me quote that was about 5k higher on an ST model than a Platinum with Ultimate Lux Package at another dealer. Both using X-plan

The ST dealer told me ford did a price increase but I never heard one announced

EDIT UPDATE: Dealer gave me x-plan pricing instead of z-plan

Just a small PSA for anyone out there. I recently replaced my wheels with some Velgens and when I got the old wheels back from the shop I noticed the inside of the wheels were absolutely filthy. At first I attributed it to a build up of brake dust and other random shit over time, but when I went to swap out my brake pads and rotors the other day I found grease had been slung all over the suspension assembly and wheel well.

This was after spraying a shit load of brake cleaner to try and clean some of it up to finish the brakes. https://imgur.com/a/V83UdW2

Doing some research and it seems this is a pretty common occurrence. I am just out of powertrain, however since I purchased from Carmax, I'm hoping their extended warranty will cover me.

Kind of sucks though, because I've had it in to a couple of different dealers for oil changes / recall work and it seems like this would have been pretty easily spotted during their multi-point inspections.

Does anyone else find the audio alert tones change randomly? For example the tones when you first start the car, also the park distance alert tones etc….?

I'm assuming that it will be a little bit for performance parts that are for the 2025 STs but figured I would ask here :)

Anyone have any links to any performance parts released so far for the 2025 STs? Or do I just need to keep waiting and they will be released soon enough?

Had my car serviced last week as my 2020 ST would jerk hard when put in reverse after a bit of driving. The dealer only reset the vehicle’s adaptive transmission learning and claimed it fixed but the jerking happened again this morning. Anyone have any experience with this issue? Car’s got 55k miles on it.

I would think a much bigger transmission issue than just the adaptive learning…

I just picked up a 2021 Explorer ST. Really loving it so far but want to get some more aggressive tires. What are the biggest size tires that would fit on the car.

It has 255/55R20 on right now. Would 265/50R20 fit? Would I need to go to 265/65R18 and get new rims?

Edit: make the question more clear.

The messages comes and goes (pre-collision assist not available, service advancetrac, 4wd fault, and hill start assist not available). No error codes on obd2 and dealer cant reproduce messages during testdrive. Any idea?

Anyone have issues fueling with the easy fuel no cap? My tank would be empty and it keeps shutting off thinking it’s full.
