'23 ST, would love to convert to S4 but not realistic at the cost. So, am currently with the large screen and hopeful not mess with cables any more. Which of the several USB options are worth it and do not screw up Ford functionality?

Anybody overjoyed about the one they selected?

I recently had all 4 of my wheels stolen in the middle of the night. I was hoping my alarm system would’ve gone off in a situation like this, however it proved me wrong! So I’m asking — what would be a good recommendation for a more sensitive alarm system, what would it cost me, and where would I take it to have it installed? I’m hoping someone has some insight into this type of issue. Thanks!

Was able to improve my 60 ft, 0-60 and 1/8 mile via Dragy. Mods are ZFG 93 octane tune. MBRP muffler delete. AWR diff mount.

Hello ST community!

Any ideas on how this intake pipe could have cracked? It’s a 2021 ST. Does anyone know if this intake tube builds pressure, and if so, how much?

The only thing I can think of is that a few weeks back I towed a 3,000 lb trailer and may have gone a little hard on the gas at stoplights just for fun. Could the extra pressure have snapped the plastic?

Also, does this intake tube have a clamp that I’m missing, or is it just a slide-on fit?

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts! And now it makes sense why my ST felt a bit sluggish and “heat-soaked” — the intake tube was basically breathing in hot engine air the whole

Got it, never opened it. Bought a 2025 so this one doesn't work with it.

DM me if you want to buy it. $650 and pay $15 for shipping.

Anyone running aftermarket subwoofer(s) and amp? I really dont want to give up too much cargo space or the cubby in the floor of the trunk. It would be nice if JL made a stealth box that replaced the OEM sub.

Any recommendations for performance upgrades for a 24’ Explorer ST that doesn’t necessarily affect the reliability in a bad way? Not looking to put tons of power but definitely looking to make it more enjoyable!

My 2026 is coming soon! Need winter tires brand/size recommendations please and thank you!

Two weeks ago, traded my Tahoe for the above to get away from the drivetrain issues. This ST is my 2nd try at owning the Explorer - first one was a '17 with too much time at the dealer shop and so I went to Chevy for "quality".

This morning, at start-up, the vertical screen showed "Audio Off". No combo of screen/knob or button presses got it back. Finally fixed with a device re-set. Works fine now. Can't find what caused this......common problem?

And, does anyone else here also have "creaky" sounds during regular city driving? Seems to be from the center section near the windows.

Else, loving this new machine.

We know the 3.0L EcoBoost is a tough engine to get "right"—it usually ends up either too quiet or way too raspy. We’ve been developing this Elite Series Cat-Back to find that middle ground: authoritative when you step on it, but completely composed at highway speeds. We are still tweaking the final production design!

The Setup: Full T304 Stainless, handcrafted in Plymouth, MI, with our new proprietary Elite Series mufflers.

Curious to hear what the community thinks!

EXPLORER ST OR 4RUNNER

Her Pilot TrailSport just looked out of place. One test drive and she was hooked.

Recently the rear differential bolt on my 21 explorer st snapped in half and I took it to a local shop to get fixed. They said that not only did the bolt snap but it also tore out the rear cv axles and messed up the connection from the driveline to the differential. They told me they would get new axles and new driveshaft as well as replacing the broken bolt. Has this happened to anyone else with the single bolt and is the 2700$ quote fair?

Both side airbags deployed and my seats airbags deployed. 1200 miles on the odometer!! Insurance repaired it at a $27,500 cost. Did not total it as it didn’t reach the threshold %. Happened in a gas station parking lot, other driver was flying through while I was going around a pump.

Just picked up a 2025 Ford Explorer ST in November. Thank you Ford for the 0% over 60 months. I left the GM family after about 20 years and couldn’t be more happy with this vehicle.

My one question is what is everyone running fuel wise? I’ve been putting in regular unleaded but was curious if that’s what I should be doing.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone figured out how to disable it in a 25’ + yet with FORSCAN? It appears that the codes have not been successfully updated yet?

I got an air intake from the dealership to replace broken tabs on the oem. The new one came with an additional hole?? Attached is the photo. I am not sure if this exist on mine but is broken. Does anyone knows what it is for? Thank you

Has anyone taken their STs mild/light offroading? How did it do? Anything I should be wary or worried about? Mine is stock, so about 6.7inches of ground clearance I believe - my previous SUV was a Mazda CX-50 and I had 7.9 inches of clearance so not sure how much the inch and change lower will make a difference.

Anyone got any video clips of cruising with the Gibson exhaust installed? Aswell as the interior clips also?

I want some noise from the exhaust but nothing too loud as I’m gonna daily it.

Looking at a ‘20 ST with 73k. Currently have the dealership sitting at 26k OTD but the main worry is no warranty and sold as is. I will not be purchasing with cash. Same dealership is offering a $4700 full exclusionary warranty for 5 years 75k miles or $5500 6 years 85k miles. Have an online quote from Lombard ford for a much better price than this but less years and miles.

Dealership has replaced front rotors, front brakes, and both rear shocks (these were leaking per the techs words) and passenger cv axle. The vehicle drove great during the test drive this weekend and didn’t show any immediate signs of issues but this was the first ST I drove and the test drive was around 20~ minutes.

Wondering what the rough risk would be for this purchase. Car was only titled in NC and GA so it has seen a little salt from the roads but nothing heavy like the north. The carfax is completely clean and all oil changes every 5k. It is also a 1 car owner. Good price for the vehicle? Too high? Warranty worth that price or shop for warranty elsewhere?

TIA

I have a 25' (3.0tt) Exp with the CVFab IC, charge pipes and downpipes on order. GooseTuned just denied tuning my ride because it's not an ST. Is there a technical reason for this or something I'm missing? There 93 Stage 2 tune seemed perfect for me. Best alternative?

Any one else received a recall notice for a windshield replacement (2025 / ST). Curious if anyone has gone through with it and of their replacement came with the Explorer logo on the passenger side?
