I did a quick search for running boards for 25 ST and there are many options.
From $250-$1250+.
There is a Facebook thread on the topic as well. I do not have an account there so, I'm not sure what data is shared.

Hello everyone, I got rid of my 2022 Nissan Armada for the 2025 Explorer ST. I picked it up back on April 29th and I love it so far with about 600 miles thus far. It's carbonized gray metallic and just had the front windows tinted to match the factory tint. My back is just a little achy at the moment as it tries to adjust to the new seats. I enjoy driving and love all the tech features.

Howdy. Picked up a new '25 Explorer ST (black with sun+sound package) on Saturday (last night) for my wife and I to replace our BMW X5. Previously had an F150, and also currently have a '23 Bronco Badlands (lots of upgrades) -- I'm somewhat active over on the Bronco6g forum (Gluestick) and new to the Explorer ST. Fun fact: I used to work in the plants where the ecoboost v6 blocks are cast.

Big thanks for the spreadsheet over here on Forscan updates I can make. Was hopeful about making global window open do all four windows and to enable global window close, but so far no dice. I did disable double honk on exit, the fake engine noises, enable amber DRLs, get rid of black box on camera in motion. That was all great. Would love to keep up with any other changes that come available.

Looks like first modifications won't be a ProCal or ZFG tune on the '25 either :( but it looks like lots of folks recommend upgrading the rear sway bar, and I like some of those trailer hitch / diffuser add-ons people have made. Happy to take advice and be pointed in the direction of getting the most of this ST!

2025 Ford Explorer ST - Vapor Blue
Hey peeps. I bought my 25’ Vapor Blue ST back in November 24’ and besides a few little hiccups here and there, love this vehicle. Im coming from having a 600awhp Evo 8 (still miss that car) that I sold back in 2017 so that I can buy a house for my family and newborn baby girl and then in 2018 bought a Dodge Durango RT. I bought the Durango before I really knew much about the Explorer ST and as soon as I did learn about the v6 twin turbos, I immediately regretted my decision. Don’t get me wrong, the Durango was a nice SUV, and that sound of that Hemi with aftermarket exhaust was amazing, but to me, coming from my EVO nothing beats the sounds of those turbos spooling up, quickly followed by the sweet sound of that BOV. Fast forward to October 2024 and I got rear ended by someone who shouldn’t have been driving in the first place, but thankfully they had insurance. My 2018 RT only had 20K miles on and was in pristine condition with some decent mods and my insurance company totaled it and gave me a big fat check. My plan before the accident was to give my RT to my wife after paying it off (which was only in a couple of months) then buy a 25’ ST, but that plan quickly went to poo when the accident happened, so I decided to take that check and go buy the ST. I originally wanted carbonized gray but the dealership didn’t have one and then the Vapor Blue started to grow on me with how it changes colors in different shades of light, and that my OCD wont go crazy with seeing swirl marks on the darker colors like I did with my black RT. Anyways, after a bunch of mods and maybe just a couple more to go (lol….I honestly don’t think it every ends), very happy with the 25’ ST even though sometimes it decides it wants to do weird things like not open the doors (happened once) and occasional weird pop ups on the dash that always seem to resolve themselves, but when I drive this vehicle, I am all smiles. My kids love the turbo and BOV sounds as well

I just added the wheels and tires and I am still waiting for the HR springs to drop it a little bit. That ass just sits too high for my liking lol. Mod list in the sig
