Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

[Donut]

Hey all,
My name is Tom and I just picked up my 2020 ST yesterday after my Silverado was totalled. I am a pastor and a Law Enforcement Chaplain in Sioux Falls, SD. I have a love/hate relationship with fast cars: I love working on them and they hate me. When I test drove my ST, it was love at first drive. Now that I have learned what it is capable of with some mods, I can't wait to get my hands dirty.

Greeting All, I'm the fresh owner of a 2025 ST. I have owned many fords but never an Explorer and so far so great. I love the pictures that I have seen and some of the other new gadgets, so I am going to start collecting bottle and cans to afford this habit. View attachment 30290

Howdy and Welcome Aboard.

Tell me, how do you like the air deflector on your hood across the front? I had one on my Class C motorhome and it was great at fending off bugs destined for my windshield. I never thought of putting one on my ST; please tell me more about this particular one?

Are you A "Black Shoe" or Airdale?
I was in the P3 Orions, VP 17 Aircrew, Territorial Waters, Republic of VietNam 1972.

Looking forward to hearing your stories.

I picked up a '25 recently, looking forward to learning more about it...

@Nascarbilly - that would have been an older '94 Cobra w/ the 5.0 that I had but sold ; should have kept it but got heavy into motorcycles for awhile there but now I'm back into cars & trucks again...I think ! LOL

Welcome Aboard.

From the looks of your inventory list you have had some killer Ford Vehicles. Any particular one your all time favorite?

New member here, picking up a 2025 ST tomorrow. I know it is a big debate out there but I found a 400a no option RWD that is perfect for me here in Florida. I know AWD is the preferred but I am not going to be launching from a dig or dragging the vehicle down the 1/4 routinely. Driven mustangs most of my life so used to slip and slide when accelerating in the rain if too heavy on the throttle.

Welcome Aboard!!

I specifically bought mine without the "Sun and Sound" Package because of the sun roof feature (actually dealer found it for me on a train headed to California, I bought it not knowing Ford had already removed it as standard equipment and made the "S/S" package an option back in Dec, 2024). I don't drive in the mud or snow here in Nor Cal so I could have gotten by nicely with the RWD had that choice been on the one I bought.

We have had (4) four Mustangs, two of which were Shelbys. My lovely wife refers to our new ST as a "Grown Up Mustang".
