If you're still under the 3/36 warranty, you need to get it installed by a dealer or Ford approved mechanic to retain that warranty. In that case, call different dealer service departments and see which one's seem confident about getting the tune installed. If you're outside of the 3/36...

I paid $695 for the FP tune, the dealer install was $180. Seeing you're out of warranty, it's up to you to whether or not you still want to keep everything FORD. Otherwise, for other people it comes down to installing a 3rd party warranty and breaking the 3/36 warranty or installing the FP...

Great to see the overwhelmingly positive feedback on the FP tune! Dropping over 1/2 second from acceleration times while retaining the factory 3/36 warranty if installed by the dealer or a Ford approved mechanic is what separates this tune from all the other warranty busting tunes. Thanks Ford.(y)

Glad I trashed my extensive collection of automotive journals a long time ago ... https://www.motortrend.com/features/inevitable-vodcast-podcast-episode-74-climate-scientist/ It must also be true Yetis are destroying the Himalayan mountains ecosystem, and there's concrete data blaming the Loch...

Your comment makes generous use of common sense & reason, which will immediately draw the convoluted ire of more than a few who infect this forum. Posts like yours oppose those of the non thinking whiners, who I wouldn't trust to give me the correct answer to "2+2" (much less give me advice on...

Sam's vid needs a second look ... The ST costs between $12k-$16k less, yet remains the performance leader: 2024 Explorer ST 4WD ...... $52,105 US ... 5.3 sec ... 13.9 sec 2024 Acura MDX Type-S ...... $68,450 US ... 5.5 sec ... 14.1 sec 2024 Genesis GV80 ............. $64,850 US ... 5.4 sec ...

Good post Kevin. FORD said the "primary contributor" to the failure was insufficient bearing area, they never said what the secondary contributor was? Lol

James, keep us updated on your acceleration results. I honestly expected you'd get a bevy of helpful replies on your query, give it time ...

A drive sounds good to me too. I appreciate your comments Boyd, seeing nobody else bothered to post their thoughts on the topic.

With all of us talking about "deal breakers", I'm forced to recall that there's nothing else on the market that even remotely touches the ST for performance/price. Add in the FP tune which turns the ST into a low 13 sec SUV that still has a warranty and doesn't break the bank, and now the field...

If you're coming around a corner, a few things could be coming into play that are slowing you down. The Electronic Stability Control might be kicking in, and also what driving mode you were using. Try it in a straight line and in Sport Mode on dry roads, let us know if there's a diff. The...

The ST's wheels could be a deal breaker for me, I love everything else though.

I don't make use of any monkeys either in my discussions, so on that count, we're on the same page. And while we're still wondering why FORD changed from the 2/4 set up, proving their intentions were final with the EPB application is going to be next to impossible. Because by April '22, FORD...

Yeah, until he saw the new 2025 Explorer's entertainment screen and said "I have to have that, that'll be my last one!" haha

The counterclockwise rotation, right?
