    NGK Plug change, and don't go to Ford to have it done.

    Better yet - Change your own plugs and save a lot of wasted money paying someone else to do a rudimentary task. It's not hard to do, only a bit of a PIA from working space limitations. **Now I did pay a dealer to change plugs in my truck one time but that was only because Ford tried to reinvent...

    Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

    I had a 4D tech on my 25' and it lasted 3-weeks before it failed. By the time it failed, Autostop Eliminator finally came out with theirs. I bought the Autostop Eliminator and all has been well since then except for certain over the air updates messing with it to where you need to unhook the...

    2025 bench install

    I sure would like to know why our 25's her in the states did not have the option for the 2nd row bench seat. In Canada they were an option on 25's. I hate the captains chairs on my 25' and wish I could have ordered it with the bench seat.

    '26 ST New Guy

    Nice new ride. You do know that replacing the strut brace is only a cosmetic upgrade. It will not perform any more or less than the stock stamped steel brace.

    22 ST Drone Sound During Deceleration

    Clearly they can tear into your vehicle without pinpointing the exact issue because they already have. It just hasn't worked out in their favor so far. By them doing this, they have acknowledged an abnormal issue. Its now on them to find it and RESOLVE it. You have the service write ups so...

    Merry F'in Christmas! Some People Suck!

    That is awesome! Maybe add a rivet or a couple of tack welds to the new ones so no one can just walk off with them again.

    Location for mounting switch panel

    I added a hidden, behind the grille lightbar on my 25'. I put the on/off switch on the panel under the headlight switch as the picture shows. It's a terrible spot !! I use the lightbar a lot coming home from my deer hunting spot because there are a ton of deer always crossing the roads on my...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Too much $hit controlled by a single item. Makes diagnosing and the cost to fix items related to the BCM absurd. If one thing goes bad that's controlled by this BCM, you need to buy a new BCM..

    They keep voting Democrat there so they get what they voted for.

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    I always find it interesting that recalls occur and all to often no parts are available for the recall yet they keep on pushing out the brand new vehicles with the parts they cannot get to satisfy the recall. Their priority is not the post purchase consumer experiencing the problems. It's all...

    Bought a New 2025 Explorer ST

    Well, I’m pretty sure I did until you decided to chime in and resurrect and old thread. Must be a slow day for ya.

    They are updating the oil drain plug at parts department

    What are you talking about being a 1-time use? The stock drain plugs are not a 1-time use. If you've been replacing yours everytime than you are a sucker.

    correct black touch up paint for black 2022 ST wheels

    When I had my 22' ST I used a simple oil based black paint pen on rim chips. It looked fine but granted, they were only chips and not larger scuffing. For larger areas I would use a good quality spray paint and mask off appropriately. That's just my opinion.
