    Anyone else get parking lot speed Transmission clunk on their ST?

    I've never experenced that with my previous 2020 nor my 2026.

    Not sure about fogs when in auto but when I want the fogs with amber, I switch the headlights to mode 2.

    Per Ford, No future upgrades to Bluecruise

    How much is the lifetime? Mine had a year (+3mo trial) subscription for $500. It's a nice system but can't see myself getting it every year for $500 annually. Update: so google says the lifetime is $2500.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    The Steeda springs definitely ride firmer. The Eibach is more comfortable and looks better--I do feel it has a "jiggly" feel to the ride though, maybe because they are softer. I even have new PIU struts/shocks.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I was a Steeda fan too. This time, went with Eibach springs and AFe rear sway bar. Would highly recommend you go in that direction. I kept my Steeda strut tower brace v.1 and still love it--it does have spacers but I've never had to remove it so no big deal. Also got the Steeda subframe...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Got a phone mount for my 2026 ST. Got a ProCip on Black Friday sale. Grips both sides of the screen and brace rests securely in back. Added 17mm ball joint and magsafe charger.

    2025 Vapor Blue ST from Las Vegas

    My 2026 Bluecruise has automatic lane changing. I turned it off after it did 3 lane changes in the span of 2 minutes for no obvious benefit... should have just followed the car ahead.

    2026 Order banks open!

    There are some decent numbers of 2026s on dealer lots. My 2020 was totalled so I was in a hurry to get into a new ST. Thankfully they found one without the sunroof but i had to accept it being black instead of carbonized gray. After 3 weeks of driving now, I love it. The interior and tech...

    How the frig do you program home link garage door openers?

    On mine, once I pair it with a garage door remote and verify it opens the garage door, I hit the LEARN button on the opener and then press and activate the Homelink button on the car once more--otherwise the next time it won't open.

    2020+ Explorer front differential fluid guide

    I think most of us use 75W90 synthetic in the rear because that's what is readily available.

    Ohio?

    Thanks. I'll have to go there next. I just didn't think I needed a specialty alignment. I even did the camber adjustment in the rear so they wouldn't tell me they couldn't get the rear in stock range. The real problem at Montrose is they tried to drum up extra charges

    Ohio?

    Pro tip: Don't get your car serviced at Montrose Ford. Brought my Explorer to get an alignment, they tried to ring up extra charges by saying my struts needed to come out and rear subframe adjusted for a proper adjustment. In the end they did a shit job (zero'd the toe but no camber...

    Check Engine Went Off After Battery Replacement

    What codes? If you don't have a code reader, I'd recommend one. It's just something every owner should have for modern cars.

    Safe to run bolt-ons without a tune for a little bit?

    No tune required for any of those.
