Sounds like you have experience but just double check your sub amp settings before you start pulling panels. To get to the subwoofer harness is kind of a pain...

Either have the shop trouble shoot this since they installed it, or double check their work. The link below is the definitive forum how2. You should set the LC2i for Accubass 0--you shouldn't need it. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/added-a-rockford-fosgate-amp-and-jl-audio-10-sub.5164/

That, I don't know. I just got the notice in the message box but I can't seem to find a list of recent updates.

That is correct for the Android infotainment. I got a notification a week or two ago saying there was an update to the Ford diagnostics.

Update: went to the dealer parts department who took my VIN and says there's an illustration for it but there's also a note: "Left side only". WTF Ford! I'll have to get it myself...Have to believe it'll cut down some road noise, improve aero and also protect.

I was getting ready to remove the plastic retainers that commonly fail on the undershield but when i went to do the passenger side, I noticed there was none. Can someone with a 2026 look under their car and tell me if you have one? I can't imagine this is correct. Passenger side Driver side

I'm with you. Ever since I saw an parked Audi drift back in a parking lot and hit another car (slight incline), I thought the auto park is where it's at.

Alcantara is a brand. Any car manufacturer that uses it will advertise it as such so it isn't it. That said, there are generic materials that are pretty similar. I like what Ford is using a lot. Just don't take any solvents to it and you should be fine.

Before I switched to 2026, my 2020 started having similar symptoms. Vibration at a stop light, especially in winter. Park or neutral or drive, it would immediately go away. It was not the engine or trans mounts. I suspect something going on in the trans. At least you get a new rear...

Sync3 version 23188 came out early 2024. You absolutely need to upgrade to that because earlier versions had problems--even some so bad that it made upgrading versions problematic. You can check your version by looking at settings in your Sync. Go to the Ford website and follow instructions...

To be clear, I have a JLT

I pulled mine from the 2020 and installed it on my 2026, no problem.

I would never recommend JXB inserts on a 2 bolt. When I removed mine due to noise, I noticed that the hollow metal part of the mount was deformed. After the recall, the metal center part is solid metal but I'm still not putting a JXB on.

Thanks. My 2020 was rear-ended and totalled (to my surprise).

I absolutely love my 2026 ST coming from the full-featured 2020 ST. A lot of those deleted features I really don't miss or can live without. I never used the active parking. I don't miss the camera sprays or the heated wiper rests. The foot-activated liftgate I miss but I've learned to live...
