    Floor liners

    Keep them. They really fit nicely, I wouldn't go as far as saying perfect, but close enough. I had the popular name brand liners in my 2017 and would say that these Ford liners have a better fit in my 2020 ST.

    Low grade (and annoying) vibration between 30-50mph

    Are you using the same wheels with the tire changes? Could be a slightly bent wheel. Something may be loose in a suspension part. Go to another dealer if need be to have it resolved.

    I would like to introduce my ST please

    All the 2020's have gloss black roof rails.

    A really nice tire in your original size would be the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Your ST is really looking sharp. I do prefer no mud flaps on the ST's.

    Trying to do oil change at 1500mi mark

    Okay, sounds good. I was thinking 5 1/2 quarts was a full change. I will see what amount I can pull out at next change.

    Ford Performance ST Experience Swag

    The ST emblem looks to be taped on and I believe the Ford emblem is attached with screws. I have a white ST, so thinking I will just keep the red letters. I haven't done it lately, but in the past you could use a heating gun to remove emblems and goo gone to remove any remaining tape.

    How to disable hands-free liftgate feature???

    Oops, sorry I see that this has already been mentioned and has unintended consequences. My take on this is to just leave the key fob in the ST and use the key pad on the side of door. I never have to look for my keys.

    You can go into vehicle settings and disable hands free liftgate operation.

    Oil change schedule

    Same here. I was able to get filter and oil from dealer parts dept, which was covered by the points you get when you buy a new Ford. I noticed the filter was somewhat different from the one I took out, as the new one had no end caps. I will look for a different brand at next change and likely...

    They make a similar one. I got the EWK 6.5L Manual pump. Use the smaller of the 2 tubes supplied. With filter changed also, of course, added 5 1/4 quarts .

    Trying to do oil change at 1500mi mark

    Just adding that I tried an Oil Extractor for the first time and all went well. I have been changing my own oil for 30 years and this works for me on the ST.

    thoughts on potential purchase (or deposit on build)

    I still see some new 2020's available if you are willing to go that route. Should be much more wiggle room when it comes to pricing. I think you will find mostly non Street Pack versions when it comes to the leftover 2020's. Either way, I feel any ST is awesome.

    Confused on packages

    I also really wanted the Street Pack with the pano roof, but having the Tech Package was not a requirement. In November 2020 started looking at leftover 2020's and located what I thought the local dealer would agree to on pricing. An ST with Street Pack and pano but no Tech. Not so, had to...

    swapped out our 2020 for a 2021 today

    I would ask you what color you switched too, but from the pic neither one is the old one, as both have the temporary dealer tag on the front. I did buy a new 2017 Explorer and then later on traded it in on another 2017 Explorer because I wanted the nicer wheels and interior. Also, the dealer...

    New ST, brake pedal noise?

    I haven't noticed this click, but would think it is related to the mechanism that allows the gear selector to only be moved out of Park when the brakes are applied. I have only noticed this click on my other vehicle when I have had to put it in Neutral when the engine was not running.
