We have owned a 2020 ST and now a 2022 ST. From all the cuts Ford has taken, 2022 will most likely be the last exST. Unfortunately, our 2022 is a late build, and when Ford started to remove features. I miss my 2020 ST with all the small extra features and better build quality, but do not miss...

Confirm your numbers at a weight station and drive carefully. Sales people will tell you "ya you can tow that with this", when on paper it can, but the real world says otherwise. There's a picture of a newer Tahoe going around this weekend, where the traveling trailer flipped. Sometimes you...

I don't pay attention to the driver, I pay attention to the vehicle. Having been involved in a couple of accidents (not at fault) and over a dozen close calls, I always drive defensively. I try to predict the vehicle's next move and always put myself in a situation where I can easily escape any...

^THIS Time to cut your losses and move on. Or take it to the next closest dealer and explain the whole situation to them, so they understand what they are walking into. It sucks to unload it to someone else and have it be their problem.. but, hopefully they do their due diligence and see this...

I see you are in Sycamore, which is not too far from me. I am in Pingree Grove. I made the trip all the way there, and they were worth it! It is nice having a shop that deals with Explorer STs.

P&L Motorsport can take care of you. They have done multiple STs in the Chicagoland area. They installed my exhaust in the fall and hopefully one day will return for springs/alignment.

I researched this recently, as I am also looking to purchase one soon. So far, I am going with Console Vault w/Key. Just waiting to see if they have a sale soon, best I could find is 10% off using JT10 ( i think ). I want one with a key. Yes, you will have to have it with you, but you will more...

It's most likely buildup on the inside of the windshield. Get a mixture of 50/50 water and isopropyl alcohol 70% for your cleaning solution and a waffle weave MF towel. You might have to do multiple passes to get it clean. Do it for the inside and outside of the windshield, always using a clean...

An easier solution is to just buy the gloss black or carbon fiber center console covers you can find on Amazon.

Yes, Captain Obvious over there lol.... Of course, the experience is great and fun. Just sucks that not only has the Explorer ST been losing features over the years, but now the black ST badges are no longer given at the event. It was like a badge of honor for attending, and you could tell who...

Really!? Damn, that sucks. Now I am regretting not pulling the black ST badges when I traded in my 2020 ST.. What do they give you now?

Just to name a few things off the top of my head my late build 2022 doesn't have, that my 2020 did. Roof rails are not painted; 2020 mine were painted No heated windshield for the front wipers No push button for second-row captain chairs to slide forward No 4g hotspot No front/rear camera...

Hello, We're going on a few road trips this year, and I have been trying to find something that has a perfect fit in the ST for a second-row center console. I see a few on Amazon, but I'm curious if anyone here has tried one. My 2020 had the center console, which my daughter used all the time...

2020 and 2021 were the best years for the ST regarding features. I miss a lot of the little features my 2020 had, and my 2022 is missing. Hopefully, the next refresh brings major changes and brings back some of these removed features. So far, I don't see myself going back to another ST after...

The ST is the perfect road trip vehicle! With my current ST, we have taken it from IL to Galveston, TX. This year, we are going to be doing a one-week National Park trip, and I estimate that we will travel 3,500 miles in total for that trip. Then, for the Christmas holiday, we will be driving...
