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

    I get a clunk/thud every once in a while when i move back/forth in gear. I *think* it's fuel in the fuel tank as it has that dull hollow sound.

    Per Ford, No future upgrades to Bluecruise

    I thought 2025 did that as well? I seem to recall when i was test driving a few the salesman mentioned it would change lanes on it's own. We never tried it though.

    Catch Can Worth It?

    I've had a J&L on mine for about 12K miles now. Haven't really seen a lot of junk. I check every ~2-3K miles and get a teaspoon of clean oil out of it. I know i might see some condensation in the winter, but I really haven't.

    Replaced the Front Grill Ford Emblem on a 2025 ST

    I love this style oval. Wish these came OEM on the ST I need to find one for the steering wheel now. Black background, but same chrome outline and Ford script.

    Gloss black control bezel upgrade for 2020

    Sorry, i didn't mean to cause any alarm. The matte black buttons look fine with the gloss bezel. Don’t worry about it at all. I was just pointing out the minor difference exists just for information. Gloss on top, matte on bottom. I swapped the HVAC controls out with 2020 units to get...

    Gloss black control bezel upgrade for 2020

    Very minor detail, but figure would add this here. The buttons in that area also changed. In 2020 they were matte, and for 2021+ they were silver. I do think they look fine with the gloss bezel, but just something to point out as a minor difference.

    Softening the ride on an ST?

    I agree with the other poster's comment. I have my '23 ST and my wife's '24 CRV, and I do think my ST rides much nicer than the CRV

    Almost time to replace 21" Pirellis any recommendation?

    Same. I've had 5-6 sets of the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ and love them. I currently have a set on my ST. About 10K miles on them and only a little wear. Very good performance in the rain. About to see what they can do in snow (on this vehicle) tomorrow. Downside is the cost...

    Why Didn't I Get An "ST" Logo Fab? A 2025 Letter to FORD CEO

    Not much at all really. Peanuts per print. $1-2 per print tops assuming a large enough bed area. Key is doing this prints on a high end printer, and not with PLA. I figure 1 hour with CAD, print a sample, and maybe 1-2 revisions. Maybe 2-3 hours of NRE not including print time for the...

    New color?

    I wish Ford would offer more metallic colors rather than the usual black, white and various shades of grey, even though I myself own a Carbonized Grey ST. I'm looking forward towards my next ST or the next gen Explorer and a little bummed with the colors. I was bummed to find Atlas Blue was...

    First Time You Rode In A Powerful Car

    Over the years i've ridden in/driven more progressively powerful vehicles. I've lost track. First legitimately fast car I rode in was when i was 16 and got in my buddies modified '86 Mustang GT. This was back in mid 90's, so by those standards then it was quick. Later on, i rode in my other...

    Heat Fan Blower Motor Location

    Any update? I also seem to have a buzzing/whining sound from my blower motor. Wanted to see if a little lubricant took care of the issue before I take it in for warranty. https://youtube.com/shorts/5OfDNlgh-RY?si=kzyCcNPCUlYfqFqb

    My 2021 has a block heater, the vehicle came from Canada

    My '23 is from Canada. It has a block heater but I have yet to use it. I dislike how the plug needs to be accessed by popping the hood. I assume you cannot fully latch the hood when it's plugged into an extension cord, so I worry since we don't have a safety latch on our hoods I have a...

    Powerstop Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit

    That's a bummer. I already hate how much i have to clean my wheels with the OE pads.
