    SYNC 3 Software Update Question

    Hi All. I tried posting this question as a reply in a different old thread but couldn’t figure out how to bump the thread up for review. So I’m giving it a shot here. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks… I have a ‘22 ST that I purchased used back in September. Knock on wood but for the most part...

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    I have a ‘22 ST that I purchased used back in September. Knock on wood but for the most part my Sync seems to work fine. I don’t think it’s ever any software updates. I’ve kinda followed a few threads on here detailing some of the nightmares after getting updates over time. I’ve been wondering...

    Charging error and battery saver issue

    Thanks everyone. Ended up going to a local parts shop. They ran for codes and it was clear. Battery also checked out fine…just needed a charge. Likely my fault. I do mostly very short drives, like 5-10 minutes. Took it for a good 40 minute drive and everything seems fine now. Maybe a slipping...

    Charging error and battery saver issue

    Hi, I’ve done a search and can’t find much more than this. Last night I got a message from the Ford app that my ‘22 ST was going into a battery saver mode. I went out and started it up and everything seemed fine but now when I check the app it shows the vehicle as “on”. I just bought the car a...

    Trans Smell driving me bonkers

    Amsoil is, to say the least, slick. I don’t have any experience with the trans-fluid….but I used to own a twin engine cigarette boat with the old-school carb’ed 454’s. Asked my engine guy about running their oil. He advised against it due the engine being older and so broken in that Amsoil would...

    2026 Ford Explorer Replaces Vista Roof With Fixed Glass Option

    Totally with you there! I’m in SE Michigan…I’d be lost without it. Just bought my 22…the moonroof was one of the three requirements…that, good sound system and hauls ass.

    2025 Oil Capacity

    Hi everyone…hoping nobody yells at me for this…seems like a topic with a lot of friction involved. I’m relatively new to the forum and to my 22 ExST. Previous vehicle was a ‘17 Focus ST, so I’m not a stranger to EcoBoost engines. The Focus just didn’t have any oil pressure issues on launch. My...

    2025 Explorer ST Insurance Lower than 2019 Edge ST...

    Just went from a 2017 Focus ST to a 2022 Explorer ST….raised my Allstate insurance by like $50 a year. I live in suburban Detroit. Wondered myself why such a low increase.

    Ford First Timer...

    That Rapid Red is just gorgeous! I just bought a ‘22 and that was my first choice color. Just got too hard finding one up here in Detroit that checked the other boxes…ended up going with my 2nd choice (but still a classy look imo) in that cool grey. Nice ride, sir! Enjoy!

    2025 Ford Explorer ST – Two Week Impressions

    Thanks for the welcome! Yeah…I loved that little ST. I always referred to the 6-speed on the console as my “Millennial Anti-theft Devjce”. Haha! That’s a gorgeous color on the ‘Stang. Had my old ST in Kona Blue. The new ST is that smokey grey (can’t remember the name). Looks nice with the black...

    2025 Ford Explorer ST – Two Week Impressions

    Same for me….just couldn’t hack getting in and out of my 2017 Focus ST any longer. Those Recaros were getting to be a bit much as well. Like you said….it’s my grown-up fun car. For being a concession to getting older…this ain’t bad.

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    Hi Everyone, Just moved from a 2017 Focus ST (Kona Blue) to a 2022 Explorer ST Grey). It’s my concession to old age haha! I bought the Focus back when I was younger and a bit more limber. Loved that car. It was a total blast…plus there’s hardly anything you can afford anymore that lets you...
