    New 2025 Ford Explorer ST

    Your Explorer looks awesome. Make sure you take advantage of the ST SUV Experience that is offered to original owners. I have done it twice in Asheville with my Explorer ST and Wife’s Edge ST. Only about an hour and a half away from you. You need to register on their website at stsuvexperience.com.

    Smoking on startup after sitting

    I had same issue. It turned out to be oil leaking into both turbos. Ford had to replace both of them which solved the problem.

    ST Nameplate on front Grill

    Another option is to take the ST SUV Experience that comes with your Explorer ST as an original owner. They give you two black OEM ST badges for the front and back of your Explorer. The reason they are black is to signify that you completed the program. It’s a blast. I have done it twice in...

    White smoke?

    Yep, every cold start. It was definitely white smoke, not condensation. Replacing both turbos fixed the problem.

    White smoke?

    Yep, white smoke and a lot of it from both exhausts. It would only happen on cold starts in the morning and last for about 15-30 seconds. When the engine was hot, it would not happen on restarts.

    White smoke?

    I had a similar issue with my 2022 Explorer ST after it hit about 20K miles. White smoke started to billow out of both exhausts on cold engine starts. I took it to Ford and they discovered oil soaked blades and pooling oil inside exhaust turbine housing. They had to replace both left and right...

    Smoking on cold start

    White smoke billowing out of both exhausts on cold starts began to happen after 21K miles. It’s been at the Ford dealer for two weeks now, getting it back today. They had to replace both turbos. Hopefully, that fixes the problem.

    Turbo swap difficulty???

    I had the white smoke issue on cold starts that began to happen after 21K miles. It’s been at a Ford service department for two weeks now, getting it back today. They had to replace both turbos. Hopefully, that fixes the problem.

    Ford Explorer ST Recall 23S23 360 Degree Camera Stop Sale

    Speaking of missing items, isn’t there supposed to be an engine cover on the Explorer ST? I have a 2022 without an engine cover. Also, my wife has a 2022 Edge ST which has no engine cover and no hood liner. I used to own a 2016 Edge Sport which had an engine cover and a hood liner. What a joke.

    EXPLORER ST DRIVING SCHOOL REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
