I am in Canada. But, I used a this company https://wheelwiz.ca/.
I purchased my winter rims from them. I am sure there are several similar companies or websites in the USA

Hi everyone! New to the Forum. Since I haven't found MY25 Explorer Order Guide anywhere online, here it is! While I like many of the new things, I was really disappointed to see Magnetite colored wheels on the ST instead of the typical black. I wonder if there will be a black wheel offered later on in production. 401A package is gone, with many options now standard. No more Active Park Assist 2.0, good thing my wife can parallel park. ENJOY!

Agree with all. I’m really disappointed with the magnetite (grey) wheels, hate that they didn’t wide the rear wiper under the top spoiler, can’t give us the option of painted or black plastic fender well caps and are charging $4k for the black roof.

Really want to order one, but I don’t think they’re quite ready yet. Surely, black wheels will come back. Videos show Iconic Silver (but can’t order it). We may need to hold back.

The exterior color choices for 2025 are really disappointing!! Hoping they expand those at some point.

I agree with most of the comments here on this thread, Im likely going to skip the 25 MY

1. No Black Wheels is big issue for me that was the allure of the ST since its marketed as a "Blacked Out" trim

2. No black Ford Ovals, No black lugnuts with the wheels like a $35K Escape or Mustang with BlackPak has.

3. Rear wiper still on glass when GM has moved almost all of theirs. Just lazy engineering.

4. QC is still a big issue, don't see any evidence of that changing.

5. Monetizing BlueCruise is fine but not at that price.

Im waiting for the 25 Tahoe RST to compare.

…considering a Bronco. I’m kind of pist at Ford but if I don’t stick with Ford, I’l never hear the end of it from my die hard Ford boy.

This all started with my 21 F150 power-boost. Computer was a nightmare. Great truck otherwise. Should have stuck with it.
Might as well keep my 23 ST. Ugh.

6. ST no longer offers leather seats, now only ActiveX w/Miko inserts.

What Ford referred to as leather is not real leather. I’m not even convinced many auto companies use real leather anymore?

You’re correct, can’t understand why Canada can order the second row bench in an ST, but we don’t get that option?! Ford is making some very odd cut backs when it comes to options considering the price point of these.

7 seats are not offered for any 3.0l Explorers in USA for some reason. Gotta love that *sarcasm*

Yeah I was super bummed to see the lackluster options. I have a '23 ST in Green and LOVE the color but have a lot of other complaints that the '25 is solving for me. So I guess my only option is to get a color I can live with until I decide to wrap it after my other upgrades I have planned for it.

I don't have one yet, Production I don't believe starts until May if memory serves. So likely wont have a VIN until late May early June if I am lucky.
