    Rear Brake issues

    How did you know? Was there noise from the rear brakes?

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    I think it does both but gets confused sometimes. My 2013 used only the GPS for speed limit and it made a lot of mistakes and also I was too cheap to update the nav software. LOL

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    The camera is reading certain signs wrong. But the other funny thing is when on a main road, it sometimes reads the lower speed limit of the parallel service road and adjusts.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    Mine used to do this on sunny days in the same location and all I could see were shadows from trees on the pavement. Also sometimes the reverse brake assist will think there's an obstacle when it actually pavement markers. Even funnier the speed sign recognition confuses a route 185 sign for...

    Screen display showing 4 wheel traction...where did it go?

    Mine reset today for some reason. All of the screens I had selected and the tachometer disappeared. I had to go into display settings to check the boxes I wanted to display and tach. Yet another "mind of its own thing" with this vehicle! This happened several months ago after it had been in the...

    Let's See Some Photos From The "Rich Copper" Gang

    It's a brown metallic that looks black in most lighting. It is beautiful in bright sunshine! That dark green is the same type of color.

    ST Video

    Great video but why only 360? It deserves full HD 1080p!

    Screen display showing 4 wheel traction...where did it go?

    Press the menu button and display setup lets you configure which information to display there. Somehow yours got reset. There's a list of items with check boxes and you can select I believe up to 7.

    Sunroof vs no Sunroof

    The first vehicle I bought was a 1995 Mercury Mystique fully loaded except sunroof and CD player. I kicked myself for not getting both of those for the next 8 years of ownership. After that every car I've owned has had one!

    Sunroof vs no Sunroof

    I had a 2013 MKZ with the gigantic panoramic sunroof which was one of the greatest features of that sedan. At 5 years old, it needed repairs and took over 40 days to repair the mechanism under extended warranty luckily. I still don't regret that purchase because it was an amazing view out of...

    Getting irritated with some of the driver assist functions

    And while you're at it they should remove all guard rails!

    Who turns around and admire their Explorer ST after parking it?

    Being someone who never really liked SUVs and this is my first one, I am TOTALLY in love with mine despite its quirks and flaws. I've taken so many photos of this thing, it's embarrassing! I've never had children or pets but now I understand why people take so many pics of them.

    Anyone else getting crazy good mpg?

    The REAL MPG is about 1.5 to 2 MPG lower than what the trip computer says on the instrument panel. Just yesterday my dash said 18.5 and actual MPG was 16.3 MPG.

    What would you have purchased if there were no Explorer ST?

    The 2.7 turbo V6 is only available on the Edge ST. Other trims get the 2.0 T.

    Transmission whine

    I've noticed that if you're too light on the gas pedal from a stop, it actually shifts rougher than if you put some gas into it.

    Headlamp Switch Changes Position

    I captured it with photos this time! It has happened once a month for the past 6 months or so. As you can see the lights are on and the switch is "alseep." Once you turn it it resets and you can set it to auto or any position with the LED lit up.

    ST Teething pains

    All Ford rotary shifters and Lincoln pushbutton transmissions go into Park when the door is opened in any gear and also if you turn off the engine when it's in gear. They have done this since model year 2013.

    Ford Co-pilot 360 thread

    There is a Route 185 sign near me and it thinks the speed limit is 85 and starts accelerating until it realizes it's really 35! LOL Luckily it didn't accelerate too far! Most of the time I love using 360 especially intelligent cruise control and lane centering.

    Anyone else getting crazy good mpg?

    I doubt that it would sound different unless you're driving because that sound is fake and piped into the cabin. It always sounds like a minivan from the outside! LOL

    20 ST-drivers seat clicking/rattle noise

    Most people with this have said it's the bottom cushion which shifts laterally on turns especially fast ones. I'm thinking mine is too. When you grab the cushion it will slightly move left and right.
