    Why there is no tow eye .............

    Speak for yourself. My car has a front socket for it. But, yeah, definitely check before you go getting bent out of shape about it being missing.

    ST Accessories/Modifications

    I would not recommend the Ford OEM cargo liner. It is extremely cheap, stiff, thin material. I also do not like the cutouts on the side that exposes the 3rd row arm rest--stuff falls in there all the time.

    Is everyone ok with the giant tablet and terrible bezel?

    I really have no beefs with the appearance of the screen. I have no issue about not being able to upgrade to SYNC 4. I do have issue that the screen is partitioned into thirds it seems and Carplay is relegated to 1/3rd of the whole display. Carplay has dynamic scaling now so why hasn't Ford...

    Explorer ST Bulb Chart

    I think it is worth it to get a Forscan setup (adapter + license) for ST enthusiasts, not only to change the setting for rear turn signals to LED to avoid hyperflash, but also to eliminate the fake engine noise in Sport mode. You'll save a few bucks getting resistor-less LED bulbs too.

    Forscan

    It is a common old wives tale that the Magnuson-Moss Act will protect them from voiding of warranty for modifications that are clearly outside of what may be considered "OE replacement parts" in design or intent. For example, if you install a tune on your car, you can pretty much kiss your...

    Ford Pass Points

    Has anyone used these for something other than service? I just noticed that they expire in a year. Due to Covid, they extended my expiration until April 2021. But due to this Covid business, I rather just do oil changes myself. Has anyone bought accessories or parts like oil filter, air...

    Bang & Olufsen Sound Settings

    This is what i like: 500Hz is 0dB, 125, 2k, 4k are about -4dB (for reference).

    Seat Issues??

    LOL... the honeymoon lasted all of 2 days for me. Then I found glass in the door, ripples in the sheetmetal, crudely fitting parts and a bunch of other problems.

    Seat Issues??

    Normal. There is no reason for it other than they are cheaply constructed.

    Driver's Seat Shifting

    The seats aren't really supportive and don't have any significant side bolters to be considered "sport" seats but certainly there should be no physical shifting of the seat! Maybe check the edges of the seat to make sure the material is fastened properly. These are really cheap seats and it's...

    Installed Livernois Tune

    So is there any fine tuning involved? For instance, with this updated tune, do you then drive around and send in logs for another adjustment? Or is an off-the shelf tune all you get. I'd be definitely surprised if all you get is an off-the-shelf 91-93 map. Then again, that price including...

    What was your reaction the first time behind the wheel of a Explorer ST?

    Disappointed with the handling and acceleration. But I was coming from a much smaller BMW crossover. I quickly have come to terms with the change and appreciate it's qualities considering it's a relatively large 3 row SUV.

    Sync 4 Upgrade for 2020 Explorer

    I'd be extremely surprised if 2021 Explorer gets Sync 4. Ford has it's hands full just producing these. It's been almost a year and no OTA updates? Sync 3/carplay/android auto still buggy as hell and unoptimized? I wouldn't feel bad. The Explorer will likely get Sync 4 at the mid-cycle...

    What did your Ford Explorer ST replace?

    2015 BMW X1. Miss the ride and handling but love the new tech.

    Borla Exhaust Upgrade

    Getting a system vs. custom is always an ongoing question. For me, a system like Borla is much better because they've designed it and usually will sound better with minimal drone. A custom exhaust can be hit-or-miss in terms of the final result even if they used common design principles...

    roof storage

    I have a roof box and have the Ford crossbars. Just be aware that the recommended rooftop weight limit is rather low... I think 50lb with sunroof?

    Sync 4

    I'd give up the notion of a Sync 4 update. The question is, can Ford update the existing Sync 3 to make better use of the 10.1 portrait screen. Android auto and Carplay both have dynamic scaling capabilities but Ford is not implementing them. It would be nice if you could customize font size...

    Best tune for 2020 Ford Explorer ST

    Ford just released a performance tune for the Ranger. I've got to believe one for the Explorer is in the works. Again, worth it to wait. Most just want a tune for the stock setup anyways.

    Best tune for 2020 Ford Explorer ST

    That's one reason I'm not interested in a tune at the moment. It seems like most are pretty vague on information when you go to their website. There is also not a lot of feedback from users out there, understandably. I'm not in any rush. Will just wait it out. I don't have the time to call...
