On my 25' ST so far - 1) The side mirrors and the decklid will not remain in manual mode and automatically change back to auto-mode even when the infotainment display icons show they are in manual. I took it in for these issues in September or October of last year. The dealer tested a new one...

I've written about this in another thread on this forum about this exact topic. I can't remember which thread it was in. I was one of the Sr. Project & Program Managers at the company that produces the EXPLORER hood lettering badges for Ford. It is extremely difficult to keep the letters...

My 25' loses washer fluid also and I've noticed it before reading this thread. I'm fortunate that I work from home and it doesn't get many miles on it at all. I'm at 4K miles and I got it last July. If it weren't for a couple of vacation trips with it, it would maybe have 2K miles on it. I...

I have the single bolt set-up in my 25' ST. I upgraded to the grade 12.9 replacement bolt, I added a AWR diff brace, the JXB insert and also Steeda rear subframe bushing supports. I have no NVH or ill effect from any of it. I did all of this because I tow at, or near, the maximum GVWR when I...

If you don't post a pic of your new toy then it never happened. Its all lies without a pic :LOL::LOL:!

The doors need to be able to drain and ventilate or you will really see issues. The plastic covers are to prevent bugs and larger debris to gut up in there. It doesn't 100% prevent dirt or mud from accumulating. If you're aware enough, these are a service area by keeping them clean and flushed out.

You answered your own question. They are weep / drainage holes for any condensation or water from inside the door. They could deffinately be made better, I've popped plenty off while cleaning and they bend and break easily.

Its up under the dash towards the right. It has a grey fake connector on the end. It is also attached by a plastic attachment "christmas tree" if I remember correctly. I didn't have to remove anything to get to it. Its just a pain in thew ass to find it!

I can't really tell what you are circling but I would get ahold of the dealer to talk to them about what you found after their service and go from there.

For what it's worth, I think it looks good.

The one in the Amazon link BrooseDaMoose provided is what is needed IF you are using a Curt brake controller. I have a 25' ST and that is what I have installed.

BrooseDaMoose provided a link in his reply - click on the blue Pigtail word.

It's the same process you go through to change the intercooler or change the front Ford oval emblem. The entire process to remove the front facia is about 30mins or less.

Been thinking about adding that exact one to mine eventually.

Buy Lamin-X film.

More like what I did all week but here is a towing update - I took my daughter to the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia to dirt bike and ATV ride the mountains. Round trip was just under 900 miles. My fully loded trailer weight was 5,060 pounds and I'm sure the GCWR of my loaded 25' ST and...

Many people on this forum have went with CV Fab intercoolers (including myself). Any brand seems to perform nearly the same so brand loyalty isn't very importand IMO. Strut braces are really cosmetic only on the Explorer ST. They have been discussed many times on this forum. Many people ugrade...

People usually use them to block UV and heat on the dash pad which causes damage. It also reduces internal heat when the vehicle sits. A soft look is also an appeal by many. I've personally never owned one but I'm not against them. I just had my front windshield 50% ceramic tinted which will...

This is what it looks like to me from your picture.

You will find 100 different answers from 100 different people on this topic.. . For me, I do my 1st oil change @ 500 miles using synthetic blend and the 2nd one also with synthetic blend 2,500 miles later @ 3,000 miles in total. From there, I do it every 3,000 miles with full synthetic.
