    2025 ST telephone

    AA uses more battery than the wireless charger can recover. On road trips, I have to use the cable occasionally to keep it from draining too much.

    opinions on totaled 2020 explorer ST

    One of the things I like about the 25s are the wheels. Not a fan of gloss black.

    Misaligned door, fender, and hood panels. Paint defects. Loose and or rattling interior trim panels. Sunshade doesn't fully close. Headliner edges don't meet door gasket. Bad struts at 4k miles. Been in the shop multiple times in four months of ownership. When I drive it, I like it, but these...

    Extended warranty ?

    Extended warranty ?

    And make sure if you do it, add the first day and enhanced rentals, all light and key options. They aren't included in the base price and LEDs are expensive if you need to replace.
