    I found the plastic fuel funnel... but

    All Fords with the EasyFuel capless fueling system have used that funnel for about the last 15 years. If you don't use that funnel most of the gas or whatever you're adding will spill out. The missing piece is the tow hook which my dealer provided me with but apparently Explorers built after the...

    Does the ST come standard with remote start?

    I agree! Such a simple thing to update in the software.

    remote start tries and fails?

    The other thing that can happen is after auto start if the fob got pushed in your pocket getting in, the engine turned off. So obviously you can intentionally turn off the engine by just pushing the start button.

    Does the ST come standard with remote start?

    I use the fob 99% of the time because it's so much faster than FordPass. I use the app mostly for checking oil life and tire pressure or if I'm not sure if I locked it when my remote is out of range. It's also great to check up on your dealer to see if the car is actually being serviced or just...

    remote start tries and fails?

    Only happened to me if I accidentally hit the start button a third time instead of just twice.

    Interior creaks and rattles

    My loud music covers up most of the annoying noises this vehicle is plagued with. The drivers seat noise bothers me the most because I can feel and hear it.

    Real world mpg

    I found that in mostly city driving the on-board estimated MPG is 10% more optimistic but on mostly highway driving the estimate was closer to reality within 1 MPG or less.

    Honks and Chimes, Cool Vibes and Fun Times...

    I recommend a 2003 Explorer Sport (if there was one) and a 2003 Motorola Flip Phone. Problems solved. LOL

    Is the interior REALLY that bad??

    My MSRP was 60K (which included every option available) and I paid 52K with discounts in 2019 so I think I got a pretty good deal! Also in the 2021 MY, Ford removed the windshield wiper de-icer, console lights inside the 2 bins and front camera washer according to posters on this forum. So most...

    Is the interior REALLY that bad??

    I'd rather have all the features I got in 2020 than a newer ST with a lot of decontenting especially the current model year. Hope the refresh is worth a trade-in and also the deleted features come back. I'm seriously thinking of keeping my 2020 ST and purchasing a 7-8 year ESP warranty...

    Real world mpg

    In my part of Maryland, my average at 28,000 miles is 18.6 MPG and my average MPH is barely 24 miles per hour. D.C. metro traffic is the worst! A few weeks ago, I went to the shore and averaged 22.5 MPG on a 250 mile trip at mostly highway speeds which is pretty decent.

    4WD Fault Service Required

    Still love mine warts and all! My repairs were fixed right the first time and wasn't in the shop more than 10 days each time. So lemon law didn't apply.

    4WD Fault Service Required

    I have all of the above plus clutch, fuel pump, battery, rear camera and rear glass replacement since 2020.

    Is the interior REALLY that bad??

    If the Explorer King Ranch with the 3.0 V6 were available in 2019 I would have preferred that interior over the ST interior. The exterior of the ST in almost any color looks more attractive than most SUV's in its class! Every time I look back at my parked ST, I get a smile on my face! On the...

    What kind of washer fluid are you using

    When I have the low fluid message I can usually fill with an entire gallon of washer fluid to the top of the nozzle.

    Weird drive and dash

    You were in another drive mode? Maybe Deep Snow/Mud or Trail? Slippery, Eco, Sport and Tow would not do that.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I had 3 punctures in less than 18 months. Two were near the sidewall and had to be replaced and one was repaired. I only had to pay for one tire because the first was during the first 12,000 miles new tire warranty road hazard protection.

    2022 Wireless Charger too small for some phones

    Same here if I'm far from home and need a fast charge I plug it in the back. I used to do the same in my 2013 MKZ which also had an AC outlet in the back seat.

    2022 Wireless Charger too small for some phones

    It's convenient if you're driving a couple hours and want to fully charge it without digging around for a fast charger and plugging it in. My biggest pet peeve is on hard braking it falls forward and stops charging and also getting out of the car and going inside forgetting your digital...
