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

    I love her warts and all! I think people who don't really like cars wouldn't turn around and admire their mode of transportation!

    Digital Dashboard

    That is the Deep Snow/Mud Drive Mode screen. The large tachometer also appears on the right for the Sport Mode, Tow Mode and Trail Mode. Normal, Eco and Slippery Mode have the small tach on the left side of the screen.

    21 ST Crank w No Start

    This happened to my on my street going up a hill on my way to the gas station with 40 miles to empty. With 11,000 miles on the odo, I stalled out, it cranked and wouldn't restart. Tow truck brought 2.5 gallons of gas. Still wouldn't start after several attempts cranking it. I got towed to the...

    What don't you like about your ST?

    Three body related things I don't like about the Explorer ST: the hood scoop out area fills with rain water or snow when parked uphill. When dry it looks really cool but a bad design flaw. If you were to leave the car on an incline for a long period of time, you would have a birdbath on your...

    Phone Call Echo

    I never use Android Auto and i get the echo from time to time. I'm on the lastest software update and it seems to happen less now if at all.

    Radio not turning on when starting SUV with app

    This used to happen to me a lot in the first few months of ownership but hasn't happened lately knock on wood! I've had the ST since December 2019.

    Exhaust Noise Issues

    How many miles do you have? Mine at 13,000 miles started making a rattling and fluttering noise on cold idle and the cabin fills with exhaust fumes. I called the dealer and told them I would bring it in soon. Right now I'm grateful for auto engine stop so I don't smell fumes!

    2021 Explorer ST won't start

    That is really early failure. My fuel pump failed at about 11,000 miles which was also way too early. I've never in my life replaced a fuel pump even on cars with over 100,000 miles.

    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.
