    New ST in Maryland

    Funny coincidence my first road trip with the ST was also Harper's Ferry last December to see the train derailment! I missed the brewery and I must try that soon as I love local beers!

    New ST in Maryland

    Yesterday I think I saw you on I-270 at Montrose Rd! I was in my Rapid Red ST which I've had almost 10 months and 10,000 miles today with no issues! Love this thing! Congratulations!

    At which point should you use SLIPPERY Mode?

    I used slippery mode once or twice in heavy rain and using the 4-wheel-drive display on the dash you can see that the power goes more evenly to front and rear wheels rather than rwd bias with front assist in normal, eco and sport modes.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    Most noticeable are the nav maps load much faster. I still have problems with the Sirius XM logos not loading or loading slowly and/or disappearing.

    I noticed a few font changes too especially on the calm screen which I never use. Everything is now on the same font it seems.

    Eco vs Normal in city driving

    I call Eco Mode Minivan Mode. LOL Such a boring experience but quiet and smooth.

    Who's been using the Auto Hold feature?

    I leave this feature on at all times and love it but when I drive another vehicle without it I have to remember not to let off the brake and let it roll... OMG it happens all the time!

    Phone Call Echo

    Yes I have had this problem and have also heard myself echo sometimes. Hanging up and redialing usually resolved this. I also experience problems if I am already on a call and get in the car and connect the phone there is a lag or have to deselect privacy button on the screen to hear the call.

    What did your Ford Explorer ST replace?

    On the exterior everything is lined up but the dashboard has a few big gaps in the cheap plastic trim.

    Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

    One of the PD's in Montgomery County, MD has a black ST unmarked with lights in a bar behind the windshield inside and blacked out windows. Possibly the chief of police!

    Getting irritated with some of the driver assist functions

    My reverse brake assist went off 3 times today and scared the crap out of me. To be fair, I was backing up really fast in the rain and there were obstacles nearby. It is too damn sensitive but like you said, I was relieved that I didn't actually hit something!

    In my 2013 MKZ the ambient lighting in door turned red when opening door while engine running. When engine off all lighting turned white when door opened. 2012 Focus also turned red. 2010 MKZ did not change to red but did change to white.

    Adaptive Headlamps

    My 2010 MKZ and 2013 MKZ both had adaptive headlights but honestly can't say that I really miss having them. They were kinda gimmicky and didn't really always aim very accurately on those earlier models. I think the new LED headlamps have a better adaptive feature.

    Make sure you have intelligence cruise control turned on in the vehicle settings on the center touchscreen menus. I believe there are 3 cruise control settings: Regular, Adaptive and Intelligent.

    All push button (Lincoln) and rotary shifter Ford transmissions do this for safety reasons since 2013.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    Again this was a feature I first became aware on my 2013 Lincoln MKZ. You have to be wearing your seatbelt for this auto brake release to work. The 2017 Fusion Hybrid SE I drive also has this so I think it must be standard with all electronic parking brakes.
