    What’s everyone getting for fuel economy?

    I hate Eco, even with adaptive cruise. It takes forever to get going, leaving gaps for other cars to jump in. If I were that worried about MPG, I would have gotten an Explorer Platinum with the 4 banger. Just my 0.02. I've tried using Eco on my adaptive cruise stop-and-go trips home from work...

    What’s everyone getting for fuel economy?

    I get it. I've watched a lot of longer races between Dark Horses and others. They are quick off the line for sure. I've had the ioniqs and teslas just take off from a light in the mornings next to me. I'm like WTF, give me a warning. Oh wait you cant make any noise...

    What’s everyone getting for fuel economy?

    That's what made me laugh about modded and more HP being better for fuel economy. Um, the more mods, the more I get in the pedal...

    Which exhaust (need recommendations)

    No clue on those, but the Thermal 2.5" sounds great under acceleration, and is pleasant and subdued at cruising speeds. Just what I wanted. Its basically straight 2.5" pipes with no drone.

    What’s everyone getting for fuel economy?

    I looked, 1200 miles, mine says 19.2 on the Fuel Economy screen. Not sure how good that is or how long it reads over (time period). If thats accurate, Id hate to see it when I start using Sport more lol.

    What’s everyone getting for fuel economy?

    I think my new one is still figuring it out. Hand calculated on a trip, it was 23 miles per gallon. When I fill up on Friday for the following work week, the range is all over the place. My daily commute is pretty easy; in the morning, I get almost 65 miles per hour on cruise for 25 miles. In...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    That sucks. Sometimes you get “features disabled” warning on the app when it starts having lower voltage.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    That’s not bad for an AGM. Did you have any lower power notifications on the Ford app before it went out?

    Seat belt graphic in instrument cluster

    You are right. Wasn’t even considering that.

    Seat belt graphic in instrument cluster

    Yeah, Ive done that on my F150 and work Expedition. I like the alert, if you have passengers or kids, just not the way it is handled by the system.

    Seat belt graphic in instrument cluster

    Came here for the same annoyance... The real issue—and why car companies often struggle with software—is that something so simple should just be an if-then statement. If you detect weight on the seat and the seatbelt isn’t clipped in, then sure, go ahead and annoy the hell out of me. But once...

    CLOSED: October Software Update - Temperature Gauges Display

    Yeah, mine stays right in the middle.

    October Software Update Installed Today

    OK, two things. The Dark Mode comment was a helpful win. I had CarPlay on dark, but didn't realize the Ford software had dark mode too. Much better. Second, I just went to grab some burgers and grill stuff, held down the power button for 10 seconds, and rebooted the software while riding down...

    Cargo cover for 2nd row

    Thanks. Where did you get that? I kinda like the design.

    Cargo cover for 2nd row

    Does that one fold up and down with the seats?

    October Software Update Installed Today

    I'll have to try. I swear I've rebooted mine with the 10-second power button hold since the update.

    October Software Update Installed Today

    My auto start stop hasn't had a problem yet, even after the update.

    2021 ST, One of the best vehicles I have owned

    You can hear the Thermal 2.5" over the FENG.

    Speakers After Update!!!!!!!!

    As a multiple Sync 3 owner, I just reboot whenever something weird happens. It's easy—just hold the power button for 10 seconds and then release. I did this once on my last trip while on Blue Cruise, and I must admit, it's strange to see all the screens go blank while the car is driving itself...
