    25 ST Steering "sticky" on center & does not return to center on its own (bear-left only; bear-right is fine)

    Yeah, those 305's are gonna follow any uneven road surface, whether you want to or not lol.

    October Software Update Installed Today

    LMAO. Small world. Here is mine... Was my DD until 2023. Sold it because I started driving a lot for work. 2019 NFG PP2. Had a Borla exhaust, Lund tune, Rousch CAI and a JL audio speaker system.

    25 ST Steering "sticky" on center & does not return to center on its own (bear-left only; bear-right is fine)

    To be honest, driving this reminds me of my Mustang GTs and tramlining. Not sure if it's the width of the tires, which I’m all for on higher HP cars, but it tends to follow grooves on its own. That being said, I'm used to it from the GTs and personally like the way it drives. BUT, when I had my...

    Infotainment update is horrible need help

    I use CarPlay in full-screen mode, so it really doesn't matter to me. I looked at the rear controls, which I haven't used yet, and didn't notice how much it had changed, so I can't comment there. I do love the AC and seat controls being set full-time at the bottom. They better not mess with...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Out of curiosity, did anyone here weigh the OEM catback vs say the Thermal 2.5"? Just curious, as I did not.

    New guy here

    The aftermarket part is not warranty. Putting an exhaust on doesnt void a transmission, but obviously they aren't fixing the aftermarket exhaust lol. Same with suspension, CAI, and so on. The big one is always the tune, adding a whipple. or larger turbos (power increase). If they pull the...

    Why do I want to sell my 22 ST 21”OEM wheels, and tires

    Something I'll keep in mind in the future regarding keeping the stock wheels(I love aftermarket wheels): When I bought my Edge ST, someone replaced them. Two months ago, someone hit my car (their fault) and took out two door panels, the rear wheel, and tire. Wheels aren't made anymore. In the...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Update below from FP on the 2025—I asked last week. I've used hair-on-fire tunes and the FP tune on my Mustangs, and since this is a daily driver, along with what I've seen from the Dragy and dyno numbers, I am happy with the FP tune. I do not personally feel the need to push 100 ft-lb increase...

    Steeda or aFe Sway-Bar?

    Now that the exhaust is done, the sway bar is next. I'm just going to order the Steeda next Friday after reading threads here, pay a local 4x4 shop to install it, and use the middle settings and move on. After reading here, it'll firm things up some, and that's all I want. Still deciding on...

    Transmission Flush

    Cannot remember; it was a good 2-3 years ago. They did all the fluid changes, plugs (3.5L at 100k miles), and an additional key. For some reason $1800 for everything sticks in my mind.

    Film on windshield, nothing has worked!

    Ive seen new cars do that, always wonder what was producing the haze lol. I like Invisible Glass sprayed onto the towel, not the glass. I've done my 2025 front once, and it has been fine, but the back window is a PITA.

    Interesting. I'll look on the way home. I did look at it when I first got it.

    October Software Update Installed Today

    Last week's? I honestly haven't looked. I have not paid much attention to that menu, and may not notice if it has been changed.

    October Software Update Installed Today

    I went to run an errand a moment ago, and the main screen popped up saying that another update would be installed tomorrow morning at 1 AM.

    Transmission Flush

    This is one of the things I do at the dealer. Did my F150 transmission, front and rear diffs, and transfer case at 50k and 100k at the dealer. Cost wasn't terrible, and it's peace of mind. Will do the same with this one.

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Yeah the current tundras have had engine failures. I think the floormat fiasco is why all of them have clips now for the drivers side.

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    I get it. But Toyota’s had plenty. Floormats that would kill you. Air bag shrapnel that would kill you. Tundra engine failures trying to show the Chevy 6.2L how to hold a beer lol.

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Yeah, I mean it's almost a $60k suv. And you drop out the ST logo, speaker logos and a tele steering wheel? Lame.

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Yeah, pretty crazy. Mine was a very late July build, and I got it at the end of Sept. So it didn't sit around long. All I did was run the VIN on the NHTSA site... They are selling a lot of Explorers this year so far, so they need to get it together. And yeah. Mine didn't have rear shades, nor...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    I just ran my VIN, and nothing comes back. Its a July 2025 build, so maybe this will miss me.
