Oil testing is not expensive, I used to all the time. Just check out bob is the oil guy.

Good grief.

There are so many electronics in these things now. Both good and bad for the owners. I love it, but I also bought the 60k bumper to bumper.

Well, that's crazy. Mine worked this morning. Haven't seen any "problems" yet...

Personal experience and opinion. When the app starts saying it's disabling features to save the battery, make financial plans, and grab a new AGM when you can. Go to a reputable dealer in town that changes it for free too! I see it may not have fixed the other issues, but I have tested the...

Just a testament that many of us overkill things. I've seen cars that were well-maintained blow out early, and abused cars rock. I know I'm probably overdoing it at 5k OCIs on ecoboosts, but it's just a thing for me. I used to use Techron religiously, now I make sure I buy from the right...

Any full syn leading brand is fine, mainly if you stick to 5k intervals. My local shop charges about $80 and does a full syn-valvoline, uses a good brand of filter (I can't remember the shelf name, but I looked them up and they build other good filters), and includes tire rotation. My ecoboosts...

May not be a big deal to many, but it annoyed me on the 2025's...

I've had 10 Fords before this 2025, and I only have 1k miles on it. It is for sure, other than my 2019 PP2 Mustang, one of my favorite cars ever. Plenty fast, and I haven't tuned (yet). Added a Thermal 2.5", sounds great. And the creature comforts and seats are a win. Looks nice too.

Just picked it up and drove it back. Black tips match so much better. Cold start is nice and sounds good when given a little more juice. Turbo sound is definitely up. The best part is, at cruise on 85 and 80, it's quiet. Maybe a hair of rumble on a hill, but other than that, just what I hoped...

Thermal 2.5" with black tips. I dropped it off an hour ago, and they are already done. I've used this shop for 20+ years, and when he called, the guy said he was surprised that, for a 6-cylinder, it actually has a really great sound—picking up at lunch. I'll be glad for those dinky chrome tips...

My wife and I have been through about 11 cars in the last 10 years. While the B&O with sub isn't the best, it ain't the worst by a long shot. On my 2019 PP2 Mustang, I went in and spent $4000 on JL everything. Speaker replacements included adding the preformed sub box in the trunk with an RF...

First road trip in the new ride — took it from 200 to 500 miles on the odometer lol! Super comfortable and drives great. Averaged 22.5 MPG. Gave BlueCruise a try for about an hour — pretty neat tech, though I doubt I’ll subscribe. The regular adaptive cruise with lane-keep assist that nudges you...

I'm pretty sure I just ordered the entire FOB from a dealer ($58). It wasn't just the plate. Should get it on Tuesday.

I like the AGM, but one of them in the wife's Lincoln went at 37k miles. Kinda BS. But it is nice how reliably they power all of the goodies in these things, and their life should generally be longer. That's not a bad price. A local shop here sells AGMs for about that, and it's the US company...

That is some interesting stuff. I will say that this is my 4th Ecoboost engine, but my first Explorer ST. Also, my 3rd ST. I love these things, and I change the oil every 5K miles regardless with full synthetic.

I can't wait to put my 2.5" Thermal on next week. Don't want to get too wild with noise.

Added the weather techs front and back, and removed the front plate holder.

I just wanted to comment and say thank you on this one. My Edge STs never would go into 8th gear in Sport mode, but tinkering around showed me that I thought the Explorer does go into 10th. Never thought of hitting the manual button... DOH! Anyway, it behaves like my Mustang GT in Sport with...
