    ST number 2 with custom wheels

    @I Bleed Ford Blue: @I Bleed Ford Blue: Yes I agree on using OEM FORD stuff. Silver powder coat would also work great with certain body color types like white, black or the red ST's.

    2021 ST, One of the best vehicles I have owned

    @theotherdave: Sounds like you have the exact ST that I thought I was buying when I got my 2025 Explorer ST this past January. Unfortunately, it was a "Job 2" build on December 5, 2024. I'm figuring FORD just needed to lighten up these dudes a little so that is why they unceremoniously...

    New ST owner from Ohio

    Whatever it is, it looks gorgeous!!! Congrats to you for finding such a jewel. My ST is red only because it is the first non-black painted 2025 ST to come to Northern Calif/Sacramento area that did NOT have the Sun and Sound package. I was willing to take any of the other 2025 colors. Your...

    Welcome to the Explorer ST Forum, please post an introduction

    Welcome Aboard! Yes, these dudes are cat quick right out of the box with no tinkering. I cannot imagine the improvement once they have been "modded out" with all the performance stuft available today.

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    @KCM: I consider your family Ford Recall Record to be very good to excellent. With the (4) four Ford Mustangs I have owned, every single vehicle had at least one if not 2 recalls during my ownership. One recall was for the airbags issues, 2 times it was for separate camera issues (and yes, you...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    @wifeys-ST: I take it Ford did not help you with this problem. It is great that you are mechanically savvy enough to triage and ultimately fix the problem before it became a bigger concern. Personally, I guess it just rubs me wrong that I unknowingly bought a watered down Explorer ST (pretty...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Agreed!! There is now a notation on every one of our individual repair orders at Toyota signifying that a Technician has physically checked the floor mats as part of the multipoint inspection. .

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Agreed!!! I remember hearing about the floormats (Toyota changed out all of our floormats although none of our originals were involved in the issue) and the outsourced Taconsha Air Bag issues but don't remember the Tundra story. Let's both hope we don't end up talking about any more future...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Let's put this all into perspective; my wife has had (4) four Toyota vehicles: new 2008 Camry XLE Hybrid, new 2015 Avalon Limited Hybrid, 2005 Prius from her parents estate and a new 2025 Highlander Platinum Hybrid since 2008. Her grand total of recall notices for all (4) cars during that...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    @Gadgtfreek: Ford's shift to "Job 2" was so crazy they somehow forgot to tell the Dealers about how radical it was. When I became aware of the many issues in February 2025 (weeks after my 15 January purchase), I called my Sales Guy and the Dealership ended up calling Detroit for the answers. I...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    @Gadgtfreek: I sure hope so for you. Mine is part of that infamous "Job 2" build (where they unceremoniously striped off a bunch of ST staples), actual date 8 Dec 2024. I am curious as to how far wide spread this issue will be. But isn't is interesting how many different/separate areas it...

    Explorer Compliance Recall Notice 25C42/NTHSA Recall 25V543

    Today, I received my first recall notice for my Explorer ST. This recall covers the "electronic components of the printed circuit board of the Body Control Module C (BCMC) that MAY have been improperly soldered. As a result, when a trailer is connected to the vehicle and the vehicle's trailer...
