    Catalytic Converter Cracking

    Yes, you will get the exhaust smell in the cabin every time you start the ST. Smelled worse than my 67' Camaro. The smell from flooring the gas pedal is different.

    Muffler flex seams having a leak...

    If it is a 2020 ST you will need to make sure that they replace the left side catalytic converter. This needs to be replaced on most of them. I had exhaust fumes in mine also. Dealer can expedite getting parts using the right procedure.

    Anyone else have oil leak problems

    If you otherwise like the ST, keep taking it back to the dealer to get it right. And yes, they are required to give you a loaner or they have to pay for a rental. This is covered under the warranty just like repairs are covered. Ford will reimburse the dealer, no worries.

    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    Hopefully Hopefully you didn't buy it at Preston Ford with the lifetime warranty. You will never be able to keep up with the requirements in order to keep the warranty active. It will cost you 2-3 times more than a new engine would cost for them to honor the warranty. They will charge you so...

    All weather floor liners

    I would say the Ford all weather mats are the best rubber mats, but I recently just replaced the front ones with 3D Maxpider Kagu floor mats that I got from Autoanything. Not sure if they are the material you are looking for, but they look the best and fit nicely.

    Door keypad issue

    This is how I lock my ST because the keys always stay in it. You may also use your phone to lock it, as my wife does at nighttime.

    Blade antenna color

    My 2020 is white, same as paint. I did think they made them all black after MY20, but I guess not. The 2020 does have nicer looking roof rails, in my opinion.

    Can roof rails be installed after delivery?

    I use mine every week, when I wash my ST and dry the roof. It is a great grab bar.

    SLD 4 brand new stock ST rims and tires for sale. Less than 500 miles. In the process of purchasing new 22 inch rims and tires for the new ride. $1600.00

    So the tires have been dismounted from the wheels? I am in Maryland, but would like to just swap out the wheels without going to a tire installer.

    Forscan Auto Start/Stop turn off?

    Someone in another thread mentioned disconnecting a wire to the battery or a wire that goes somewhere that reads the battery voltage, as the start/stop feature does not come on when the battery voltage is low. Not sure if doing this would cause a host of errors.

    SLD 4 brand new stock ST rims and tires for sale. Less than 500 miles. In the process of purchasing new 22 inch rims and tires for the new ride. $1600.00

    They had to dismount the tires to do that, should have just gotten new sensors on your new wheels.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I was just kidding of course. Anyways, my key fob stays in the center console at all times.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    You must have had the auto hold on also, it wont start until you touch the gas pedal.

    Why do you attach your keys to the dogs collar?

    Just got my 2022 Explorer ST

    There is no 'break in' oil, but I do agree with dealer to be somewhat gentle for the first few hundred miles.

    What Tire Pressure???

    I was a tire pro in my former life. Almost always low 30's is going to be perfect. Higher pressure will result in harsher ride and will wear out tread quicker. At times, say like pulling a trailer, you may want to bump up the rear tire pressure. Dealers like to keep pressure up some because some...

    Checking in from Maryland

    Welcome aboard. I am on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Just a side note , and not to be a downer, as I plan on keeping my ST for a long time, at 23K miles(I bought brand new) just had the left side catalytic converter replaced and the throttle body replaced. All seems good now. In a haste I did...

    How to fix?

    The rear hatch should only open like that when you have the keys on you.
