The way the favorites are saved is less than optimal. I would think there would be a way to re-order them by just holding the button and sliding it left or right but nope. I also think there'd be a way to delete stations you don't want but again, there doesn't appear to be. I think you need...

Thanks, I'll take a closer look next time I'm in the ST.

Yesterday while scrolling through YouTube I saw a video of a young guy doing a "tech review" of the 2025 ST posted about 5 months ago. During the video during which he talks a lot about Blue Cruise he shows a brief image of the instrument display during Blue Cruise operation (see attached...

I've got about the same mileage as you do on my 2025 ST and have noticed variability in how the auto stop works when I forget to manually disable it. If I ease on the brakes coming to a stop it doesn't seem to engage auto stop vs. a more vigorous braking episode. If mine stopped working...

So I was in the ST today on a long drive and received notifications on my screen of incoming text messages; I hit "read" and turned up the volume and only got silence. I'm not sure what I'm missing but there must be a setting or permission on my Pixel phone or in the vehicle that I'm missing...

My 2025 was built last year before the "Sun & Sound" package was a thing apparently, but the person who special ordered it opted for the panoramic moon roof and the 14-speaker B&O audio system (that person did not take the vehicle after it arrived). For me as an older guy, and definitely no...

I'm curious how Ford can market the vehicle as having a "B&O" audio system but not use B&O speakers; wouldn't that be false advertising? Since you swapped out your speakers I'm sure you could see they were not what is being sold to the customer which is pretty disappointing. I now wonder about...

I knew what I was buying with the 2025 ST from my test drive so won't complain about the lack of features with the digital gauge cluster; but I agree with all here that it certainly could be a LOT better. As a former GA pilot I like information about what my engine is doing (or not doing) and...

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that next time I get a text on the road.

Has anyone had problems with getting text messages read to you while driving? I have a Pixel 9 Pro with all notifications enabled via Bluetooth for the Explorer and when the notification screen pops up with a text message and I push the "Listen" button nothing happens. In my last vehicle (2019...

I've had Sirius XM on four different cars since 2010 including the 2025 Explorer ST and my experience has been positive with one exception. The 2019 Mazda CX-9 GT I just traded for the ST last month had issues with the Sirius receiver episodically failing to connect. It would work just fine...

From my purely subjective assessment when I test drove a Platinum with the 2.3L engine I thought it was noisier in the cabin overall during cruising speed and acceleration. The ST with the 3.0L seemed quieter to me in all conditions but I'm older and my hearing isn't as great as it once was so...

I have a Garmin 57 installed in mine using a Dongar 5-pin mirror power tap. When you pull off the shroud behind the mirror there are three different connectors, you want the one on the passenger side and the plug is on the side closest to the dash. The release clip is closest to the windshield...

Thanks for the replies guys. I've never gotten the "deep sleep" message but have read some other posts here about others who have; however I've only had the ST for a month so time will tell. This is only the second vehicle I've had with remote start, the last one was a problem plagued 2010...

A couple of days ago I performed a remote start on my 2025 Explorer ST using the Ford Pass app on my phone. I'm retired and the vehicle can sit for days or a few weeks without being driven so I like to start it every so often. Yesterday I was going to run some errands and went out to put some...

Wow, that's a lot of work just to access the battery and swap it out. On my last vehicle, a 2019 Mazda CX-9 GT, the battery was sitting right there out in the open when you popped the hood, no scavenger hunt needed. Then you only had to disconnect the negative and positive cables and remove...

According to Google (which concurs with what I read in the Pass app): As of October 2024, a Ford BlueCruise subscription costs $495 per year or $49.99 per month. Key points about the BlueCruise subscription: Price reduction: Ford recently lowered the price of the BlueCruise subscription from...

I think I got 42K when I bought my ST last month.

I've had this experience with the last two Japanese vehicles that I've owned and was hoping that buying an American car would spare me from dealing with it anymore. We live on a rural ranch in Texas and park outside. My wife's 2011 Chevy Silverado has never been touched by a rodent but when I...

As a new '25 ST owner it's interesting to read a lot of folks here hate the rims. I think they look pretty good, even on my white SUV, but taste is a subjective thing. I considered a Toyota Grand Highlander but Toyota insists on putting Chrometec plastic wheel covers on their top trip...
