    Second Row Window Shades

    No hands free lift gate, just power. I went out and checked as well as looked at the window sticker. Also no lighted glove box.

    Second Row Window Shades

    My 2025 ST was built last year and got to the dealer at the end of August and has the 360° camera, massaging seats, power steering wheel control but I haven't checked for the glovebox light (I was just happy that the glovebox could be locked!) but will have to check. It's too bad that Ford is...

    How to display SiriusXM radio music presets on one screen

    I'll have to check that out. Do you happen to know if there's any way to re-order the Sirius preset buttons on the bottom of the screen? One YouTube guy shows just pressing and holding the button and sliding them wherever he wants but that doesn't seem to work for me.

    Build quality

    I've been driving since 1974 and have purchased a dozen vehicles since then; 6 domestic brands and 6 imports. What I've observed over that time. with the increasing complexity of motor vehicle systems and technology virtually no brand is immune from having problems. Formerly bulletproof maker...

    Extended warranty ?

    Ha, Ha, I hear you on the tech & turbos. It's too bad Jeep vehicles aren't more reliable because I really like them. Back in my old Army days in the 70's driving those old Jeeps was a blast and I've had a couple of Wranglers as rentals and enjoyed them all. The asking price on them is also...

    I can’t decide on a color!

    I've owned two black vehicles in my life and vowed never to do so again. They are impossible to keep clean and if you live in a place that gets really hot in the summer the black color makes the vehicle untouchable and the interior a furnace. I only buy white or silver cars these days living in...

    How to display SiriusXM radio music presets on one screen

    Ah, OK I've got it. When I picked up the ST from the dealer service department today I asked them and they showed me the steering wheel buttons on the bottom right are dual purpose and answer/hang up phone calls OR toggle forwards or backwards on the radio pre-sets. I didn't notice the symbols...

    I'm not following; bottom right of what?

    How to display SiriusXM radio music presets on one screen

    The 2025 steering wheel buttons do not have any way to control the audio system other than volume up/down/mute.

    And thank you for your support @OhioDF! I'd still be doing it but they finally had enough of me. :)

    A-z plan D plan… invoice??

    The Grand Highlander has suffered from significant teething trouble as a new generation model. They had the recall and stop sale/build disaster from airbag problems and some other issues. A neighbor traded in her Mercedes SUV for one of the first GH's to hit the showroom late last summer and...

    Extended warranty ?

    I only purchased an extended warranty once in over 51 years of driving, owning 12 vehicles. It was on an '86 Volkswagen Scirroco and the only time I had a claim for a cruise control problem it was not covered. I'm wealthy enough now to absorb whatever costs come up for vehicle maintenance once...

    Ooops, that's $20K in price not $20.

    A-z plan D plan… invoice??

    The ST I bought last Friday was a special order by a 75+ year old gentleman last August and was the first 2025 to arrive on the lot of my dealership. He returned it the next day as he found it too complicated for him to operate. The SUV sat on the lot until I drove it in December '24; I was...

    How to display SiriusXM radio music presets on one screen

    I have to say that other than the absence of a HUD the lack of a way to set favorite stations on Sirius and FM and toggle through them either on the steering wheel or dash is a MAJOR step in the wrong direction. Even cars from the 60's had half a dozen preset buttons you could set so you could...

    2025 Ford Explorer ST Front End Popping Noises at Low Speeds

    This is exactly why I love these forums because the average Joe owner wouldn't have any awareness of these types of problems. I just bought an ST last Friday and already had to bring it back today because the Pass app wouldn't connect to the SUV. They seem to have fixed the issue (for now)...

    New ST Owner

    I just posted an update on another thread but the bottom line is my dealer was able to correct whatever the problem was and now Pass connects with my ST after leaving it with them for a day. They gave me a loaner and it looks like I can pick it up tomorrow. Here's what they said was the...

    2025 ST, Fordpass & Google often disconnected from Ford network

    Thanks Ohio DF, update time. So I dropped the ST at my dealer this morning and got a loaner. Later this afternoon they reached out and asked me to try and connect Ford Pass to my ST and it worked! Here's what the service manager had to offer by way of an explanation: "There were codes in the...

    2025 ST, Fordpass & Google often disconnected from Ford network

    I have an appointment tomorrow morning to bring the SUV back to the dealership. I talked to their service manager yesterday and he readily admitted that there is a problem with some of these modems which was something of a surprise. My past experience with car dealers regardless of the company...
