    Wheel and tire sanity check

    If I did the calculator right, it's another 17mm toward the suspension and 21mm toward the outside. I can live with that.

    Wheel and tire sanity check

    So I’ve decided to go 20” instead of 22”. wheel 20x10.5 +35mm Tire 295/45/20 should be 30.5” vs stock setup of 30.7” Anything I’m overlooking? Prob gonna buy this as a whole package with extreme contact dws06s and eibach springs.

    New exhaust want to ask question before I buy

    I do see a lot of people adding resonators lol, with downpipes and 3". If you aren't building some crazy build, I'm sure the 2.5" flows fine. I mean, they are essentially straight pipes. I'm glad I didnt go any louder.

    Looks good. The 2.5" sounds great, so you are definitely gonna make a little noise.

    Lag in forum today

    I think it's when Cloudflare has issues. Other sites have been down, maybe they use Verizon lol.

    Explorer ST SUV Experience

    I won't be able to make one this year, I feel like, so maybe one of you will get my spot!

    Explorer ST SUV Experience

    I can book in March right now in NC, two different windows. And yes, I got a card about 3 weeks after buying mine, and then went to the site. After checking, it swiftly told me I had to wait until slots opened up. So I bought mine in Sept, and can go in March. Id assume 2026's will be late this...

    I got mine and am on the waiting list for this year, so maybe you will come later? Did you get a card in the mail yet? Mine came a few weeks later.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Thanks. I am assuming 165 is when it hits its "normal" point on the digital bar gauge? I don't have a way of knowing what that temp actually is. As far as the 10R's wonky behavior when cold, I should have said that's not tune-related. I've seen issues with Sport Mode in all these Fords(stock) I...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    On Normal vs. Sport mode: Early morning commute (around 5 AM, light traffic): Normal, because it really doesn’t matter. Afternoons with moderate to heavy four-lane traffic: Always Sport. It’s more responsive when passing slow drivers in the hammer lane from the right lane, and it’s better for...

    2025 no mods w/ ZFG 93 tune

    I assume that's Sport mode? I mean, in full send, she still goes in Normal. I've found my range for my driving is about 390-400 if I run Normal all of the time. If I use Sport its about 360-370, mixed stop and go and hwy.

    October Software Update Installed Today

    Got a notification today that an update will install tomorrow at 0100. Nothing about the ECU, so I am going to let it go ahead. I turned off auto update so I was allowed to review it first on the screen in the car, before telling it yes.

    Remove "Explorer" from rear of 2025 ST

    Yep, used fishing line more than once, and goo gone stays in my garage. That being said, I like the "Explorer" on the front of the 2025.

    Per Ford, No future upgrades to Bluecruise

    That's the nice thing, it's a choice-based subscription. As I disagree, it gives options. I also feel Ford was smart to offer it on a monthly basis.

    Per Ford, No future upgrades to Bluecruise

    Sounds like it gets too far on a vehicle before it changes. On mine, if I am in the right lane and in traffic, when I see a hole I slip the blinker on and it gets over and speeds up. If it is light traffic, when I am coming up on a slower vehicle, I go ahead and trigger the blinker and have it...

    So ZFG Racing, what's next for the go fast?

    I understand that, thanks. The point was, the 3.5 tuned is already fast, and then I noted the Shelby was a whole nother animal. I looked hard at the lowered and whippled F150's before the ST, decided to spend the $60k on more room. A simple tuned F150 with a 3.5 is damn near as fast as a tuned...

    So ZFG Racing, what's next for the go fast?

    I wouldn't sweat that, honestly. Tuned 3.5 F150's are fast, and that is a whole other machine lol. Might as well throw built 10R transmission too.
