    13” Display Protection from the sun

    This is the first i'm hearing that this is a thing. Not exactly convinced it is. I've had displays in my vehicles since 2006. Never crossed my mind that I need to protect the screen. I have tint in my ST, not worried.

    Adaptive Headlights question

    Yes. I guess I wasn't clear that I was referring to the fog lights operating as cornering lights. But like you said, totally different than adaptive

    25 ST Steering "sticky" on center & does not return to center on its own (bear-left only; bear-right is fine)

    I have actually seen quite a few '25 and '26 owners report this now on various FB groups I lurk.

    Adaptive Headlights question

    I believe it is on by default in 25+ but can't say i've ever noticed it on any 25+ST i've seen on the road. I do not know if the line of code that would turn it off has been identified for 25+ yet 2025+ Ford Explorer Spreadsheet now available! | Explorer ST Forum On the 20-24, no trim level...

    Adaptive Headlights question

    That’s can actually be enabled/disabled via Forscan, even for the ‘20-24s. I think it’s called “cornering lighting” or something like that. The Platnium Adaptive headlights themselves actually move to adjust based on road conditions...

    Oily oil pan

    Because personal preference. I know folks go long-term on their plugs. I just have a strong dislike for fluid leaks, so I change them out after a bit. Any sort of seepage due to o-ring compression set would irk me. I did look into changing the o-ring over. It’s a #208 O-ring. It’s...

    How-To: Swap Bench 2nd row to Captains Chairs with Console

    Just to add more data. If you previously had a bench seat and swapped to captains chairs, i'm sure you've discovered the warning you now get on the dash for not having the middle seat installed. I imagine most folks doing this trade want the bench to have the bench buckles otherwise the seat...

    Oily oil pan

    FYi all, there is a new drain plug now Features 2 O-rings, and a longer threaded portion so you can open it halfway and drain in a more controlled manner. I've been doing 2-3 oil changes before getting a new plug on my Fords, but did pick one up to try next time around on the ST. Part...

    Oily oil pan

    Mine was leaking on my '23 as well. Had it repaired under warranty. Noticed it during an oil change where I thought I had just gotten a bit sloppy the last time around. Nope.

    ABS profile "police" brakes - forscan

    Relating experience from other vehicles...I've seen ABS systems have different programming related to different brake rotor diameters available on a vehicle and "predictive lockup". It makes sense this variable would differ based on different performance potential as you don't want the system...

    Remove "Explorer" from rear of 2025 ST

    Are you referring to the explorer lettering between the taillights? I believe that is part of the trim, but I am not 100% sure. Curious myself now.

    Film on windshield, nothing has worked!

    The offgassing of some of the materials used in the construction of the vehicle can cause this. That's why you'll see it on brand new vehicles for a bit and then nothing on older cars. Why Your Car Windows Get That Nasty Haze On Them I've purchased 3 new cars in the last 2 years (different...

    Captain chairs rattle

    My bench seat does it too. Pass side outer seat. I can make it rattle myself by giving the seat a good whack. Waiting for warmer weather to go through it and ID the cause and correct it with some padding.

    Alibaba Wheels

    This. I work with a lot of machine shops in China (and the US) as an engineer. You can get some really good quality stuff out of China, but at a cost. If you provide specific specs, and QC requirements and require certain testing and validation, it drives the price up. In fact it...

    Leaking oil?

    I don't think so either, but listed on the invoice right under the O-ring and some misc bolts and anti-seize is 4x VC-13-G antifreeze. No idea if that's gallons, quarts or ounces. I didn't catch it until home so didn't ask the dealer about it.

    Leaking oil?

    Just had this seal replaced under warranty on my 2023. 34K miles. Had the vehicle in for service for an unrelated reason and in their inspection they found this. I think the last time i changed the leak, i may have seen the start of it and just assumed I had been a little messy the last...

    Gloss black control bezel upgrade for 2020

    The two clips are the two worst with that bezel. You almost feel you are about to break the part before they release. When you reinstall, make sure you slide the two upper parts of the bezel under the carbon fiber trim. It's easy to not notice it hanging up on them.

    Replaced the Front Grill Ford Emblem on a 2025 ST

    I see them, but can't find the style I want. I want the same as the OE oval, but just with the back background. I still want the chrome. This with black background...but for the steering wheel. If someone can find that combo i would appreciate it.
