    Gloss black control bezel upgrade for 2020

    Very minor detail, but figure would add this here. The buttons in that area also changed. In 2020 they were matte, and for 2021+ they were silver. I do think they look fine with the gloss bezel, but just something to point out as a minor difference.

    Softening the ride on an ST?

    I agree with the other poster's comment. I have my '23 ST and my wife's '24 CRV, and I do think my ST rides much nicer than the CRV

    Almost time to replace 21" Pirellis any recommendation?

    Same. I've had 5-6 sets of the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ and love them. I currently have a set on my ST. About 10K miles on them and only a little wear. Very good performance in the rain. About to see what they can do in snow (on this vehicle) tomorrow. Downside is the cost...

    Why Didn't I Get An "ST" Logo Fab? A 2025 Letter to FORD CEO

    Not much at all really. Peanuts per print. $1-2 per print tops assuming a large enough bed area. Key is doing this prints on a high end printer, and not with PLA. I figure 1 hour with CAD, print a sample, and maybe 1-2 revisions. Maybe 2-3 hours of NRE not including print time for the...

    New color?

    I wish Ford would offer more metallic colors rather than the usual black, white and various shades of grey, even though I myself own a Carbonized Grey ST. I'm looking forward towards my next ST or the next gen Explorer and a little bummed with the colors. I was bummed to find Atlas Blue was...

    Heat Fan Blower Motor Location

    Any update? I also seem to have a buzzing/whining sound from my blower motor. Wanted to see if a little lubricant took care of the issue before I take it in for warranty. https://youtube.com/shorts/5OfDNlgh-RY?si=kzyCcNPCUlYfqFqb

    My 2021 has a block heater, the vehicle came from Canada

    My '23 is from Canada. It has a block heater but I have yet to use it. I dislike how the plug needs to be accessed by popping the hood. I assume you cannot fully latch the hood when it's plugged into an extension cord, so I worry since we don't have a safety latch on our hoods I have a...

    Powerstop Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit

    That's a bummer. I already hate how much i have to clean my wheels with the OE pads.

    Adaptive CC

    I agree. On my wife’s Honda you can toggle between normal and adaptive with a button press on the steering wheel.

    removing 2nd row seats

    If you had asked me when I first got the car I would have been interested, but ever since discovering i could remove the middle seat i've really liked having the versatility. I've switched it up a couple times now depending on needs.

    Powerstop Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit

    How is noise with this kit for anyone who currently has them?

    Adaptive CC

    it can be. I believe you navigate to driver assist settings in the center screen and go to cruise control and you can switch between basic, adaptive and intelligent.

    2026 Ford Explorer Replaces Vista Roof With Fixed Glass Option

    Been some weeks since that post, so weather is much cooler. That means sunshade fully open, and I still pop the roof open just as long as it’s not raining out. Honestly it’s probably my favorite optioned feature in the vehicle, but I get why some people don’t care for it, especially when...

    2020 Ford black badges

    IS this the Timberline badges? ANyone have a pic of these on an ST? Every google hit for black ford badges on an ST shows a fully blacked out emblem which is not what I want. I actually want the chrome circle and script like stock, but just with a black background. Would like to see some...

    Security lug nuts - Advice Needed

    I have different gorilla lugs on one of my Mustangs. Car never sees rain, but I washed it once and those suckers started to rust. Had to swap them out.

    Why Didn't I Get An "ST" Logo Fab? A 2025 Letter to FORD CEO

    Agreed. That’s one option I would have gladly gone for even if mostly for show with my use. I know there are aftermarket kits, but none work with the OE wheels (which I like) without using spacers

    Why Didn't I Get An "ST" Logo Fab? A 2025 Letter to FORD CEO

    I do this sort of stuff for a living. You'd have to spend time scanning/designing it, test-printing a prototype, and then printing it from a good (not PLA) material. There still some time involved...and you don't want to see my hourly rate for design work. Would be cheaper to buy a used...

    Reverse Park Assist Not Available

    Sensor issue. One isn't plugged in properly, or may have been damaged. Unsure, but if you were to pull DTC's with ForScan you might find one that gives you more specific information.
