    built in hard drive

    How do you 'rewind' Sirius on the ST? I could do it with my previous vehicle (2019 Mazda CX-9 GT) but haven't figured out how it is possible with the Explorer.

    Honest opinion of 2025 ST. Buying a 24.

    I'm guessing your steering column adjustment is manual also and not power. My early build ST has the rear sunshades and powered steering wheel column.

    Storage Unit for ST

    Exiting through the moonroof is an option if so equipped.

    SiriusXM preset help

    Back again; so I was driving today and played with the Sirius radio and I was wrong, the favorites are not "infinite" as I previously stated and will loop if you FF enough through the stations saved. I still haven't figured out how to delete anything I don't want though.

    SiriusXM preset help

    It would be very nice. My previous vehicle, a 2019 Mazda CX-9 GT's Sirius tuner allowed you to just make a favorites list which could include FM stations too and you could arrange the order of them quite easily. The other thing you could do was if you hit a station with a song you liked...

    2025 st digital dial options?

    I kinda thought it was from a different Ford vehicle and the dude in the video just grabbed an image off of the web without realizing they're not the same. That being said as others here have opined if they can offer that in the F150 then why not on the Explorer?

    SiriusXM preset help

    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.

    2025 st digital dial options?

    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...

    Auto Stop

    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...

    2025 ST telephone

    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...

    Just picked up a 2025 ST and some questions

    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...

    10 vs 14 speaker B&O on 2025 - worth it?

    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...

    2025 st digital dial options?

    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...

    2025 ST telephone

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

    2025 ST telephone

    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...

    Sirius quit working

    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...

    Engine noise

    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...

    Dashcam recommendations

    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...

    Odd behavior after Ford Pass remote start

    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...
