    What did you learn that's not in the Users Manual?

    When you use the front window washer, a nozzle under the front camera also squirts the front camera, same goes for the rear, when you wash the rear window, it washes the rear camera.

    What torque wrench would you recommend?

    Mine is a Carlyle t ha t I got from Napa. It goes up to 250ft lbs. I bought it for my f350 dually that I traded in for my ST. I can't remember what I paid for it, but its certainly cheaper than the Snap on, Mac, and Matco ones. The one I have works great, but I don't use it all that much, only...

    Custom wheel build measurements.

    Definitely good info to share and have. Eventually I'd like to go with a different wheel, but I have other mods that more important right now. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Custom wheel build measurements.

    I will be running police interceptor steel 18" wheels for winter, as the PI has the same brakes as the street performance package. The PI wheels will clear calipers. Combined with Firestone Winterforce 2 UV tires, should be good to go in our Northeast weird winter weather. Sent from my SM-N975U...

    Oil and Filter Cartridge Change

    I always do my own Maintenance, and repairs on my vehicles. I went to a vocational school for automotive. I have air tools, two tool boxes, compressors, and my own lift. I work on my friends vehicles too, to help them out. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Oil and Filter Cartridge Change

    Just did my first oil change at 1100 miles, to get the new engine debris and machining dust, etc. out. I used Castrol Edge Advanced. I used a MC filter. Heads up on the MC filters, looks like MC has revised the filter, the PN is now FL-2062-a. The new filter is made in brazil and no longer has...

    What would you have purchased if there were no Explorer ST?

    Your ST's pet name??

    My ST's name is Opal, as the metallic bits in the Star White paint have a opal gemstone effect in the sunlight. My paint on top, pic of an opal on the bottom. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Wife Wants Explorer ST

    My ST is a 3/20 build date. So far at 700 miles, not one hiccup. No rattles, squeaks, clunks or weird stuff has happened (knock on wood). However, the day I got it home, I did put it on my lift and looked for obvious stuff, loose connectors, bolt check, re-torqued lugnuts(150ft.lbs) loose clamps...

    Beat up by a car wash

    Hand wash only for mine. I use the Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic line of products and so far I like the results. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Cheap black lug mod

    Had a set of black plastic lugnut covers from my camper, test fit one on the lugnuts of the ST, perfect fit! So much better looking imho. I will upgrade to the black gorilla lugnuts in the future, but for now, these work perfectly. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    What did your Ford Explorer ST replace?

    Mine replaced a 2017 f350 platinum crew cab dually. A tree fell on our 34 ft keystone cougar fifth wheel camper. We decided not to replace the camper. The truck pretty much paid for our ST. We wanted a three row suv to take friends and family with us on trips to the beach and other places where...

    New owner Sport mode/ turbo very underwhelming

    My dealer filled mine up with 93, I requested it, they sent a guy out, he came back and showed the receipt to verify it was 93. I'm still on the first tank, but the 100 mile drive home in eco, I averaged 23.8. I don't know how accurate the system is, I will hand calculate on the next fill up. I...

    ST Accessories/Modifications

    When I bought my ST, the dealer threw in the Ford floor liners for free. I have the front, second row, and the rear lift up compartment liner. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    New ST owner

    Hey folks, my name is Paul, just bought a star white ST with the street package. So far I love it! Borla exhaust, bomba bov and UPR catch can coming in the near future. Had to drive a 100 miles to find it, that was the closest dealer that had what me and the wife wanted. Just gave it its first...
