    Build quality

    Misaligned door, fender, and hood panels. Paint defects. Loose and or rattling interior trim panels. Sunshade doesn't fully close. Headliner edges don't meet door gasket. Bad struts at 4k miles. Been in the shop multiple times in four months of ownership. When I drive it, I like it, but these...

    Extended warranty ?

    Lots more. Maybe they'll match. You'll likely just get it from Granger. Don't let your dealer scam you with fear that you have to buy from them.

    A-z plan D plan… invoice??

    X plan is basically invoice. The others are better than invoice, but you probably don't qualify. Granger offers 4% below invoice, but you have to custom order and pickup or have it shipped...

    Clunk in front end

    https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2025-ford-explorer-st-front-end-popping-noises-at-low-speeds.8168/ I'm at 4k miles and having a strut mount replaced currently.

    Extended warranty ?

    And make sure if you do it, add the first day and enhanced rentals, all light and key options. They aren't included in the base price and LEDs are expensive if you need to replace.

    Extended warranty ?

    Go with Granger or Flood per those links above and only get the official Ford Protect Premium Care (ESP) /end thread

    Build date and time on lot….?

    2025 job 1 May build here. Both keys have ST on them and steering wheel is powered tilt/telescoping. But, I've had a lot of QC issues with this unit.

    They are replacing the drivers side upper strut mount.

    2025 new sync reviews?

    To me the google based system is very similar to android auto. When switching between the two in the 25 explorer, they both have the same feel, except that I tend to stay in AA most of the time due to the apps on my phone and to get the same experience as I have when in our 2021 F150 with Sync4...

    2025 Ford Explorer ST Front End Popping Noises at Low Speeds

    In the last week (~3800 miles) started to notice an occasional weird noise from the front at slow speeds when going straight that sounds like tumbling wood or like a solid front axle truck suspension wobbling.

    Mis-aligned Pano Sun Shade-Update

    I have a 2025 with both this issue and a exposed headliner posted here: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/2025-headliner-exposed-at-drivers-door.8205/ Dealer inspected and tried to fix early November, but determined they needed to order both a new headliner and a new sunshade. Parts just came...

    2025 Headliner Exposed at Drivers Door

    The dealer has already fixed misaligned body panels and other loose trim pieces. This is the last item and they've ordered a new headliner. Sucks that we didn't notice these items during test drive and/or delivery inspection. Also sucks that this was in Chicago for two plus months on QA hold and...
