When I tested, I found Sport mode, which holds the shift points longer, produced stronger acceleration and about 20% lower mileage. It also cancels the auto-stop feature which I only like in heavy traffic as it boosts the city mpg about 10-15% but can be annoying sometimes. I have not used the...

Check your settings for the interior lights. I had same issue until I made sure that the dimmer was set correctly. Also, checked the interior lights function of the information screen when setting the linterior light color.

Something is not right with your dealer. My extended warrantees only require regular required maintenance, usually annual check up and oil change. They can be done by any Ford dealer as people relocate all the time. Some will accept maintenance at any licensed repair shop as long as you keep...

I am on my fourth generation Explorer and each time I get a new one, it has more power and much better mpg and handling. Each one had a 6 cyl. My'93 averaged about 11 mpg with 15 mpg highway. Now I average 18 mpg with 25-27 highway (55-65 mph). And it can carry and tow a bunch more. Very...

Nice projects. Thinking about painting calipers to match body color. Not sure how difficult and whether it would look better than original red.

Have the back up camera blue screen issue sometimes. Usually comes back by turning off ignition and restarting. Since it is a TSB issue, I will have it dealt with during next regular service in a few months.

I did as well. Cars are getting extremely complex with all the added extras mechanically and electronically and there are rarely any simple repairs anymore. From past experience, extended warrnties have saved me thousands o dollars in repairs from transmissions, suspension problems and...

ST has some fun buddies: 2011 Mustang GT (hers) 2011 Shelby GT350 (624 hp) (mine) 1965 Mustang GT convertible (hers) 1966 Shelby GT350 (mine)

Remember that it is a waxy compound that does not cure to a had surface so it will allow the build up of dirt, grime and salts. While it will protect the metal surfaces from corrosion from this build up, any hot pressure wash will also remove some or all of the protectant. It is most commonly...

Cosmonline great moisture preventive preserver but comes off with solvents like brake cleaner so careful ay when using those kind of poducts. CRC brand Lectra Shield is same product coating.

The new Platinum has the power of the former Sport model that was replaced by the redesigned new Explorer ST series. I agree that the saleman fed you a line without showing you the Explorer brochure with the various models and their differences.

Keep the Platinum grill where it belongs and trade the SUV in for a a 2020 ST. You will enjoy the difference!:cool:

t would be interesting to know if the running temp increased due to air blockage.t be a good idea for using in areas with triple digit temps.

Same reaction here. Makes me feel that ST means Screw Tesla. This is a fun SUV.

Mine goes dark sporadically. It requires a reboot (engine restart) each time to get it to work. Looking forward to the repair when it becomes available.

Had it done at the shop. They would not due smart glass installs at house. They need to calibrate it.

Installer very familiar with setting the smart windshield. He had to drive the car around the block to set it. He explained everything and answered all questions about warranty and what to do for the first few hours while adhesive was setting, such as not to slam the doors with windows all up...

As noted above, my 2020 Explorer ST windshield took a pebble hit and had a small crack that expanded daily. I have never seen a repair that lasted and went for full replacement with Safelite. Excellent service. I checked beforehand and it was fully covered by my auto insurance. Set up an...

The rear doors also have the the touch door handle lock button. I didn't notice that for some time. Rear door unlocking by opening with the key in pocket unlocks all doors. Easy to verify as the side mirrors both close upon locking and open upon unlocking.

Vehicles here have to get an annual safety check for window tint, tire wear, working lights, current insurance and such. No smog check. If tint is beyond 35%, it has to be corrected. Gendarmes have to be able to see the driver and passenger. On passenger cars, rule applies to rear windows as...
