Interesting perspective. Purely from a weight reduction perspective, 20s are you’re best option. I’d have to do a little research to see what would be my recommended “maximum performance” (odd to say on a SUV) wheel and tire setup would be. That could be pretty expensive, what are you looking to...

That would be a huge pain to try to get all the electronics to work together, for not much benefit.

That’s unfortunate. Literally just used your sheet yesterday, was very helpful.

Congrats and welcome back to the Ford family! Be sure to check out my modding guide, gives you the full rundown of everything you can do to these cars: https://explorerst.wordpress.com/2025/03/13/explorer-st-modding-guide/

Congrats and welcome!

Should fit fine.

If you’re experiencing wheel hop, yes I’d get those parts too.

Nothings changed, people have put this brace on their 2025s. ID-Speed probably just hasn’t updated their site.

I haven’t heard Ford say that, probably because it’s not true. They haven’t fixed it. Reason you’re not seeing as many failures is either because the people who drive these cars the hardest stayed with the older models because they’re tunable, or the people who have upgraded are smart enough to...

ST-Line grille looks good.

Tailgaters beware!

That would make sense.

I think if you unplug the battery you can bypass maintenance mode altogether. At least that’s what Houston Speeds Freaks said in one of their videos.

That problem isn’t with the diff brace, that’s with the crappy differential bushings that Steeda offers. Like I said, I’ve never seen a diff brace cause problems, except for the Steeda ones. Also, a lot of people have already installed a diff brace on their 25, it is definitely needed because if...

This forum is for 6th-generation Explorer STs. Maybe we can rub off on you and get you to upgrade to an Explorer ST. If you’re looking for a forum, I’ll include one that would be best for your 2017: explorerforum.com

Welcome to the forum and the Ford family! -Rear Climate controls: Order part LB5Z-19980-H Wiring is already prepped. Remove rear center console cover, remove a few screws, put it in place, plug it in, replace a few screws, replace rear center console cover. It’s that easy. -Intercooler: What...

What issues are you talking about? I’ve never seen a rear differential cause problems (other than the mounting bolts snapping on the Steeda unit). They’re definitely needed on the 2025s if you even do the slightest hard driving. The ID-Speed unit will fit, nothing changed for the 2025s rear...

The ID-Speed is built to minick the 2-bolt rear end. The AWR helps, but has a weird torsional effect that I don’t like and puts more stress on the 2nd bolt (if you have the 2-bolt rearend) or put the rear differential at an odd angle (if you have the 1-bolt rear end).

It most likely isn’t any better than prior years. If you’re launching the car at all, or even mildly drive hard you’ll need a diff brace. The ID-Speed unit is the best one.
