    5 Star tune. My experience so far.

    Was this happening during WOT or after lifting? I've only really noticed any hang after lifting in sport mode since the trucks seem to want to engine brake and stay in gear. But it was like that stock, too . . .

    Said I would never have a white vehicle

    The metallic white has really done well at hiding a lot of road debris in my view. I barely notice all of the salt all over mine at the moment, for example. A real dark grime will show, but I find that to be few and far between.

    Said I would never have a white vehicle

    My wife normally hates white vehicles but she is fine with the Star White due to all of the metallic flake and pop. Funny how that was what made it OK!

    Builds are now in Trackhawk territory

    Such great cars. I think mine has had about 200 miles on it this year. Debating throwing an LSA on it next year or Procharger.

    Builds are now in Trackhawk territory

    I asked this question to 5 Star Tuning yesterday. Apparently the only difference in a tune with a warranty purchase versus a tune without is this: "The only difference is we disable any user options so the custom tune can't be changed on your end to make sure everything stays within safety...

    Builds are now in Trackhawk territory

    I think it's a similar idea as the Ford Performance tunes. I have a 2004 GTO that is heavily built and I have no real desire to use my ST in the same manner. I wanted some performance gains without going to the extreme and with the fact that I'm not out a few grand if I pop the transmission or...

    Builds are now in Trackhawk territory

    Not that I’m aware of. Even if it is, however, the improvements over stock are night and day. It’s not remotely Similar to what it was. They’ll retune for free for time bought through them as well. Will be doing down pipes and the Whipple IC at some point.

    Builds are now in Trackhawk territory

    If you are worried about the warranty (as I was), why don't you go with 5 Star? 5 Star offers a warranty package. 5 years/60,000 miles is $500 and 6 years/100,000 miles is $1,000. I went with the 5/60 since I can't imagine the 6/100 being worth it for double the price. Reading up on the F150...

    Active grill shutters & Whipple IC

    I believe that the only advantage of leaving them is a minor MPG boost.

    Name ONE ST Feature others might not know.....

    The one thing I like best about that (other than the feature itself) is that the vehicle shown in the distance section changes based on the drive mode your in. In Sport mode, it's a Mustang. In Tow mode, it's an F150. In Eco mode, I think it's a Fusion. Fun little quirk.

    Platinum vs st differences?

    Right on. I actually would have considered the Platinum if I had known that. The seats are a bit more plush.

    Platinum vs st differences?

    Is it solely tuning? So no difference on the engine internals?

    Radio feature? (pause, rewind, then play live radio)

    You can definitely do that for XM on the ST. You need to be in the audio section and then you'll see a button "REPLAY". You can pause, replay, and skip (if you are behind) that way, there. Not sure about AM/FM.

    Who turns around and admire their Explorer ST after parking it?

    All the time. Did it today again. I almost feel silly doing it, but it is what it is.

    EXPLORER ST DRIVING SCHOOL REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

    Oh, that I am fine with. I will likely not travel without the vaccine myself, however. Wife already has her first dose with second in a few weeks.

    EXPLORER ST DRIVING SCHOOL REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

    Booked the wife and I for 7/18 and 7/19 in Asheville! Debating how many extra days to book for ourselves, now. Figure I will have the vaccine by then (hopefully)!

    Im in Trouble

    Yep, wheel repair folks can easily fix this likely and it'll look a lot better than merely painting.

    20" All Terrain Setup Questions

    I have to admit that the idea of running ATs is interesting. Not what I thought I'd ever consider when I bought the truck.

    Star White Metallic Tri-coat (post em all here so I can have eye candy)

    I do admit that I quite like the stripes. It looks like a factory-spec hot hatch from Europe. Very well done!!!!!

    Did you purchase an extended warranty?

    I bought one. But I bought it almost exclusively for the non-powertrain stuff. I am going to tune and mod the truck eventually (likely trying to stay with a warrantied tune such as 5 Star or Ford [when they release it]), so the powertrain side doesn't really worry me as much. But I am just so...
