    Obessed Garage

    Hey everyone - I'm suprised I haven't seen this site mentioned (or I missed it) on here. Obsessed Garage | Home Of The Obsessed This guy covers a ton of cleaning tips and products. I think I found a brush that I'll get for between spoke cleaning on my black rims. hope it helps!

    Car wash/detail tips

    I definitely think taking the wheel off is the best way to get to it! Not sure I want to go through that hassle every time I wash it (esp. given the very different 4 seasons we get here in Western PA) Thought someone here might have found a life-hack using a type of brush or tool! If you go...

    Car wash/detail tips

    I've got the black ST wheels, which look great but I'm struggling to keep the inside walls of the wheel clean. I use a rag and wipe them down after a wash but one rainy day or a dirty road and they're messy again. Two questions: 1)what's the best tool to use to clean these? it's tough on the...

    All Weather Floor Mats

    I'm late to this forum, but posting b/c someone else may research the same thing. I've had weathertech in multiple cars. I went with the Ford liners (for the front and 2nd row) this time and am really pleased with them. I like the softer rubber which covers the carpet and edges really well...

    Atlas Blue Photographs Well at Sundown

    that 3rd picture (from the rear, towards the water) really came out great and shows how nice that paint color is. I always go with Blue or Black cars but the price was wayyy right on the Star White they had on sale labor day weekend. You have convinced me to remove the Explorer badging off the...

    Driving in snow report

    Thanks for this update! I'm really glad to hear this truck does well in snow. Older Explorers did and I wondered if the new drivechain and weight distribution on this one took away from that. The Blizzaks are great tires. The Michelin version, Latitude X-ice are very good studless winter...

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

    I thought I saw an option to "start at beginning of song" when you went to a new station and I don't think it was just for XM, but maybe it was.

    Custom 3” Downpipes & Exhaust

    this looks great. I've never done any mods to a vehicle but am inspired by so much cool work that's been done to these STs. the exhaust work looks really good and I like the winter wheel setup.

    Driving in snow report

    For the occasional ski trip, you're probably fine, just use the slippery mode in any sort of winter weather and most importantly, watch your speed and distance from others. The Pirellis don't have any sidewall tread like a winter tire and the narrow grooves pack up with slush and snow pretty...

    Driving in snow report

    I was really disappointed with how poorly this truck stuck to the road when it was a little slick. I am certain it's more tires than actual driving mode or AWD capability. I have the original Pirelli "all season" tires, but I don't think those seasons include a snowy one. I spent 7years living...

    I think it's really cool Ford is doing this. I'll be going to Ashville at a date TBD.

    Towing with the Explorer ST

    First time towing with my ST last week when I rented a 16' trailer rated around 3000lbs. I don't know the tongue weight, but am guessing it was less than 500. I towed with a standard hitch, no weight distribution and there wasn't any noticeable sag. No brakes on this trailer and the towing...

    5 Months in...a few issues

    #2 - Steering Wheel Bulge. I had a small piece sticking out right at the bottom/center of the wheel facing the footwell. It felt like just where an injection mold was done to make the wheel itself...not sure. I got out a good blade and just shaved it back myself. a bit disappointing it...

    Floor Liners

    Has anyone seen a tailgate liner that can fold up with the seats? I realize any fold would probably let water through, but I'm mostly worried about dirt. It just seems dumb that the hard rubber liners need to be totally removed if you use the 3rd row seats. The other option is to just buy the...

    Winter Car Wash

    I'm with you on this one. My buddy owns several gas stations w/car washes here in western PA. I asked him about touch/touchless washes and he said the touch washers are fine these days. (and I think they do a better job, esp. on the plastic body trim) The machines are all calibrated to not...

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

    thanks. I figured it was configurable, but good to know where to look. this is my first car with Autostart, makes total sense climate adjustments should be automatic too.

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

    I live in Western PA and it's just starting to get cool outside. I've been using the Autostart feature from the fob and when I get into the car, the seat heater and steering wheel heater are both on and the temperature is set to 71 degs. That's not how I left the car the night before, so this...

    Who's ST came with the undercover between the two mufflers??

    ha, mine came with the cargo net. it sucks! I used it for about a week then put it back in it's case and stored it away. maybe it'll be useful someday..
