    Paint Quality issue - anyone else?

    I was cleaning off my ST the other day when I noticed what looked like a blob of excess paint on the top of the right front fender. It made me wonder 1) Is this the level of paint quality the factory is doing today. (fortunately the rest of the car looks fine) 2) I bought this from the dealer...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    three is a topic thread for this, but quick answer: the Pirelli Zero's are horrible in snow or slick weather! I'm in Western PA and we had several snow falls this year. I'm trying to burn up my Pirelli's in time for next fall to get something much better for all weather. I'll lose some fun...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    hey Jim, If I'm not mistaken, you have a White ST don't you? If so, could you post a picture of it with the blackouts on the front and rear? I was thinking of doing that with a black ST emblem. I also saw some white/Blue ones and though a Whiteout version might look good too. thanks!

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    I really like that white ST, the contrast with the black looks good. I have the Star White ST, so I'm wondering if it'd look good to neutralize the Red with the White or just keep the red? any thoughts?

    Phone Call Echo

    thanks for that update. What a crappy solution though! I'm often plugged into Android auto streaming a podcast, navigating on Wayz, and sometimes taking calls. I can't go back to a non-data connection. good to know it's an option though.

    Sunglasses holder and other cheapo trim issues

    I was having trouble getting my sunglasses holder to click and stay shut. yesterday, it actually broke. the latch mechanism just spit a part out into my lap. I'll point this out to the dealer, but is anyone else disappointed by some of the interior trim fit ups? I also have a small panel...

    Phone Call Echo

    I have a service appt this coming Monday (17th) and told them I'd like this to be looked at. Not expecting anything to happen, but hopeful someone there knows something. I appreciate you keeping us all posted.

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

    you know that annoying phone echo? Well, I get that a lot and I would always end up hitting privacy to take the call and the radio would come blaring back on. I just found a setting (I think it's in the phone settings) that when you push privacy, the radio will mute. still hate that I have to...

    2 ?s: 1) does this fix anything with the phone/echo issue we've been talking about on here? 2) can I update this over wifi as well or do I have to go through the USB update? TIA!

    Oil change schedule

    I bought mine with 5500miles on it. Dealer was driving it for a few months. The sticker said to get it changed at 10k, which I did, at a Ford Service place. I honestly thought they'd do more for a new owner first service, but they just charged me the cheap $50 it costs to do the work and sent...

    Phone Call Echo

    I did some research on this and I think the problem is more the phone and not the car. (just google the phone echo problem...) It's still not clear how to fix it, but for some reason the phone's microphone switches back on when it should stay muted while using the car's microphone. When I...

    that's cool you remember that. yeah, Ford was thining of replacing the rear wheel drive Mustang so they needed something competitive. The torque steer was unreal, but the interior was cool (for early 90s), and the turbo made for a fast car for sure. I really enjoyed it. My college roomate...

    Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

    I didn't go all in on debadging, but i took the EXPLORER off the hood and it looks a lot cleaner. i won't do more than that.

    Newbie and First Time Ford Owner

    Welcome to the group. I haven't owned a Ford since my 1990 Ford Probe GT (which I loved!) My dad always had Explorers and they've always been good vehicles for him. Mine was something of a COVID purchase and I really love it. Wasn't looking for white either but the Star White paint is nice...

    Radio station presets

    sorry I don't remember exactly where to find it, but YES, you can add more. You can set it to have 3 (maybe more) preset lists, the default it two though. I think I found that answer on this forum, so keep searching here or digging into those radio menus. When I'm in the car later I'll see if...

    Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

    I did not. The adhesive remover just said to apply it between temps of ~50-85f, and we had a nice sunny day in the 70s here. I had it parked in the sun for a bit, but no other heat applied.

    Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

    DIY Debadge I've never done this before, so thanks to the pros on here who talked about it. In the end, I felt taking the EXPLORER letters off would leave a cleaner front end, especially on the bright Star White model I have. The Black letter/white contrast really made them stand out. The...

    Good to know. I'm so cheap I'm not sure if I want to spend $50 on a brush or just keep using a towel wrapped around my hand! maybe on my father's day list.
