    Upgraded has pedal?

    I went from a 17' XLT to a 20' ST. I like the ST much better. I didn't notice much difference in the gas pedal. You may want to try different seating positions to see if that helps. I did feel like the brake pedal was a little high, but once I put in thicker 3D Maxpider floor mats, all was fine.

    Disappointed but relieved...but I feel cheated. Glad I bought it.

    If you don't mind me asking, did the dealer low ball you on the trade in knowing you had the 2020 in the shop for repairs? Also for the 2020 vs 2023, the 2020 has a much nicer roof rack. The 2023 just uses the base model roof rack. You may also be missing the insulation on your firewall that...

    Heated steering wheel barely works.

    You may notice more of a difference when it gets colder outside.

    Racing Stripes

    Hey Broose, you never said what tire size you went with on the 20" wheel. I wanted to see what a little bit wider looks like.

    Recall Rear Bolt Fracture?

    A All 2020's had the 4 bolts. That is your original sway bar, mine is the same that I bought brand new. You do have some rust underneath that you should take care of before it gets any worse.

    Hard Water Spots

    Rewash it in the shade (absolutely no sun shining on the vehicle) or in the late evening and do the first go round with the chamois and then final dry with a microfiber towel. You should be fine after that.

    Weird Brake Issue Coming Out Of Park - Happens Randomly

    Trying to think why you may be using the parking brake so often. I have never used mine on my 2020 ST. I could see using it when parked on an incline or hill. Anyways, could be a brake power booster issue or brake fluid is low.

    Concerned Owner of 50k miles 2020ST. Need help!

    I had my left side catalytic converter replaced for the second time and same side flex pipe replaced for the first time at about 50K miles. Dealer said they were both covered under the emissions warranty. This warranty isn't widely advertised, but is tucked somewhere in the owner's manual.

    Well...what size did you go with? If you went wider than stock, please post a few pics.

    New guy here needs direction.

    How about something like this?

    Program new key fob

    Any chance that you can contact the previous owner to see if they have the other key? Also, make sure that the other key isn't in the key slot. This would be in the center armrest console, down in the front.

    Winter wheels and tires - and do I have Street Pack?

    I would call to be sure before ordering online from any wheel place. I did run a quick check on Tirerack and for a 20" wheel there are 127 wheels available whether I chose standard ST or with Street Pack.

    Winter wheels and tires - and do I have Street Pack?

    Just to be sure that you have the Street Pack, I would look at the rear rotors and make sure they are vented rotors like the front. Anyone can put those wheels on and paint the calipers red. Either way, I would say that any 20" wheel that fits the standard ST should also fit the ST with the...

    Stock 20" Width?

    As said by myself and others, please don't go wider than the 275 on the stock rim.

    TPMS sensor reset

    This is what I found in the online owners manual. I would definitely check the tires manually with tire pressure gauge...

    20" Tire Replacement

    So looking on their website, looks like you are talking about a 285/50r20. I wouldn't go wider than a 275 on our 20" wheel. For an awesome mileage tire, I would say the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra in a 275/50. Would love to see those Toyo's though in the 275/50 on the ST.

    Ford Explorer ST Recall 23S23 360 Degree Camera Stop Sale

    I haven't driven the MDX, but also just seen that it can touch $75K. The one Acura I have owned was superb quality. I test drove a 23' Atlas, but liked my ST much better. I thought maybe the 24' would be somewhat improved.

    Ford Explorer ST Recall 23S23 360 Degree Camera Stop Sale

    Or an Acura MDX Type S looks sweet or a VW Atlas SEL R-Line is quite nice.

    20" Tire Replacement

    I highly recommend the Falken Azenis FK460 A/S tire if you are willing to stay with the original size. For the price, I don't think you will find a better tire. I think 275/55 would be too tall of a tire. I had thought about going with a 275/50, but could not find any examples of how it would look.

    Tuxmat vs 3dMaxpider vs Weathertech

    I really like the look of my 3dMaxpider floor mats, but on the driver's side the two hold downs wore out after a few months and now the mat will move around some.
