    Exhaust smell inside vehicle

    Well guys, this may do it for me. At about 20K miles my wife and I have noticed an exhaust smell inside the vehicle. Not willing to keep the ST with this issue. Taking it into the dealer to have it looked at next week along with the recall on the screen. I might see what they will give me for it...

    How many people warm up their Explorer ST before driving?

    Start and go, in my opinion. Wife uses it a lot more than I do, so she may start it with her phone to make it comfortable for her, but not for the sake of the ST.

    What kind of washer fluid are you using

    I just get the Walmart fluid and usually have no issues. I put new Michelin blades on, but OEM were actually better. I was a diehard Trico fan, being a parts pro at PepBoys in my former life, but feel that Bosch and some others have caught up in quality. Also, try cleaning your blades with...

    Oil Brands you use?

    Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30 is my choice and I go about 10K between changes. I go 15K between changes on my other car

    Wider tires on the ST's 20" wheel

    I won't need tires until later next year, but seeing if anyone has put a different size tire on their 20" inch ST rims to get a sportier look, say a size 275/50R20?

    Anyone ever made a SPORT button?

    A little off subject, but if all those lights start flashing on my dash again I will just cover them up with black electrical tape like we had to do with the Chevy's, but at least it was not untill 100K miles.

    Any chance you had your E-brake (parking brake) on?

    ST street package 21

    245/50R20 is too short of a tire. You need either 255/55R20 or say 275/50R20 on the ST.

    Pre-buy Used 2020ST Check list?

    No help on the squeak. Others have spoken about it on this forum. If I could recommend leaving the key in the center console, as designed, and using the door key pad. That really works great once you start using it. I have not seen my keys in months. Other than that, hopefully you have a Ford...

    Pre-buy Used 2020ST Check list?

    Seeing if you bought the ST today? I did receive a recall notice this week for mine with regards to the issue of a blue screen issue when putting the vehicle in reverse. If yours has less than 36K miles you should be in good shape for having things fixed. I would thoroughly check the exhaust...

    Got my son this nice little Honda for Christmas. Of course I will be riding it also.

    Front Diff sensor leaking

    Yes, mine was leaking bad, which started about 2 months after the dealer changed out this sensor. Possibly the technician did not pay attention to how the seal was seated when he replaced this sensor. I had a rollback tow my ST to the dealer, which Ford pays for while under warranty.

    How many people have had driver side heated seat issues?

    Mine continues to work fine at 19K. I bought it brand new and I am against buying extended warranties, but that was because I knew I didn't need it with my Honda Accord. I might reconsider with the ST before I hit 36K.

    Bought a st forChristmas

    Correction, you bought 'an' ST. Sorry, a pet peeve of mine.

    6 drivetrain errors

    That's what they had to replace on mine. Unfortunately a month or two later, the new sensor started leaking and gear oil was everywhere. So ST had to make another trip to the dealer on a rollback, of course covered by Ford.

    Occasional engine/fuel hiccup on take off?

    Yes, I think I have felt the same. I will accept as normal. I also mostly only use 87 octane, so may be related to that. Also have turbo lag.

    Broken lumbar bucket!!!

    CarMax and Vroom offering $49K on 2020 STs.

    Broken lumbar bucket!!!

    They are hard on you man, all in good fun. Yeah, right now CarMax and Vroom offered me what I paid for my 2020 ST, but not really looking to get rid of it. Some dealers selling for thousands over sticker, not a chance. So with buyback they will just put back on the lot and resell.

    Run Flats?

    If you want the best, go with Michelin if they make them in the size you want. They now have an airless tire but they look like the ones on lawnmowers.
