    Lowering Rear only

    I did happen to see those conversations as I was digging for information since I have to do a replacement on my currently leaking rear shock and figured I’d take the opportunity to upgrade if possible. Apparently from what I’ve seen we’re still waiting on a verdict. In any case, I’d imagine the...

    Lowering Rear only

    It's more like I don't want a dealer spotting the obvious aftermarket attachment due to its bright blue color when something else inevitably fails on this car and needs replacement, just in case they want to argue that its related. Secondary is the fact that I personally don't want to be able to...

    Lowering Rear only

    Trust me I did that within the first week I had the car immediately after it severely slammed on the brakes while I was slowly backing down my driveway and threw my dog into the back tailgate almost breaking his neck. Felt like the I hit something and felt like the rear subframe broke it was so...

    Lowering Rear only

    I don’t think anyone’s really answered your question, but I was wanting to know the same thing. I’m contemplating putting Steeda springs on just the rear to make the car more level and match up the wheel well area. I’m envisioning a much nicer stance with only approximately a 1” drop in the...

    Rear Shocks

    I suppose that makes sense. Don’t have time to read all the fine print on everything all the time. I just saw the Steeda label on “their” shocks. Knew the description was that they were of equal performance to the STs original shocks, no explanation of it being the same exact thing. Figured...

    Recall Rear Bolt Fracture?

    I slapped an AWR brace on mine when I got my car a year ago due to all the concern with these vehicle’s rear differential/axle connections and previous recalls I heard of. I’m presuming it addresses the problem. Not sure why car manufacturers don’t automatically include rear diff braces honestly...

    Rear Shocks

    Going in to the dealer tomorrow to get my right rear shock replaced. It’s leaking. Different dealership I go to for maintenance saw it when doing a tire rotation for me and showed it to me. I have stock springs. Car is 2 years old, 45,000 miles. Steeda is probably higher quality than motorcraft...

    Can Reverse Brake Assist Be Tuned Off?

    I don’t mind the parking sensors nearly as much. I would’ve traded my car back in if I couldn’t disable their AWFUL rear brake assist permanently though (I have a ‘21). Or any brake assist for that matter. If that turned back on every time I got in the car I’d be so pissed and annoyed. Like...

    Reverse Emergency Braking Assist

    The car is absolutely not smart. Just a few days after buying my 2021 ST I went to back down my driveway (very slight slope, and about 3 car lengths in length from neighborhood road) and right after I started backing up, with my foot slightly touching the brake pedal, I see a car about to drive...

    Weathertech Rain Guard - Side Deflectors are now available!

    Interesting, the Goodyear rear-side ones don’t make any noise, in fact, they’re significantly more quiet than the front ones when the window is cracked at highway speeds. HOWEVER, they were a b**** to get properly installed without the window catching.

    Roof rack cross bars?

    Cool beans. Are the Ford Crossbars relatively quiet/aerodynamic? I’m having a hard time justifying $700 for an aero set from Thule or Yakima. Research says Yakima crossbars are the most silent compared to Thule.

    Roof rack cross bars?

    what brand-name cargo boxes are compatible with the Ford crossbars?

    Ford Performance Tune

    Does the trans go through a relearn when the FP tune is installed? Or is that something you had done separately? I had to have a trans relearn done on my stock ST, curious if it undergoes it again once I get the FP tune.

    FS WeatherTech No Drill Mudflaps

    Okay so I guess it’s an easy install. But why don’t you like them? I need to know your opinion before deciding if I should install them.

    Difference between model years

    I bought a used ‘21 Explorer ST because it saved me at least $10k over a new similarly equipped ‘22. I deliberately went for ‘21s instead of ‘20s because of all the issues that had been reported for the new model year. Some people might be lucky, but the 20 and 21 got a 1 out of 5 reliability...

    FS WeatherTech No Drill Mudflaps

    Why didn't you like them? After going through the hassle of installing them, I hear it's not so easy.

    Weathertech Rain Guard - Side Deflectors are now available!

    lol of course. I returned my weathertech guards last month when I found out that Goodyear provided front AND side in-channel window guards. Would've preferred to stick with weathertech.

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    I don’t know about the platinum but the ST interior is made with way more creaky cracky plastic than any Dodge I’ve ever been in. The seat is also super noisy around turns as well. The seats offer zero lateral support as well. There is no way new Durango has a cheaper interior, and certainly no...
