    Why we didn't buy an Explorer ST, and other various thoughts

    The ST is compared to the SRT since they're both the "sporty" version of their family. In reality, the ST is closer direct comparison to the RT, price point, power wise, options, etc. But the ST annihilates the RT in practically everything but towing, sound and "fit and finish".] So they rather...

    Went to do an oil change and found this ….

    I was here hoping it was a 10 MM socket lol Probably a tool that was left behind when it was being built

    Reconsidering Explorer ST

    We have a full jogger stroller and it fits behind the 3rd row. A bit snug, but it fits. If you want to add anything else though like a bag, itll barely fit one side but thats about it. Dont need to remove any adapters or anything either. Interesting about that, the new Aviators are advertised...

    Reconsidering Explorer ST

    Oh no doubt they will drop in price but dont think it will be a nice drop in price either, im sure itll hold very well. The Escalade V is a totally different luxury competitor, IMO, the Durango Hellcat is (was?) the best 3rd row bang for buck SUV. Escalades are already 100+k as is, cant imagine...

    Reconsidering Explorer ST

    If you're playing the waiting game for something cheaper or newer, you're never going to get anything. Something will always come up. Far as non sport models as powerful as the ST? Do you mean the Platinum and KR? If so, they are the more expensive higher trims with the 99.9% exact drivetrain...

    SYNC3 Build 22020/22048

    I never use Sync's 3 Nav as its slow and nowhere near as good in general vs the Google maps. Also the voice assistance from Sync 3 is horrible, never gets the right address. Full screen nav looks nice thats about it lol Sync 4 isnt much better, just a faster nicer looking Sync 3 but its UI and...

    SYNC3 Build 22020/22048

    Doesnt need much on the hardware, just needs to literally make the back up screen to show in a bigger area. Its just video signal. Android auto/carplay also, it is very possible to show it tad bigger than what it is. Subaru already did it with Carplay. Doesnt really rely on infotainment...

    Or placebo effect lol How does it sound on WOT or with slight gas? I would buy it just for the looks and slight whooosh sound

    Are Aviators Welcome?

    I believe those are options only on the higher trims. Could be wrong though.

    Premium Gas and Full Synthetic Oil..

    $5 here and jumping, other places nearby are at or close to $6. Its insane! And yes OP, premium all the time and full synthetic.

    Are Aviators Welcome?

    I have a Platinum lol I mean far as a mods community for the 3.0L, this place would possibly be the best place to go to.

    Explorer ST reducing the 60ft

    Exactly what @Exploderst those traps look to be from a stock ST. Your 1/4 mile times as well are not too far off from a stock ST either.

    Explorer ST reducing the 60ft

    What was your trap speed in those runs?

    Explorer ST reducing the 60ft

    Crazy! Most ive done is 2k, even then, it feels like the SUV wants to take off. Is it even needed to remove the traction control? I mean dont think ive ever seen one nor myself's, heard it lose traction on a stock ST.

    aFe Momentum GT CAI

    That looks great! Cant imagine what it cost and time it took to get it done. So unless you have these things though, to get an accurate blend or close to, would be extremely hard. Thats why those dyno runs with mix E85 with before and after extra mods can be a bit sketchy like the Fenfab dyno...

    aFe Momentum GT CAI

    Correct, if you know how much Ethanol % is in the pump to begin with. I dont think I saw a measuring device on my local pump nor am familiar if you can get one for a car. Might be wrong though.

    aFe Momentum GT CAI

    Dont have an FB so cant see all the posts. Even then, you said lower grade fuel wont see the full increase. Which goes back to my post, E85 can be 51% thru 83% ethanol. So some days the E50 mix might not even be E50 at all, or even close which can be a nice change on dyno power vs other days.

    aFe Momentum GT CAI

    It was also on stage 4 CRP turbos. I take it the benefits will be even less on the stock turbo's with or without E50 mix? Also, if I recall, arent the E85 pump stations up to E85? My local one is 51% to 83% ethanol, so not exactly "E85" 100% of the time. Im pretty sure that alone makes a...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Same turbo size, same compressor, different blades with the "new" anti lag system. Sounds to me like they just re-designed the blades but didnt change them, should be same amount of blades. Pretty sure the change was mainly on the elimination of boost lag and not the actual power which is where...
