2.5L? If you’re talking deeper sand, these cars aren’t meant for that and the stock Pirellis suck so there’s a good chance of getting stuck. If it’s more compacted, not deep sand you’d be fine.

Borla is overpriced and doesn’t replace flex pipes and retains stock 2.25 in piping. MBRP will drone. Only two good options IMO are AWE and Thermal. http://explorerstenthusiasts.com/2025/05/30/lets-talk-exhausts/

I’m not a fan of Valvetronic mufflers, they sound tinny and too raspy for my taste.

The Eibachs are low enough that you don’t need a spring compressor. You need one for removal though.

Have the tires balanced. Sometimes the foam inside of the tire becomes dislodged and needs to be removed, that’ll be apparent with a balancing.

Just find someone who will swap out there roof rails for your delete pieces, there’s quite a bit of people who’d be willing to do that.

Police Interceptor Utility. The Ford Explorer cop car, basically.

I wouldn’t ceramic coat the plastic. I Just go over all of it with Meguires Plastic Restorer every once in a while.

Trust me, I had an early build 2020 with every problem in the book, but they fixed that towards they end of the build year, and most 2021s are fine.

2020-21 are perfectly fine, it’s the very early 2019 builds I’d stay away from.

Lot of info here for buying a 2020-24 ExST: http://explorerstenthusiasts.com/2025/04/24/2020-24-explorer-st-buyers-guide/

I forgot to ask Adam, but is there any other items that aren’t available to fully finish out a built drivetrain? I was thinking the only thing really missing would be an upgraded driveshaft.

That’s about a grand cheaper than the GT350 setup. OEM is just find for rotors and pads, I like the Powerstop units because they look neat, but they don’t help braking performance.

They would smell, any reputable tuners won’t tune for them, they would sound horrible with any aftermarket exhaust, and there’d barely be any gains.

It’s hard to say what Street Pack brakes upgrade will cost because it depends on how much you purchase used ones for.

Have you done any quarter mile runs?

Need to have a photo of the item with a piece of paper with your name and the date per group rules.

Welcome!

Yes, you can do multi quote just quote the first person and then go back and quote again another. The Aturos seem like a very decent tire, I’ll be going with some AZ810s soon.

Congrats and welcome!
