Congrats and welcome.

Must have been. That’s odd.

Is the reverse brake assist still on in the touchscreen? I turned it off on our ST and I get that message.

It guaranteed is normal but I think @SeanColin and I just want to know what it is.

Agree that it has to be let off somewhere. It has been theorized that since the throttle body is electronically controlled that it stayed open slightly to let the excess pressure flow through.

Agree. Under same conditions mine has a blow off sound that sounds really neat, but is odd due to now BOV on these years.

Embarrassingly, although I can write a whole thread about aftermarket parts, I have none installed on my car. I do know that a lot of people run it on these cars and they are probably the best choice all around.

CVFab is cheapest intercooler and performs just the same as the other ones.

Looking good!

Sport mode goes through all the gears. Normal and Eco skip gears up shifting and downshifting. Raptor does the same thing. To me it gives it a lazy tranny response , and I agree I would rather have it not do that.

I usually have a little abrupt shift at that speed when it up shifts in sport mode, but if it is a jerk and is not in sport mode probably needs a transmission flush.

Suspension Rear Sway Bar The rear sway bar will completely transform the way that this 4,000LB. SUV. Steeda and aFe are the two manufacturers of aftermarket rear sway bars for the Explorer ST’s, and I would recommend aFe. As far as performance goes, Steeda is slightly better but Steeda’s sway...

Intercooler The #1 modification everyone needs on their Explorer ST is an upgraded intercooler. Any quality intercooler (CV Fabrication, Whipple, Steeda, CPE) are all the same performance wise, and are more then 2-times the size of the stock intercooler (which is the same size as the Focus ST...

Exterior Who knew that the Explorer could transform from a blocky SUV to a Mustang beating sleeper? Why not show that power in the exterior? Hitch Cover The hitch-cover will give the rear of the ST a cleaner look in the rear. There are a few options to choose from, from the likes of Waido...

Exhaust This part is highly subjective, as the “perfect” exhaust note depends on one’s taste. I will summarize this section. Cat-Back Exhaust The stock catback, though extremely quiet, is actually not that restrictive. Upgrading to an aftermarket exhaust will not net a worthwhile gain if you...

Not available on 2025+ ST's due to PCM being locked ECM Tuning This is the most important effective modification. Just an ECM tuning can bring the quarter mile times down to Low 12’s. There are quite a few options when it comes to tuning so I will just recommend the best for each purpose...

Drivetrain Oil Tip These cars have an oil pressure problem under hard launches. An easy fix is to fill the oil to 6.5 qts., which is actually what Ford now specifies on the 2025 ST. Oil Pan FenFabrication is offering an upgraded, bigger oil pan for these vehicles. It practically eliminates...
