    Differential Brace for 2025 ST

    Your 2025 is under powertrain warranty until 5/60. There have been plenty of people with broken struts in the 2025s, yet no reports of diff issues. Putting on a brace at this point is only to make you feel good. Save your $500 for something else. Cheers.

    2025 Explorer ST Noise coming from the dash

    Good to hear you got it finally resolved. We definitely have fan noise when a phone is on the wireless charger or when the cooled seats are engaged. But it sounded like your issue was louder than expected.

    2025 Explorer ST Dash Cover

    What is the purpose of a dash cover ? Haven't seen them since the 1980s. If you're concerned about UV damage, how about just use some 303 spray ?

    Oil Change

    I did at 2500 and at 6k. Next at 10k, then every 5k after that

    Build quality

    Oh yeah, those 2025 back seats look like they are on top of some 15" subs when going down the road, shake like hell with no one in them, but they are normal when people sit in them. They don't move at all when parked. Strangest thing.

    Auto Stop

    On the 2025, yes the ASS pop up will disappear if I buckle the seat belt after disabling it and the seat belt pop up will disappear after about 100 yards of driving each key start, but they are both annoying.

    Auto Stop

    Do you have a 2025 ?

    Auto Stop

    Press OK to get rip of pop up when disabling ASS, press OK again to get rip of pop up to hide seatbelt status. Same issue on our F150 when towing, every time there are pop ups about reverse braking not working and other obvious idiot lights and warnings. A "thousand" is an exaggeration, but the...

    Auto Stop

    start car, buckle seat belt, turn off ASS, click ok a thousand times to get rid of the pop ups on the IC, put it in gear, crank the music, stomp the gas pedal, enjoy the drive.

    First Oil Change - What came out?

    I have a 2025 and have changed the oil twice now. I put it on ramps to drain it. The first time after letting it drain for about 20min I put 6qt in and it was about a half inch over the upper hole when checking next morning cold. The second time, after letting it drain for about 20min, I poured...

    Sync Hotspot compatibility with Mint/T-Mobile

    Mint typically only works with phones and not mifis/hotspots/watches/etc.

    what is this item found when changing oil

    So nothing to worry about - just toss it or what ?

    What grade of gas do you put in your ST?

    93 because I like to do a few WOTs per tank and feel it get unleashed.

    what is this item found when changing oil

    Doing second oil change at 6k miles after first one at 2,500 miles. When dropping felt diaper, this fell out. Didn't see where it came from and didn't have this last time. The front strut was replaced a few weeks ago. It is a little over about one inch by one inch. Anyone know what this is ???

    Dashcam recommendations

    yes, it is a typo, all the parts in the head are the same.

    Just picked up a 2025 ST and some questions

    I have no idea what the sound difference is, you'd have to go listen at a dealer. I have a job1 with the 14 speakers and they sound really good.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    May through the late fall were Job 1 which had everything included. Late fall through current is Job 2 which splits out some features to the S&S package and others were dropped completely.

    Engine noise

    The 3.0 in the 25 ST is significantly louder than the 3.5 in my F150. Would love to turn off the feng. I tend to crank the music to cover it up

    Ota software update

    LOL - this update hit while out running an errand an hour ago

    Ota software update

    I have one of the first 2025s down the line, a May16 2024 build that was shipped from the plant in August 2025 three months later. I have not had one OTA yet. The only gremlin I've experienced is when clicking OK as soon as turning off ASS, I get a quick red pop up about the charging system. It...
