People that think open filters sitting on top of this motor are a good idea probably also think there are more than 2 genders.

How much do you want to spend? A GT350 front upgrade is roughly $1500 all in. I love mine and the car stops NOW, but it is only a front upgrade (at least until Tony figures out the rear setup). Rotora is a known name and make great products, so you have to determine if the addition (both...

Take that in for service. You're obviously driving a death-trap with driveshafts that are about to disintegrate like Tom Holland after Thanos' snap. For the OP, if you're really concerned and have way too much time to kill, sand them and paint them. If you think surface rust on axles is a...

Go with a rear sway bar. Front is a pain to install and doesn't provide much benefit. Also the Steeda Subframe Bushing Inserts are a must-do cheap upgrade. They help with wheelhop if you're tuned, but also just help the rear of the car feel more planted and controlled if you're stock. The...

Technically I can buy a 2022 ECU and tune it that way. Hoping someone cracks the security soon though. We'll see if Ford goes the same route on the 25 Explorers.

Yes, Forscan still works. Need to get it so I can activate my heated steering wheel. Don't want my hands to get cold while I'm using the Raptor to its full abilities in the Starbucks drive thru!

Well my 2023 Raptor is identical to the 2022, not even a refresh like the 25 Explorer, and my ECU is locked and not tuneable while 21-22 are tuneable. I'm sure Ford will do the same to the 25 Explorers.

My base brakes were pretty much toast at 30K miles. I'm not super kind to the brakes though.

You have a picture of the fitment? I got the 3D Spider folding cargo mat for the rear and love it. I want to replace my trash Weathertechs.

Get the Steeda Subframe Bushing Inserts. They make a huge difference.

This is a pretty easy job if you have to go to yourself. Axle is around $140, get an impact for the axle nut and have at it. But both my fronts were replaced under warranty and I have Steeda lowering springs, so your dealer is being a dick.

ZFG will not use this. He uses HPTuners and will stay that way. Don't bother with the Cobb OTS tune. If you want to go this Cobb route, go to @GooseTuned. Winfield, who runs it, makes a custom tune file using the Cobb Accessport. He does great work on the Raptors. I will be interested to...

Tony was supposed to be making a bracket to use the GT500 front brakes (16.5") in addition to his current GT350 bracket (15.5") so that's a start!

Yes, no one has adapted the Mustang and any other OEM rear Brembo. The GT350 won't work as that car uses a drum parking brake. The GT500 or S650 Performance Pack (not sure how much, if any, these are different than the GT500) rear Brembos could work as they have a separate EPB caliper. We...

These will work just fine. All mounting and attachment points are the same. Several have said it, the bushing inserts are a MUST DO mod to every Explorer. Personally I'd get Steeda Toe Links before either Vertical Links.

There are numerous posts on the various Explorer ST Facebook forums. Just search. Hell, look at Post #39 in this thread. It's a front-only upgrade. I'm very happy with mine.

First get the Platinum struts/shocks and springs. Then, downsize to smaller diameter and lighter wheels. And get appropriately sized tires with a fatter sidewall.

The Steeda kit will work for all subframes you'd find under an Explorer ST.

Besides the visual appeal, the only improvement is it's smaller and further back than the factory bar, so makes access to some engine parts easier. And it's stiff enough to put your weight on when trying to access this peanut engine down in the engine bay.

Thanks! Nope, I added that. Wanted to spice it up a little bit so bought that badge since it's clean and simple. It's from a Nissan RB26DETT, the R32-R34 GT-R motor.
