    2025 Oil Capacity

    I am fortunate to have lots of toys and I am part of another ATV forum. Our ATV's hold 2-quarts of oil. It is NOT UNCOMMON for many on the forum to run up to 1/2 a quart more in their ATV's. Now that is some perspective and you are worried about 1/2 a quart too much in a 6 - 6 1/2 quart...

    2025 Oil Capacity

    Right.. That's what I like to do, start out below the stated capacity when I change the oil.. (Sarcasm)

    Exhaust dirtiness expectations

    JMO, looks like an oil and/or unburned fuel issue to me.. I don't believe I've ever had crust like that on the exhaust tips of any vehicle I've ever owned regarless of mileage.

    Interior Ambient Light Strips?

    I had the lower tech. package on my 22' that didn't include the ambient lighting. I think I had package 401A vs 401B or something to that effect. The higher package included ambient lighting. the 25' s have everything and there was no lower package to get (at lease early in the ordering process...

    Interior Ambient Light Strips?

    I dont know about adding lighted strips to the trim areas of the dash like in the pic. but when I had my 22' ST I added the ambient lighting kit shown below from Amazon. One light mounter under each of the front seats, at the back, to light up the passenger floors. Each of the other (2) lights...

    Front Brake Pad Removal.

    Adhesive pad on the back??? you mean the anti-rattle pad that is a part of the pad assembly. That is completely irrelevant to removing the pads. Also, you don't need to remove the pads and rotors to simply check them. Just pull the rims and look at them. The calipers come off pretty much just...

    How to avoid the brittle valve recall test?

    If it were mine, I wouldn't have those monkeys touch it unless the engine grenades from the valves with normal driving. I'm 100% with you on not having them intentionally abuse your engine. A recall isn't mandatory and no one can make you do it. I STRONGLY suggest you tell them to not do the...

    2020 ST Transmission being fully rebuilt

    Lots of vehicles, dealers are saying there are not trans. rebuild kits for them and that you need a new trans . I'm a little shocked yours is rebuildable yet there should be no reason they shouldn't be.

    81 days at dealer for our 21 ExpST... Well crap, it needs to go back.

    WHAT IN THE F@CK.. So they just abused the F@CK out of your new motor :mad::mad::mad:

    2025 Explorer Ford Digital Experience Towing Application and Trailer Height

    Good question. I get the same message all the time towing with my 25' ST. I just ignore the message but if there is a way to fix the issue, I would like to know as well.

    2026 Order banks open!

    Glad I ordered and received an early 25' ST before the old Ford delete button went into overdrive..

    2026 Order banks open!

    So side window shades are back? ST key Fob is back? Power Steering column adjust is back? etc., etc.. These and more were deleted mid through the 25's. Is everything back for 26'??

    2026 Ford Explorer Tremor

    I said anything could (and apparently has) happened! I'm no longer a part of that project but its still Spanish! Lots of people in the U.S. will think LOBO is something brand new for Ford not knowing its been around for a long time.

    2026 Ford Explorer Tremor

    So, what do I know.. LOBO means Wolf in Spanish. I was only the Senior Program Manager for the OEM Ford F150 AND LOBO Badging program for the 2021+ F150. It would be strange for Ford to bring a LOBO to U.S. while keeping that name. But again, what do I know, anything could happen!

    LOBO is made for the Spanish market so you won't see a LOBO here.

    2026 Ford Explorer Tremor

    I have wanted to add tow hooks to my 25' ST since I bought it. I would be interested to see if the lower front facia insert and the tow hooks that go through it, would be transferable over to a 25" ST. Paint the lower inset black and either make the tow hooks black or paint them the body color...

    New 2025 Ford Explorer ST

    To each is their own and I don't have any issue how you or anyone else changes their oil. But, you are also adding LOTS of drama and exagerations to the underside oil change process from your post. I don't know what a clipped oil plug is, it takes no tools at all to remove or reinstall the drain...

    New 2025 Ford Explorer ST

    Just realized I typed brain plug instead of drain plug :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:. I fixed it!!

    New 2025 Ford Explorer ST

    I've never done an oil extraction. For me, I never saw a need to do it that way. Anyway, I'd be curious to pull the drain plug after an extraction to see how much oil comes out to see if the extraction method gets as much out as just pulling the drain plug.
