AWD module needs to be grounded, there was a recall on it.

A 20x10.5 in. wheel with +30-+35 offset is the best wrapped in a 295/45r20.

Just an FYI, most people are able to get a lot more off sticker then X-plan, most are able to get the dealers down to $58k OTD.

Like I said so many different variables, it’s operating perfectly fine most Likely.

No 2 custom tunes.

Active Assist 2.0 is still on the 2025s.

That’s not correct, Co-Pilot360 is Fords safety driver assist and is still on the new cars. Bluecruise didn’t replace it and is only the semi-autonomous driver assist.

It takes a lot for the system to do its job. If you do anything, let off the gas, slight braking, turn a little, the system thinks you’re handling it and doesn’t do anything unless a crash is imminent. I think you’re just a tad too worried about it, like I said it takes a lot for the system to...

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.

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/
