    Ford Performance Tune

    Warranty thats why lol To be fair, it will be a pretty big jump for older Platinum and KR owners. But then again, no one has actually dyno'd those either, for all we know, they probably always made the same power as the ST Pretty positive this tune wont fly in CA. 49 state availability for...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Lets not forget the Platinum and KR owners as well which im sure 90% of em are not in the forums There's a dude on a ton of Explorer ST youtube videos with a church fireman user name or some crap like that. Wonder if it's the same person. He's always arguing with people in the YT comments. I...

    Rolling backward holding brake ?

    I always thought the electronic brake would be disengage automatically once you press the gas pedal?

    You're going to have the fastest best handling 20+ Explorer Platinum, thats for sure.

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    Nor projector housing's either. I believe these are only Platinum exclusive.

    Stock Audio Settings

    I would start with a proper sound deadening on the doors, subwoofer area and a good audio mixer. IMO you would benefit much more from those than changing the speakers.

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    LOL but then you miss out on the adaptive headlights, the leather stitched dashboard and the ugly? two scheme interior color. I hate teh brush chrome on the Platinums, could've gone with something nicer/luxurious like the mesh grill Cadillac's put on higher trims.

    Second row bench

    You can't swap it. The pattern bolts on the bottom frame are different.

    Premium gasoline

    Even then, 87 with Ethanol is better than 93 without ethanol. At least for our SUV's according to Adam.

    What's everyone's drive mode?

    If its coasting to a similar speed 99% of the time, the MPG between Sport, Eco and normal will pretty much be the same. Even on sport mode when cruising, itll go to its 10th gear. Eco usually stays in lower RPMs in higher gears hence the hesitation vs Sport when you go WOT. But the main...

    ST vs. The Competition

    Question for OP though, why did you get rid of the Stinger GT? Currently in the market to possibly add one to my stable. Either that or RDX, odd choices but wife is settled for any of those two lol

    ST vs. The Competition

    +1 Had a BMW 335i running mid 12's with mixed E85 and piggyback tune clocking almost 120k miles. Most I ever spent outside of oil and tires? $1,000 for an oil pan gasket and electric water pump, those went out around 90k miles, past the CPO warranty. Owned it for about 5 years as well. Only...

    Real world mpg

    Same for me, mainly highway driving is spot on to what the computer says. Mainly City driving is off by 2-3 MPG

    Is the interior REALLY that bad??

    Somewhat right, in late 2020/early 2021. The 2020 Explorer's were actually being discounted to the 2021 Explorer's price. So you get all the materials and "extras" on a new 2020 for the price of a 21 missing said items. Both new and fully loaded.

    who has the scoop on the '23 model?

    Its not a knock against the ST and the great price you got it is not the norm nor was it back then either. Im going by standard prices. Someone here got an X5 fully loaded x40i for 64k~, MSRP was 70+. His ST was 60k. Normally X5's with some options are in the 63-64k area around me. My 20...

    who has the scoop on the '23 model?

    Hence opinion. The X5 40i gets better MPG, is faster on a straight line vs the ST and can also tow more. Smaller on the inside with the 3rd row but better fit and finish. So just whatever a person would prefer but wouldnt say the ST is a unique class, there are comparable SUV's The X5 M50i is a...

    who has the scoop on the '23 model?

    In your opinion. The Aviator and optioned out X5 can be had for 3-4k more vs a fully loaded ST, they're also similar in performance just MUCH nicer interior. Of course not everyone wants a luxury car either. So all boils down to what a person wants.

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    Im pretty damn positive the slight higher gearing will net you .1 faster on the 1/4 mile MAYBE .2 on a great day. Made a nice impact on the earlier 5 speed and somewhat on the 6 speed. 10 speed auto's? Not soo much... Will tow nicer around the mountains, thats probably the main advantage over it.

    10.1 Inch Screen Resolution?

    Curious if you can make the screen bigger on Carplay/Android auto, make the reverse screen bigger AND automatically turn the front camera when front sensors turn on. Love this feature on Cadillacs

    10.1 Inch Screen Resolution?

    If you're talking about recording and saving,Teslas have built in storage drives for recording, the Explorer's don't.
