    Low pressure fuel pump recall.

    I think that's a separate issue in itself. Fairly widespread problem and why I start looking for a gas station once i get below 1/2 a tank.

    Let's see those roof racks and cargo boxes (Thule)!

    I can totally see that. As soon as I don't need the box up top for summer, i plan to take off my crossbars. But yeah, they are the perfect spot for life jackets, lake floats, beach toys, wet towels, etc up in the box. That's what I mostly used mine for.

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

    Unfortunately sounds like they were just checking off a box. I imagine performing the recall allows them to get paid from Ford? If that’s the case, they “performed the recall test” as an excuse to put some $$$ in their pocket regardless of the circumstances didn’t justify it. I’d be livid.

    Fluid Change Conundrum

    Those fluids (other than oil change) are on my list to get done on my '23 at some point between 30-40K miles, along with brake fluid. I'll be DIY however. I'm at 24K so i have a little time.

    2026 Ford Explorer Replaces Vista Roof With Fixed Glass Option

    Actually. Looking through the order sheet from the other thread, while it lists the new fixed glass roof as an option, it doesn't necessarily say the sunroof-equipped vista roof option has been deleted. EXTERIOR  New — Panoramic Fixed Glass Roof with Power Shade (43H) optional on all series ●...

    2026 Order banks open!

    What's interesting is that the order sheet says the Fix glass roof was added new for '26, but doesn't say the vista-style sunroof was deleted. EXTERIOR  New — Panoramic Fixed Glass Roof with Power Shade (43H) optional on all series ● Changed — None ● Deleted — None I don't see any new...

    Let's see those roof racks and cargo boxes (Thule)!

    Trip done. I ended up overloading the box slightly. Box and bars were ~55lbs. I think i loaded to around 100 pounds, so 25 pounds over the limit. TBH I didn't really notice it. Vehicle was stable. I took some sweeping turns and it stayed relatively flat. Now, i didn't perform any...

    CLOSED: 2025 Ford ST-Line - Inspection Problem?

    If it's anything like my state inspection they connect the machine into the OBD2 port which looks for Powertrain DTC's and checks to see if the emissions monitors are complete. That's why i asked if a standard OBD2 code reader would connect as many have a "state OBD check" function that will...

    CLOSED: 2025 Ford ST-Line - Inspection Problem?

    Can you hook a standard OBD2 reader to it?

    2026 Order banks open!

    No more 3.0L on the platinum? That's an interesting decision there. So essentially Ford killed off the Limited trim level by creating an available 2.3L Platinum trim, and then just killed off the 3.0 Plat? Also one of the articles i read mentioned different available wheels. Interested to...

    2026 Ford Explorer Replaces Vista Roof With Fixed Glass Option

    Honestly, given the amount of sunroof leaks and/or wind noise complaints, it's probably a good decision. I'd bet they were getting a ton of (extended) warranty claims on sunroof leak issues and someone ran it up the flagpole to see if they could make this change. I actually think it's a good...

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

    That's disappointing, but not entirely unheard of. I've had similar experiences with other brand vehicles. I hate to say it, but I echo my statement in post #13.

    P0128 Thermostat Stuck Open

    Figured as much. Im still under warranty, but I might tackle this myself vs deal with dealer and not having the vehicle for a few days

    P0128 Thermostat Stuck Open

    did you ever solve this? Same issue. P0128 was pending and stupid me cleared the code by mistake. Now waiting for it to come back but seeing temps in the 172-176 range on a 90 degree humid day. Seems a little too cool. In my mind it should be 190-200 degrees. Coolant level fine.

    2026 Ford Explorer Tremor

    well that’s an interesting move. I wonder the reasoning behind that? Looks like ‘26 ST gets bench seat and additional wheel options? Curious to see what those are

    2026 Ford Explorer Tremor

    I kinda agree. At least when the ST debuted for the '20 model year, Ford detuned the Platinum slightly so there was a performance incentive to get the ST in the explorer lineup Now you can get a 3.0tt in several different trims of explorer and aviator at 400HP, as well as in the Bronco and...

    Let's see those roof racks and cargo boxes (Thule)!

    I ended up doing exactly that yesterday. I moved the rear crossbar back and slide the box back a bit to where it looks a bit more balanced.

    Yup. I had that same reaction when i first heard of it.

    2026 Ford Explorer Tremor

    But they already do. Maverick LOBO is already on the Ford Website for US market and F150 is coming in the fall according to all the articles that dropped in the last week.
