    Drink Can Froze and Broke Open

    As indicated by the title, after grocery shopping one day, a drink can had rolled under the front passenger seat and went unnoticed by me for a number of weeks, despite the "fruity scent" I kept noticing. I had no idea what it could have been and never even thought to check under the seat. The...

    Cluster Display - Sport Mode colors all the time?

    If you want, you can always get the screen replaced. There's been a number of us on here that have had it done. A replaced screen seems to have fixed the flickering issue for anyone who has had it done, including myself. I've had my replacement screen in the car for 6 months now, no...

    2021 Explorer ST Gauge Screen Flicker

    Glad to see you're also getting yours replaced. I haven't been on here much and didn't see your last post asking which dealer I went to. My replacement screen has been in the car for 6 months now through hot, warm and cold weather; no flickering.

    2021 Explorer ST Gauge Screen Flicker

    I think it may be such a random thing that is isolated to only certain modules/screens that it may be impossible to narrow it down enough to start production on a revised part. If you go to the dealer, you should have no problem getting them to replace it for you. If they question it, try and...

    I have owned my 2021 Explorer ST for exactly 24 hours!

    Mine is the same. It seems to be low quality compared to most other cars I've driven. I've gotten used to it though. Visibility out the windows/mirrors is decent enough.

    Forscan

    There was another member who tried this and I don't believe has succeeded yet. Your best bet is to try and disable the white DRL strip, get the front turn signal to stay illuminated, and run a relay to act as a circuit interrupter to flash the front signal when your turn signal is activated. I...

    Rear Ended

    This happened back in June, I figured I'd post the dashcam video and photos so you can see how our ST holds up with a minor rear end collision. It's as expected, honestly. Nothing special. The trailer hitch took most of the hit so there was minor damage to the rest of the vehicle. 0% fault on...

    18 inch wheels

    Following for replies as well. I'd like to go down to 18" with some aggressive winter tires, hopefully without them getting too loud on dry pavement though.

    Forscan

    As long as you don't edit the modules that say (AS BUILT format) then you'll be taken to the EasyConfig menu where you can simply read, select, save and done. Each module (or at least most of them) have one labelled (AS BUILT format) and one without a label. Editing either of them will achieve...

    Forscan

    I did most of what was mentioned here, but I'll list what I did. No spread sheet was necessary. Everything I did was in the EasyConfig window. It's as simple and click, select and save. - Disabled Parking Lights with DRL (This one was a bit unusual. I believe all 2020 Explorer's as well as most...

    Perellli tire rotation

    Buy a tool like this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07ZH2VWKD That one is Ford and GM because I have both, and use it for my Chevy and Explorer. Cheap device, but works great. You can either purchase that exact one, or buy one that works on just Ford. There are other tools like it out...

    Replacing BU & Rear Turn Signal lights -> LED

    If anything, it will pop up a "behind the scenes" code that you won't see anywhere on the dash, only on a computer program when it thinks the reverse lights are out. If a dealer saw it, they'd check the bulb and realize it's LED and just ignore it. It won't affect anything else. If you're...

    Best Tire Cleaner

    I just use water and a micro fiber cloth and scrub the tires firmly. They obviously don't shine or have a very deep black appearance to them, but they certainly aren't brown either. I never use tire shine for that purpose, once you stop, your tires are brown within days. I like the natural tire...

    Should i trade 2020 ST for 2021 ST?

    There's been a few people posting issues with their 2021's, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of critical issues. I personally haven't had anything critical go wrong with mine. The only thing I've had warranty replaced so far is the digital gauge cluster screen. It was flickering...

    Quick Jack Portable Hydraulic Lift

    Has anyone used any type of hydraulic lifts like the one featured in this video? I've never been a fan of standard lift jacks to lift one corner of the vehicle at a time. I find they always warp and damage the pinch welds. I'd be using something like this at least 2 times a year to swap to...

    2021 Explorer ST Gauge Screen Flicker

    1 week update: Still no flickering. It's been a mixture of warm and hot days with plenty of sunlight. I think we're in the clear... What is unclear though is if the part they put in my car is a revised part, therefore with a new part number, or if it's a unrevised part. It could just be that...

    Third Row Seating Folding Issue

    I find that both mine will begin to fold, but the right side head rest won't fold all the way in, but rather gets stuck half way, which results in the right seat coming back up after getting blocked from folding. Not a big deal for me, honestly. I leave the headrests down anyway for better...

    2021 Explorer ST Gauge Screen Flicker

    UPDATE: Car was in today and had the screen replaced. It was sitting in the sun for a few hours before I picked it up and no flickering, but it's too early to be sure if it's 100% fixed. I'll update again in a week. Below I've attached the service documents with the dealer comments if anyone...

    Transmission issues update

    I think what I'm experiencing may just be a characteristic of this 10 speed auto. It's more of a brief hesitation in comparison to what everyone here is describing. It doesn't hesitate if I am very light on the throttle from a stop, or if I am very hard on the throttle from a stop, but rather if...

    Transmission issues update

    What did it feel like when this first started showing symptoms? I'll notice from time to time mine hesitates and bucks lightly when starting from a complete stop. I'm coming from a vehicle that exhibits this behavior as a normal condition, it's just how the transmission works, so to me, having...
