    Pirelli tires

    Love the Weatheractive. Almost 3 weeks with them and already did some exploring with them lol They did amazing in small roads by the mountains, some trail roads and heavy rain. Grip, handling and braking were great and felt much better than the stock's. Not as noisy either IMO. For being...

    Expected discount off of 2023s?

    LOL Add on. Dealers like those should be avoided at all costs

    Stock platinum tune to ST tune

    Im curious, has anyone actually dyno tested the Platinum or actually seen the stock tune to be different vs the ST? Just seems a lil fishy on Ford's part to make two totally different tunes only for it to revert to the same tune in 2022 for all three trims.

    Ford Performance Tune

    ST's power numbers are based on 91+ octane. If you're putting anything lower than 91, you're loosing as much as a 30~ hp and are NOT making the adv. 400 hp

    Ford Performance Tune

    @Bugasu posted that info, he works for HPTuners i believe and actually browsed the tune itself. So just going by his findings Also, there is a TSB update for the 20/21 trans, I believe mine received it going by the docs from my dealer regarding the harsh shifting. So far its been better. I had...

    Ford Performance Tune

    Couple of misinformation here regarding the transmission with the Ford tune. There is technically a trans tune with the Ford tune BUT its not an actual drag trans tune. It's a calibration change that comes with the new Explorer's. So pretty much, if you have an older 2020 or 2021 Explorer with...

    New owner of 2020 ST. Ext warranty VS mods (info in post)

    Yes, its still considered an early build, C builds are pretty much the "ironed out" builds. Regardless, if warranty/recalls fixed already the issues, dont think you would have anything big outside of the norm. If you cant afford to pay for the damage without warranty when you mod, then dont do...

    Pirelli tires

    Have almost 38k on mine, going to replace them this Saturday with another Pirelli set, didnt have any issues either. Went with the Weather Active tires, read that they are one of the best all around and fit perfect with the 21's.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Some dealers dont really care for the tune's until they do... Fact is, it SHOULD be denied as it is past 3/36 including the original powertrain. If anything catastrophic was to happened to the engine, Ford is going to be billed for the engine and they will do whatever they can do deny it and I...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Weird thing, they used to charge for the bench seat add on for 2020/21 Explorer's then they dropped it altogether and made it a free change when ordering for the later models. If anything it should make them money making it another add on considering its still being offered on previous models...

    Did the Lincoln screen swap

    Do all the features/menu's work like they do on the ST? i.e interior color lights, massage seats, a/c controls front and rear, etc Wonder if any future Sync updates will break the settings or the screen set up. Pretty damn awesome though, might order one for myself as well

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    7 seats are not offered for any 3.0l Explorers in USA for some reason. Gotta love that *sarcasm*

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    You are correct, new maps always cost money but it was a one time fee for every update and if you didnt upgrade, the product still worked with the older map. Its clearly not the case here. Im perfectly familiar with development with software....... i actually develop fileserver systems and work...

    Thinking about an explorer ST

    Interesting, i didnt think that was possible. Did someone post about it in this forum? OP, you can also wait for the newer 2025 Explorer's with the refreshed interior. Should be hitting the lots later this year in Q2/Q3

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Not sure what you mean? I never stated Ford did this, I stated that I would not be surprised if they did...... The BMW part was actually true, they were in the process of charging for the use of the heated seats that were already part of the car...... What does Android have to do with Blue...

    New Pirelli tire

    Any traction issues with your setup on dry roads? Great to hear I made a great choice. Tire rack has these over the Michelin's AS4's as well in every category

    New Pirelli tire

    Just order these myself as well. Am in SoCal, so mainly dry roads but do go up the mountains from time to time in the cold/snow weather. Had no issues with the original Scorpions aside from road noise and recent vibrations but they're almost done, going almost 40k with them, so pretty happy...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    The 20 Platinum came with paddle shifters, later one's didn't. Far as suspension changes on different drive modes, i dont believe thats the case for any Explorer including the ST. Far as I know, none of the Explorer's come with an adaption suspension option so its impossible to do that. Sports...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Not the point, at this point its becoming DLC. Reminds me of BMW when they were in the process of charging yearly? for heated seats. If the item is already in the car and build with it, I dont see any reason of paying more on top of the car. Just dont put it to the car to begin with, most...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    There will be ways around it, Dodge has their PCM encrypted to make it harder for tunes, still do-able. Worst case scenario, will need to swap out PCM for an unlocked one to tune it I remember reading Cadillac I believe? Can set the ECU back to stock with OTA update on certain models. Wouldnt...
