    Hi Shahdog, I'll package the wheels and tires up for UPS shipping. I just looked up the cost of shipping from Californa to Vancouver and it looks like about $326.78 for all 4. So if that's something you'd like to do, let me know and I can get these shipped for you. If you do want to do this...

    Explorer ST Roof Rack Cross Bars (SOLD)

    These are the original Ford clamp-on crossbars for the 2020 Explorer ST. Perfect condition, easy to install. I used these crossbars to mount my Thule Roof Box to the Explorer ST. I no longer have my ST, so I don't need them. I paid $221.38 new from the dealer. I am selling for $150 plus...

    2020 Explorer ST, winter tire and wheel package for sale.

    Ford bought back my 2020 Explorer ST, so I no longer need this winter tire and wheel package. This set was purchased from Tire Rack on 12/12/19 for winter ski trips to Tahoe. But because my vehicle was in service repair for most of the winter, I only used these for ONE trip. They have about 400...

    Explorer ST Street And Track Packages

    Justin, the FSA just showed up just last weekend in my app. So I think Ford is going through the ST's one-by-one and trying to make good on what we bought. I'm going to be taking my ST into the dealer for the correct brake install. I'll be taking photos before and after for ID purposes.

    Explorer ST Street And Track Packages

    Justin: My ST was supposed to have the Performance Brake Package also, but the dealer didn't install them (and didn't tell me that when I took delivery). How I found out was through the FordPass App. In the App, you'll notice an FSA (Field Service Action) alert that informed me that my vehicle...

    Sync 4 Upgrade for 2020 Explorer

    Dear Ford Software: I've taken the liberty of designing how I think the reverse screen should look to take advantage of the portrait monitor. We should be able to touch any view to have it take over the entire screen. You're welcome!

    Any kill stories yet?

    My story about this subject: I had a 2017 Black Explorer Sport before getting the ST. I live in CA, so in the three years had that Black Sport, I got super frustrated at drivers thinking I was CHP. Countless times I would follow a car that was driving fast, only to have the guy slow way down...

    ST Teething pains

    My ST finally came back from the Dealer and here's the report: They had a local body shop re-paint the rear passenger door. So the paint defect has been corrected. For all other Alerts and issues, they re-programmed: APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) BCM (Body Control Module) TCU...

    Has anyone downloaded any system updates over wifi yet?

    It just checked for an update but didn't actually download one (there isn't one right now). For some perspective: to complete a major update in my last Explorer Sport with Sync 3. I took at least 30 min from a USB drive to install the update. Not to mention the 15 or so minutes to download and...

    Who's been using the Auto Hold feature?

    I tested my ST this weekend at the carwash with Auto Hold engaged. This is what I found: When shifting into neutral with Auto Hold engaged a warning in the main screen and chime sounds that says "Select M to confirm stay in Neutral Mode" If you then push the "M" button then you'll get a caution...

    Auto Stop/Start Sucks. Who's with me??

    Not all stop/start systems are created equal. I found the system in my ST to have two issues. 1) The starting motor is noisy when it starts. It stutters and causes my ST to lurch forward slightly against the brakes when it turns on the vehicle at a red light. The lurch forward can be enough...

    Has anyone downloaded any system updates over wifi yet?

    My previous vehicle, a 2017 Explorer Sport had the same Sync 3 update feature via WiFi. But in the 3 years I had it, I wasn't ever able to perform an update this way. It just kept on spinning and timed out. I even tried it on multiple WiFi networks. It never worked! (I work in the Tech...

    Anyone breaking in their engine for the first 1,000 miles?

    Yes, I did. Other manufacturers like BMW publish details on how to properly break in an engine. I used to have a BMW X5 M, and performed the below method for the break-in period. Here is BMW's recommendation: The right way to break in a new car Many drivers wonder whether breaking in a new car...

    ST Teething pains

    The ST is currently at the dealer's body shop. So I don't have access to it right now, but as soon as I get it back I'll report. I dropped it off a week ago

    Sync 4

    I was able to update my previous Explorer Sport from Sync 2 to 3 via a download to a USB drive. So hopefully we'll get this much-needed update.

    Who's been using the Auto Hold feature?

    Yes! I use this all the time. It's not new in vehicles. I had this feature back in 2007 in a BMW X5 M and I got used to using it then. My personal standard operating procedure is to use it always. Except if I'm stopped and pedestrians are crossing in front of me. Or I'm first inline at a red...
