    Rust proofing and undercoating

    Seen this question in one of the FB groups for ST. It seems another feature was deleted from 2025s, as many others confirmed as well.

    2020 ST Flashing Hazards or Alarm going off after locking

    Check if this was ever done to your 2020: TSB# SSM 49914. Summary Some 2015-2021 Edge, 2016-2018 MKX, 2019-2021 Nautilus, 2018-2021 Expedition/Navigator, and 2020-2021 Escape/Corsair/Explorer/Aviator vehicles may exhibit an inoperative power liftgate. This may be due to the rear gate trunk...

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    Unfortunately, I will be returning mine. Disabling BT to the vehicle fixed the connection issue; however, I get a lot of delay with Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Music. Delays can be anywhere from 2-3 seconds up to 10 seconds. I tried relocating the phone closer to the dongle with no change in...

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    Got it yesterday from Amazon, initially worked well in the quick test. But after two drives, ran into pretty bad lag. Another issue I encountered is I had to unplug it and plug it back in when getting into the car. It doesn’t automatically connect to my phone. Maybe there’s a timing issue (when...

    Thanks, I ordered one for the heck of it. Lets hope it works out for me!

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    Check the readme file or the file with the instructions; it's a similar process to when you do an update for the fullscreen mod. You just have to set some flags in one of the config files, and you have to copy your original backup files or re-use the same stick and just change the flags in the...

    Fullscreen Android Auto/CarPlay Mod Is Here for Sync3 10P Screen!! [FMods Team 10 Pees]

    I'm tempted. Any feedback on battery usage? My friend let me borrow an old dongle he purchased a few years ago and it worked fine. But, I noticed it went through my battery rather quickly and I was going to have to plug it in to charge it.

    Fault messages

    You either have to get it scanned (Auto parts store do it for free, or buy an OB2 dongle + app) or take it to the dealer. Those lights can come on for a few reasons.

    Anyone had this issue?

    Get it scanned for free at any parts store that does it or get a OB2 dongle from Amazon and scan it yourself. Is it reaching temp like it normally would? Could be a sticky thermostat or low coolant...

    Knocking out a pile of stuff this week.

    Good to know, my 2022 is Oct or Nov build. I had the seal replaced on my 2020 under warranty, because it was leaking.

    Charging system or battery?

    Hang around the forums/FB groups and you'll notice the battery on these vehicles are good for 4-5 years before they die and leave you stranded or with electrical glitches. I have had bad batteries cause symptoms of a bad alternator, or no jump/charge in the world gets them to come back to life.

    Why Didn't I Get An "ST" Logo Fab? A 2025 Letter to FORD CEO

    We have owned a 2020 ST and now a 2022 ST. From all the cuts Ford has taken, 2022 will most likely be the last exST. Unfortunately, our 2022 is a late build, and when Ford started to remove features. I miss my 2020 ST with all the small extra features and better build quality, but do not miss...

    Towing with my 2020

    Confirm your numbers at a weight station and drive carefully. Sales people will tell you "ya you can tow that with this", when on paper it can, but the real world says otherwise. There's a picture of a newer Tahoe going around this weekend, where the traveling trailer flipped. Sometimes you...

    My problem with front tinted windows...

    I don't pay attention to the driver, I pay attention to the vehicle. Having been involved in a couple of accidents (not at fault) and over a dozen close calls, I always drive defensively. I try to predict the vehicle's next move and always put myself in a situation where I can easily escape any...

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

    ^THIS Time to cut your losses and move on. Or take it to the next closest dealer and explain the whole situation to them, so they understand what they are walking into. It sucks to unload it to someone else and have it be their problem.. but, hopefully they do their due diligence and see this...

    Illinois- Northern Suburbs -Lowering Springs Shop?

    I see you are in Sycamore, which is not too far from me. I am in Pingree Grove. I made the trip all the way there, and they were worth it! It is nice having a shop that deals with Explorer STs.

    Illinois- Northern Suburbs -Lowering Springs Shop?

    P&L Motorsport can take care of you. They have done multiple STs in the Chicagoland area. They installed my exhaust in the fall and hopefully one day will return for springs/alignment.
