Adaptive Headlights question

[iptaylm]

Do the 2026 ST's have them or were these also removed by Ford?

Man what a bummer a nice feature I liked with my 2020 platinum. Going with a 2026 ST to keep the bigger engine. No idea why they removed v6 from plat line.

No STs ever came with them. Only Platinums.

Ok, guess I'll survive.

I'm not sure if this feature is actually labeled as "adaptive headlamps" but our 2026 ST has a feature same as my 24 Ranger Raptor. If the fog lamps are NOT on while driving at night... when turning, the appropriate fog lamp will activate and light the area into the area being turned. Example... when turning left, the left fog lamp shines into the curve. Same if turning right. If the fog lamps are already activated, it won't matter as the area being lit is already significantly wider on both sides. When we purchased the vehicle the salesman said the Explorer ST was not enabled with that feature, but I noticed it the first time I drove it at night.

That’s can actually be enabled/disabled via Forscan, even for the ‘20-24s. I think it’s called “cornering lighting” or something like that.

The Platnium Adaptive headlights themselves actually move to adjust based on road conditions
