High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

[Gadgtfreek]

My 2020 ST with 115k miles is officially a total loss. rear ended which also pushed me into the car ahead. I'll be looking into getting a 2026 ST soon...

That sucks. Happened with my 2019 Edge ST. But I do love this 2025 Explorer.

Welcome Aboard!
Just a couple questions:
__With that much mileage, how often have you serviced it.
__Any service issues that highlighted any problem spots (brakes, filters, etc)
__Any issues with the Pirellis

Those are not "high mileage". Just passed 126k.

Just crossed 89,000 trouble free miles on my 2021 this morning.

Oil changes every 5-6 thousand miles with Castrol Edge and Motorcraft oil filter.

All other maintenance per the recommended schedule.

My only out of pocket repair expense was replacing the rear shocks at ~75,000 miles.

The interior and exterior of the vehicle are holding up very well and look like new.

Just traded in the '22ST, 117 thousand miles. The only issue was running it out of fuel at idle with a quarter tank, and a cracked cat for the past 57k. Dealer ignored my pleas while under warranty, then said it would cost nearly 4k. Did not buy the new ST from said dealer.

Why would they not want the business? Anymore to the story?

Have you replaced peaks pads yet?

When did you replace brake pads or have you ever?

I must be getting old because I don't remember when last one was probably at 95k, but yes I have lol.

Awesome!

How long have you been on the tune, and how often do you run sport mode?

Been on the tune since like 80k miles. I'm in NE Ohio, sport mode in summer majority of time; rarely in the winter months.

 

[Gadgtfreek]

Thanks. I really like sport mode, but it has its drawbacks. 75% of my back and forth only needs normal, but in the afternoons, I am leaning toward sport while in traffic. It just behaves faster, moving in and out of cars. I also find that if I let it fully warm up, the odd shift habits tend to go away, mostly.

130,500 now.
