Sorry, we were trying to find an ST but they have quite the premium over the Platinum.

I do have a 2015 Focus ST as my dd though!

And a 95 F250/460, and a 600 some odd HP 2001 Ranger with an explorer 5.0, a turbo, and e85.

Anyways, picked it up for $30k with 59k miles.

Looks to have been babied, minimal repairs over its life to date.

I have the correct 2/4 bolt rear cradle, 12/20 build date.

Lots of odd and interesting items in this thing. I truly don't understand some of the decisions made when they started throwing parts at the explorer lineup.

My #1 pet peeve so far is the 2 little lights up by the map lights, those NEED to go away. I don't want lights on in the cabin at night. I haven't figured that out yet.

Another thing I'd love to figure out is how to turn off the stability control how the ST works, press the button for traction control on/off, press and hold for stability control/advancetrac. Apparently only possible on the ST. There's got to be something that can be changed via Forscan or something to enable that function, it's all just 1's and 0's. I enjoy doing stupid stuff in snow and sometimes off-road (probably not off-road in this thing though) but the stability control always gets in the way. I really wish Ford would stop being so crappy about this.

I'm in SE WI.

I believe someone makes plugs to shut out the lights up there. Welcome!
