New ST owner!

[ScottyTee]

Sup guys, just got my 2025 Explorer ST about a month ago, no major mods yet but im loving this thing so far. Would love to see some simple builds/add on’s you guys have done to yours. Coming from a 23 Bronco Wildtrak and a Silverado RST…needed a dad mobile Thanks for having me!

Sweet ride and congrats!
If you plan on modding, look at Intercooler, downpipes+exhaust, tune. In that order , preferably all at the same time! That's your basic list for adding another 75HP+ to the wheels.

For handling, subframe lockout spacers, rear swaybar, diff brace.

Enjoy!

Sweet, yeah I don't want to do anything too crazy but another 50-75hp would be nice. Stock these things have some giddyup but I just wish it had a tad bit more. Truthfully I'm content with massaging seats and blue cruise, have a child on the way soon...hard to be upset about a crying baby in the car with that

Love the redesigned front-end and wheels. Congrats and welcome aboard.

Agreed, they've always looked great but the bigger grille and rims really set the 25 apart from other years. First time explorer owner as well, really impressed with how smooth the ST is when you're not getting after it.

Welcome! A tune and intercooler are the two best first mods.

Not sure if this is still true or not but I heard the 25's ecu hasn't been cracked yet and it could be awhile before Ford Performance comes out with a tune. I know there are other companies out there that would probably have a tune out already or sooner but I wanted to stick with Ford product for warranty purposes. Have you heard anything differently? I don't see myself doing a full build on this, the most I'd probably do would be a tune, intake/exhaust, intercooler and lowered.

Welcome! This forum is a wealth of information for many modifications - performance, handling, and aesthetic. There is a lot of advice here.

I, too, am a new owner since FEB 2025. There is a rabbit-hole of mods limited only by time and $$$.
