I'm glad I'm able to find good info on here. I'm new to the platform and definitely learning alot from you guys. Thanks for the good info and being patient with the new guys, like me! LoL
FYI - My Explorer requires a little more than just putting it in gear. Also experienced the brakes locked up after driving in snow and then parking in 10degree temps overnight. The parking brake wouldnt release (truly frozen). An AWD Explorer in the Northern states (or where the temps often get below 20degrees) should have an option to turn off the auto parking brake.

If after putting it in Park, can you use E-brake button to release the brake before turning the engine off? I do not have that “feature” since I have never had the recall “fix” done.

It only takes a light tap of the accelerator has nothing to do with idle speed at all on mine. There's barely a blip on the tach when I release mine. Something sounds wrong.
I dont drive the ST very much, but it has become a very quick and painless habit.
Soon as I start the engine, foot still on the brake, click the park brake off. No big deal.
