Picked this up about 2 months ago, figured I would put some miles on it before I posted.
So far the ST has been great, tons of power and no issues. MPG is better than my old 3.5 duratech. Highway onramps have become a huge joy in my life.
Small quirks I have noticed... The A piler will randomly creek when its cold out. The 10" infotainment screen is sometimes slow and the display when in reverse wastes 1/2 the screen (dumbest design ever). Stock ford wipers where trash and got replaced asap. Blacked out car came with chrome 2 piece lugs.
Due to covid a few items have been removed from the explorer lineup. Massaging seats, 4g hotspot, hands free lift gate. Also noticed the front/rear camera washers where removed but the nozzles are still there (maybe just add some hoses and some Ts?).
Mods so far:
Piaa silicone wipers
Gorilla black lugs
LED rear blinkers
LED reverse lights
UPR duel valve catch can
Being its a turbo GDI engine I am going to hold off on any mods that could void the warranty for now. Currently has 650ish miles, plan to get it changed at 1k just for the hell of it then every 5k/1y after. I do not drive a ton and normally only rack up 5-7k miles a year. As for oil brand I am unsure yet.
