2025 Explorer ST Gets Its First Mods!

[@FordEnthusiast413]

This SUV is amazing and you just took it a step further!

[@HoStev]

thanks for showing the multiple runs for the 1/4. You should have done back to back with the stock intercooler and see if you had any heat soak and slower times. New intercooler would fix that, get you much more reliable performance

[@JesseAndMike]

Cool!

[@marcusmoreno86]

Bought one in September and not disappointed with the overall driving and comfort. The only problem is they had an imperfection with a fender and wasn't satisfied with the repair and will take it back for further repairs but nothing mechanical so far and drives better than our bmw

Were the seats uncomfortable? Ford has the option to upgrade them. I rented a 4 cyl Explorer and the seats were stiff, seat cushions were short providing less leg support. Imo the interior is a bit cheap with all the plastic in a $60k SUV.

Stock is fine,lock ECU is the key .

Seems the intercooler does not make it faster without a high performance computer tune.

[@marcusmoreno86]

It drives better than our bmw. That's not the issue

[@georgiafan6618]

I was thinking same thing. Needs a good tune.

Hello, So as far as the PSI goes should we increase the PSI for doing launches? side of the driver door says "33PSI" but mine was also given to me with 44/45 PSI from ford

[@steedaautosports]

For launches it's a balance between traction and rolling resistance. You can inflate them, but you are losing some of the contact patch on the road. We'd recommend you keep them at that 33PSI as that is what is recommended from the tire manufacturer. We just set it back to 45 as that was our starting PSI when we tested it stock.

[@99SVTBolt]

It comes from the factory with 45psi in the tires because it’s to prevent flat spots from sitting around the lot for a extended period of time.

Oh okay i didnt know! appreciate the help thanks!

Very sad "no big explorer in Europe any more" noises from over here.. I love these cars!

[@J3FFBezos]

Same. This new European “Explorer”, I mean it’s not a bad car but it’s just not an Explorer and I get triggered when I see anyone (including Ford EU) call it that. It’s just a Fordified Volkswagen. We need this 2025 big explorer (& the Hybrid version) as option again & the current EU Explorer should remain available but renamed

[@SoundBoy808]

@@J3FFBezos They could rename it Capri for example! ... Oh no, they already did that as well......

[@scottkovacs585]

Any word on whipple or anyone else working on a plug and play tuner?

[@steedaautosports]

Nothing quite yet, but it's probably in the works. We've been waiting on SCT to have a tune for the 2025s. We'll be sure to test it out when it is available!

[@georgiafan6618]

@@steedaautosports You could install the whipple tune and test it for a side by side comparo to the SCT tune.

[@rarelibra]

How about put "ST" on it instead of "Steeda". All that is, is advertising. ugh.
