Great Forum Guys! Congratulations!
I finally took possession of my star white 2020 Explorer ST (Last week). Actually the first one to reach the island.
It was ordered in September but for some reason it was built in April. Serial 00285! Strange! Seems it was one of the first ST built and held there for some fixes for a while.
Anyway, I like to share my first impressions and comments:
Impressive performance, handling and looks! Overall I'm happy and will be patient with some of the problems to be expected from these early production models.
Quality issues found (some already mentioned in other posts):
1- Sunglasses storage console - Not closing properly. (Dealer ordered a new one)
2- Rear bumper loose at the bottom. It seems a part is missing to hold it in place. (Dealer ordering one too) (P# 7811782)
3- After problems indexing USB music, dealer upgraded to Sync Build 19274. So far so good!
4- Bubbles in the dash "Carbon Fiber" Trim. (Dealer ordered a new one)
5- Seats outer skin not holding in place. Clips keep falling off! (Dealer investigating)
Disappointments:
1- No reverse tilt on side mirrors
2- No wireless Car Play
3- Sloppy paint job in engine bay! They even over spray engine components! (not really important but it is supposed to be a top line model!)
4- Finally, the ugly cheap noise from the transfer case most times you open the driver's door.
Good luck for the ones still waiting and happy driving!
