Since you are answering questions and I am now going to highjack this thread:
1: Why if I put the ST in Eco mode does it not stay in Eco mode when I shut the car off?
2: Why does changing driving modes take so damn long, heck with ADHD sometimes it goes away before I notice it finally changed or popped up to change
1) because eco mode and ST is an oxymoron.
Hi there. Have only had my 2020 Explorer ST for about 12 hours (3rd one, had a 2012 LTD and 2016 Platinum)... Loving my new ST! When I connected to one of the Wi-Fi networks at home from the car using the Settings > Connectivity > Vehicle Wi-Fi, an update begins downloading. I'm wondering what is in this one... And, importantly, the best way to have it complete. Looks to be going slowly and I imagine the car will power down the Accessory Power eventually... Will the update resume?
Can I pull this down another way, perhaps to a USB stick....
Thanks.
It took about 15 minutes or so to upgrade my system from the USB drive. I think OTA updates have just started recently. I believe it is noted that the 20136 update will resume from the point it left off. Unfortunately, the map update will not and reports of it taking up to 90 minutes have been reported. I have that on a USB as well but don't intend to let the vehicle idle for that long and have no extended trips planned.Found what I needed here I think. Went to owner.ford.com ns I see that update is for SYNC 3, latest version. 1.2 Gigabytes. Am downloading that to a formatted with ExFAT USB stick and if it doesn't complete OTA via Wi-Fi supposeI will try it there. I understand there is the addition of Waze and Alexa??
BTW, may be forum admins want to move this to the SYNC 3 Forum- up to you all.
Any advice on this appreciated.
In 2016, there were a few Ford products that received Sync 3 before the Explorer did in 2017. Ford seems to like to phase these things in which may be a good idea if there are problems found in the product.How does the Edge get Sync 4 before the Explorer?? Very disappointing of Ford.

The 12.0-inch infotainment screen with Sync 4 is standard equipment, and there are some other minor changes, too.www.caranddriver.com

The new Exp is only 1MY old. These large scale changes are usually phased in with mid cycle updates new / “new” updated models first.
I think that is exactly what will happen. I am betting the Explorer will receive an infotainment screen update for 2022 that will include Sync 4.
