STBEAST

Samurai Edge. So, you are saying that you have no documentation that your 2020 ST has the brake package???? So basically, you have no clue how the Edge ST would perform with this package. Yes, the tires would help. But I would let you know that the brakes also made a major difference. I drove both. Far from apples to apples. The performance brake and tire package was one of the most important upgrades Ford offered to the ST.

All I can say is I drove 2 different ST's before I bought mine. The first one did not have the performance brake and tire package. The second one did. In addition, it had the panoramic sunroof. Night and day on the braking. Could not believe the difference. Only when you have driven an ST with or without the package can you appreciate it. And of course, the one thing we can probably all agree on, sad to see the Edge go away. They finally got it to point where it was an amazing performance SUV. Then they stopped production. 😔

Not true. The ST performance brake and tire package is a big upgrade. And well worth it. I got it on my 2024 ST: 21-inch wheels Sticky Pirelli P Zeros Front and rear vented disc brakes with performance enhanced front rotors Brushless radiator fan helps the engine cooling during extreme acceleration and braking Vented brake shields Colorado Red painted calipers (looks really awesome) Individually not much, but as a total package. Well worth it.

The other thing they discontinued with the ST was the hood insulator blanket. You can order one and install it yourself.

Ford OEM. Can't go wrong

Thanks. With everything being plastic these days, nice to know.

What is the torque spec for the oil filter housing?

Could not agree more with Todd92. So hard on the engine, starter, flywheel ring and battery. The turbocharger takes the biggest hit. Horrible Government Mandated feature!!! I too have managed to figure it in as a reflex when I turn off the parking brake. I noticed on my 8 year premium extended protection plan, the flywheel ring is not covered. That should open eyes to how abusive this feature is. Do not use it!

The dial is kind of weird at first, but once you get used to it, you won't want to go back. I struggled with the same thing.

Also try to Google it. Searching for specific threads/topics on this forum can be a nightmare. I have had much better luck using Google, which will then link you to related thread/post on this forum.

I don't think the Sync version would change. Just glad they were able to remedy it with an OTA update.

You have no idea how much I appreciate this forum and appreciate you. This community is a lifesaver. 💗

I have a 2024 ST and just hit 11000 miles. I am planning on the the PTU and RDU at 15000 just to be safe. I am going to used Redline full synthetic because of all the good reviews it gets. 75W85 GL-5 for the PTU and MT-LV 70/75W GL-4 for the RDU.

Bite the bullet and get OEM. I use my funnel regularly to add a fuel additive (Startron) before every fill up. Of course I have lost a couple of them over the years. But they are the only way to get fuel into the vehicle in an emergency. Trust me, 20 bucks is nothing when you need/depend on it.

Wow that is major for sure! Just curious what type of environment you are driving in. Snow/rain etc. If you are driving in snow, do they salt the roads? I live in southern California and have a 2024 St without about 11,000 miles on it. Hope I don't see any rust/corrosion anytime soon. Yes, shame on Ford for neglecting something that is so important to the life of the vehicle.
