The seating's heating of my ST is excessive, both on the driver and passenger sides, regardless of the setting.  Even at lowest, after a several minutes it becomes unbearable. Anyone else has the same problem?   

Engine auto off stooped working. Any ideas why? BTW, everything is enabled.

Mine was built in mid Aug. After applying the trans fix more than a month ago, in the first couple of days I had two harsh switching from R to D (much weaker than before the fix). Since then the trans is flawless. Altogether, I'm happy with this fix. For now...😁

I already contacted McGard and will post the reply when it arrives. 

It is strange though, that there is no specification on the max torque posted on McGard website.

Just an update: No reply from McGard so far.

Hate to say this but while taking my kid out last night it clunked a couple times. Maybe it's learning and it is way better in every way but don't be surprised if it still happens on occasion.

Same here. Maybe not that strong as before, but still there ☹️

Hi guys,

Anyone uses McGard Wheel Locks?  A technician in the tire shop said these should not be torqued to Ford-recommended 160 lb.ft because the key may brake.

Anyone has knowledge about Mcgard max torque specs? Any experience?

Thanks and happy driving

21" is 55mm

20" is 52.5mm

Thank you!

Hi guys,

Someone knows the offset of the OEM 20" and 21" of 2019 ST?  Googling produced 52.5mm for the 20", and that seems to me too high.

(Also posted this question in ST Nation / Wheels and Tires)

Thank you omar302.  I believe it is  F2GZ-1A189-A - 315 MHz.  I did some search on my own and read somewhere that the 433 MHz model F2GZ-1A189-F has been discontinued.  I am wondering now as there the frequency is set,  is there is a need for some programming of the sensors / vehicle?  And if there is, then what happens in the spring when I switch back to the all-season set?

Cheers! 

Hi, someone knows the OEM TPMS sensors part number and where to buy those in US or Canada?

Thanks and happy driving 😀 

Recently we made close to 4,000 km trip Vancouver BC - Yellowstone and back with a lot of driving in the park. The board computer averaged 8.5 L/100km.  When we started the odometer was showing about 500 km.  Gas was always Costco premium and I was always driving with the max allowed speed.

I suspect that's by design to protect us from ourselves.    At least with a locked in code those who forget their 'personal' pin can reset and start over.  If our personal pin replaced the OEM code and we forgot it (because humans do stupid things) we'd be hosed.
 

Liked that! 😃

Time to  get a winter wheel/tire set.  Will 19" fit? Any advice will be appreciated.

For me it works when programmed from the door keypad, but does not work when programmed through Sync 3. Will ask the dealer to look at the issue.

Someone tried to program a personal entry code through Sync 3 (from the touch screen, not from the keypad)?  Does not work in my ST.  The feature is present in settings, will accept a new code, but then the code does not work. 🤔 

Did you painted the exhaust tips black, or they came out of the factory like this? If you painted them, what paint did you use ? 

I agree with all your observations.  About the exhaust tips: Maybe you may find these more acceptable if they were black,  somewhere in the ST forum I saw pictures of such.     

Is it only my imagination or there is a weak back-illumination of the central console buttons cluster even at day light? The letters' visibility is much better compare to my 2016 Sport in which they were not readable at all at some day-lightning conditions.

I noticed the same thing when reading info released on the ST. Felt like they ignored that the Sport ever existed and did not state what exact improvements where made compared to the Sport. Thanks for the feedback. Also, did you have the 21" or 20" wheels on the Sport?

On the Sport I had 21".

Congratulations on the new ST. Tell us more on the 2016 Sport vs 2019 ST differences please.

There is nothing much more I can say now on ST vs Sport. Maybe in a week or two or after a longer drive out town.  One thing that may sound strange, knowing that the coil stiffness had been increased,(front by 10% and rear by 20%), is that ST seems more agreeable to small bumps compare to Sport. I am driving the same streets as the last three years and ST is definitely more enjoyable. I am not sure that the stiffness increase I red about was relative to the Sport model and not the the regular Edge, never saw this directly claimed. So maybe the whole new suspension  redesign and tuning plays some role here .      

Today picked my Edge ST: Magnetic, 20", 401A. Before it drove 2013 Limited and 2016 Sport, both with 401A . Here are my first impressions: It looks like Sport, but it is different animal. Smoother and quieter. The seats are probably the best I have ever been into. The balance between performance, convenience and enjoyment of driving is excellent.  And frankly, I don't care some saying that it "does not deserve the ST badge".  If Ford say it does, so be it.  And I believe that the next iteration will be even better.

Let it go bud. It's a forum about cars. Things always go for shit when the conversation gets political. We joined the rest of the world and went metric, we eat french fries. They eat freedom fries etc.

Yes, you are correct! 🤐

Sorry for the political rant- the patriotic talk gets me going!

With all due respect to your patriotic feelings, I still fail to understand how are they related to the measurement system in use.
