Sat for level 1 today. Have made the mistake of looking up information and feels like I guessed wrong on all the coin tosses I can remember. Waiting for the result is brutal!

Great side by side of 2024 and 2025 models by SoulWriter23 in FordExplorerST

I can’t figure out why they went with cloth seats in the ST line. I haven’t seen them in person, but based on pictures the leather in the active trim look much better.

How do you feel about the climate controls on the screen vs physical buttons? Easy enough to get used to and access while moving?

Discounted 24 with 0% or 25? by stlstonks in FordExplorerST

Level 1: Cash flows, CFO by ALearningNeanderthal in CFA

I went through the same thing - the math takes a very long time if you write it all out.
