Powered by a 3.0L turbocharged engine, the Explorer ST is a great balance of performance and style. It pushes out an impressive 400 horsepower, can tow up to 5,600 lbs and has the option for a tablet style media screen! While the screen is still on Ford's Sync3 system, it still offers support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Whether you need a 6 or 7 seat configuration, the Explorer ST has anchors and tethers for car seats, flat folding 2nd and 3rd row seats and so much more! In this video you're going to learn everything you need to know about the Ford Explorer ST - from interior and exterior style to available and optional technology.

I just got a loaded one, with the optional bench seat on 2nd row which I think is more practical if you want to use all the cargo space and still have a 5 seater. I love it! Not sure how useful the headrest displays are for second row passengers but hey at least it's loaded.

I have the 2021 fully loaded and wish I had the 2nd row bench seat. Needed AWD bc of freak snow/ice a few years ago(Hasn’t happened since then 🙄). I love the look, feel when driving, but I really miss the room my 2020 expedition had with 2nd & 3rd row bench seats that sat 3 people in each. Especially with 4 foster sons. Having one in 5 point booster and another in back/front facing makes room tight getting in/out. Now we are dealing till we can trade in for an expedition with 4wd.

@CarsWithSteve 10 месяцев назад

The Expedition is great for bigger families. If you really need the bench you might be able to find one from an Explorer that has been written off. Might be worth a search at some local yards!

@Mark-hu9tf 6 месяцев назад

I have the Sport and love it. It's rare to find a sporty SUV these days that you look forward to driving. Looks like the ST will be my next vehicle but I heard the 2022 + is the way to go due to gearbox issues on earlier models.

@CarsWithSteve 6 месяцев назад

The old sport was great, you're losing out on the hand shifter with the newer model but the tech and performance make up for it. Not sure how much of a rush you're in but the Explorer is getting a complete redesign for the 2025 model so it might be worth looking at, assuming Ford is keeping the ST!

@michaelbell75 Год назад

Great video. I would have got one of these if I didnt find a fully loaded 2020 Edge ST with only 9k miles I was able to get for $36k. Fully loaded Explorer ST for $58k is a steal considering the Durango SRT STARTS at $70k.

@Cornbread-gi6kt Год назад

@@CarsWithSteve well, interestingly most domestic brands have relatively ‘narrow’ width tires. For example, the Mustang GT with over 400hp has 255 tires!? Stock. Why not 265 and up for such a high performance automobile? The last years model Ford Explorer ST had stock 255 tires!? The thing is to heavy and performance to high for such narrow tires like those. When I had my Ford Taurus SHO it came stoke standard with 245’s and optional 255’s. I switched them up with aftermarket 275’s and had a ball.
