Kurt's 500 HP Ford Explorer ST might be on it's way to earning the title of ultimate SUV troll. Under the hood is a lightly tuned 3.0L Ecoboost twin turbo V6, sending torque to all four wheels through a modified 10-speed transmission. I've been told the goal with this is to eventually leave a Durango Hellcat in the dust at the drag strip, but even with launch control and a splash of ethanol that may be a tall order. Either way, I'd love to see that.

Hope you guys enjoy the detour! As some of you have mentioned, yes, the 3.0L ecoboost wasn't pulled from the Raptor, it is simply shared with. The Explorer and Raptor both took it from the Lincoln Continental originally. Hope this clears it up! Sorry for the miscommunication.

My mom has a 2013 Explorer Sport that she got brand new. Growing up I LOVED driving it. At the time it was the fastest car I had ever driven until I got my 05 WRX. It could keep up with my WRX (which was far from stock). She still has the Explorer to this day. 145,000 miles and not a single problem with it. 💪🏼

When I moved away my mom and I swapped cars for the past 2 years, and when I asked my dad if he could keep a look out for some cheap cars back where he lived (car I was driving was registered and insured by my mom) my dad just offered me the title to the explorer. Very glad to have it back, it’s about to hit 210k miles

@RoadsUntraveled Год назад

True true. What I should've said is "shared with" the Bronco Raptor to make that more clear. Because that vehicle is a bit more mainstream and well-known in the enthusiast community, figured more people would recognize that vehicle. Actually, what I should've said is the Bronco Raptor got the 3.0L Ecoboost from the Explorer, which got it from the 2017 Lincoln Continental.

Love my 2021 Explorer ST. Never would have thought I would have owned one, until I drove it...then later tuned it. It is truly a beast. My concern, after two years of ownership, are the electronic gremlins (rear camera, side sensors, intelli-cruise faults, blue-tooth disconnects, power window auto up/down) that are randomly popping up. Additionally, I've had to replace one front half-shaft and already broke the rear bolt holding the rear diff to the subframe (mine has one bolt). While Ford replaced it under warranty (with a one bolt unit), I'm not sure it will hold up as this is my experience at 42k miles.

@not_a_samsquamsh6777 7 месяцев назад

I have a 2017 mkz with the 3.0. It's been very good for me over the last 3 years I've had it. Though I just learned last week the 2018 and newer 2.7's (and therefore I presume 3.0's as well) switched from a chain for the oil pump to a nylon/kevlar belt that's still submersed in oil. That in itself was a hell no for me on any of these newer engines

@ytTonyZ Год назад

I have installed a Ford tune, a Steeda intercooler, and a Steeda rear sway bar on my ST. This protects my warranty for the time being. Had a fun day at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the Roval with the Ford Racing School Mustangs and it occurred to me how much fun a Mustang would be with an ST drivetrain. AWD would create a Mustang that one could drive most of the winter, here in Michigan, rather than a fair weather friend. I don’t expect a $60,000 ST to be faster than a smaller $90,000 Trackhawk. I actually take trips in mine with the wife, dogs, and gear, with reasonable gas mileage. Cheers, Tony

If you're a gearhead and want to build a monster HP machine R/T.

Too few people seem to understand this comparison. A dyno matchup was done between this exact vehicle (if I’m mistaken please correct me) and a Durango Hellcat. The Hellcat made 600ish whp and the ST made 530ish whp on the same dyno/same day. Given the weight difference there is a pretty good chance of the ST putting up one hell of a fight and anyone who doesn’t know how to launch the Durango Hellcat could end up losing here.

Cross shopped ST and Durango Hellcat finally deciding on ST with intent to do bolt-on mods unlike complete engine build of hemi (learned my lesson for daily driver). ST order kept being delayed. Found a Durango Hellcat in-stock at price with options I wanted. Cancelled ST order and bought Durango Hellcat. Not looking back. The hellcat motor is just raw and with some bolt-on mods the ST will never come close (if you mod the ST then mod the hellcat to be fair). Just don't track fuel consumption because it sucks. Better than Ram with 426 but still a pig. Then again we don't buy these for the fuel mileage.

The DRT with a naturally aspirated V8 will be the better SUV to own long term, no doubt..... That EB will not get significant better mpgs vs the 5.7 with real world driving (turbos are thirsty and you've now got the addl AWD weight / drag garbage over the RT)... Keep in mind also you're looking at premium vs regular in the RT V8, that will affect you more negatively in fuel costs vs the stated mpg of the ST... Just my 2 cents... I briefly looked at the ST as I had hoped they stuffed a 5.0 in them. Once I saw that EB, nope went straight for the DRT RT.

Ecoboost engines are actually quite beefy in the reliability department. You're always going to hear about those horror stories with any vehicle/engine. Considering the fact that ford's prob made 5 million plus Ecoboost engines, and the overwhelming majority of them have been rock solid reliable, that's pretty impressive.

To leave the Hellcat in the dust, you'd have to somehow prevent the 10sp auto from puking its gears. Good luck!

I have an Edge ST, and yes it does. It a fantastic two roll SUV

@Brutalford Год назад

The edge st has the 2.7 which the 3.0 is based off of...only difference is that it's based on front drive system

I'm a little confused, as you said in the beginning of the video you said you listed them in order of lowest to highest trim level with platinum being the highest but the ST is more expensive so why would that not be the highest trim? 🤔 just curious as I'm in the process of doing my research for my next car.

The most badass family garage would be to have one of these and a CT5 Blackwing.

Basically the cops are getting a sneaky stealthy tuner car. Racers be warned.

I recently sold my 2020 Explorer ST. I'd buy another one when Ford works on their transmission reliability issues (problems at less than 10000 miles) and gets rid of Sync 3.

@dirtyfingersgarage Год назад

That's a great Explorer. What's his 1/4 mile times???

@JustinSpiguzza-sv8ur Год назад

You mean the 3.0 from the Explorer ST went in to the Ford Bronco Raptor as the Explorer ST and 2 other Explorer trims with the 3.0 were first.

I'd hate to do a tune up on it, if it's pushed so far back, no thank you 😭

Hey, 26mpg on the hwy at 60mph ain't bad... Atleast that's what I get in mine. But that's the prairies.

@tcr2237 Год назад

@@pandaeyes465 nice, i meant one of the reasons he bought the ST over the Durango was the fuel economy, then he added a tune, larger fuel injectors, etc. I’m sure he still gets better MPG but they got to be close. How you liking the ST? Everyone I talk to say they love it.any issues?

To be fair Hellcats are made to be destroyed by anything not called Hellcat..they are just high horsepower RWD traction less monsters, all bark with little nibbles. But a fast Explorer is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
