What It's Like To Own A Ford Explorer ST! 

Great review and questions! Refreshing perspective and love the candor dialogue.

Updated software fixed the lag

I recently purchased a Ford Explore ST love it.

You can turn on the rpm meter in any mode. Is just a selection in this touchscreen

Good review man!

Very informative - thank you guys.

If you close your eyes sounds like Seth Rogan

Picked up one today it’s great

I have been reviewing and reviewing for a while and keep coming back to the Ford Explorer ST because of the power to weight ratio and the rear wheel drive. I know the ST is a 4 wheel drive but I like the fact that it's a rear wheel drive with added front wheel drive, and not a front wheel drive with added rear wheel drive. The engine is mounted along the frame, not across the frame. I'm also looking at the Genesis GV80 (high end Hyundai, rear wheel drive, twin turbo 3.5 liter V6 with 375 HP) also the Chevy Tahoe high country and the GMC Yukon Denali (both with the 6.2 Liter donks). But the Tahoe and Yukon are much more expensive and don't have as good a power to weight ratio as the Explorer. I have looked at the Durango SRT, and do like the idea of a big V8, but it's much heavier than the Explorer and is a gas guzzler.

Love it....grand slam HR by Ford....going back to RWD shows how serious Ford is to delivering a great product.

Finally someone with quality wheel taste

I love my 23" now that we figured out what that annoying clunk was coming from the front end. It took two trips to the dealership and a loaner car, but I got it back and while they were removing the right front strut for replacement they noticed the upper bearing had separated. So they installed a new RF strut, upper bearing, strut mount, and did an alignment. Reading through the invoice it says “Found SSM 52405 for front strut noise and vehicle falls within build date of SSM criteria" So Ford is aware of this issue somewhere along the line. I know a lot of folks are experiencing this same issue and no one seemed to have a solution I could find. Except that the dealerships were telling them it was normal. DON'T buy that crap if yours is making what sounds like a strut or ball joint noise from the front end!! This SUV runs like a bat out of hell, especially in sport mode. It has a stiff ride and handles like a go cart instead of a 4600lb SUV.

this ford is drop dead gorgeous and i will own one soon

Cool video somehow I missed it when it dropped the ST ain’t perfect but for the price can’t really beat it

great job did i miss the performance figures?

Base infotainment screen is still nicer than the optional units some manufacturers offer..

Hahaha. He said what I am thinking 💭 now. My F-150 does not fit in the garage. Looking for the ST 2021

I like it but still meh. He’s right about the 6 cylinder Jeep GC an anemic amount of torque for the transmission and weight! I’ve had it before and went to a hemi then SRT ...

Is it comfortable in the bad streets? Is it worth its price

I thought that iPad screen would be intrusive but believe me it’s not you don’t even notice it’s there when you’re driving. The thing I don’t like about it is lacks the icon to bring up your climate control on the screen you have to do everything with the manual buttons below it!

Also the same in my Jag XF.

This vehicle is badass

If this guy likes chrome, he should consider the 2015 Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition

Bro v6 twin turbo this SUV can make power bro hope to see someone modified one in the future

Wow it’s good to know that tall IPad is not standard.

Exterior looks nice, but the front interior looks very bland to me...minimalist even and I don't think I'd list the Ram, Volvo or Tesla as one of those SUV's with an odd iPad/random tablet placement. Theirs all look rather nicely integrated into their dashboards, to include the larger screen optioned versions, in comparison.

Its engine sound playing through the speakers.. CAR GUY... SMART

Shout out to all the U725 team. In which commodity you guys worked?

Eddie, can you do a series about what's it like to work in the automotive industry? I'd love to know what the engineers lives are like.

That’s the one thing that I absolutely do not like about all these new cars is that rotary dial I hate that thing they even put it in the GT 500, What were they thinking there

Ford knocked it out of the park with exterior design. new front end looks great. better than RR.

Tell Justin this is a beautiful car. I'm getting the same one soon!

Pretty sure Dodge will be coming out with an all new Durango for 2021 maybe even a hellcat version.

I’m with Justin, I don’t like the implementation of the vertical screen or the black wheels option. I’m a Pilot owner and I’ll be looking to replace it next year after 4 years of ownership. The ST is definitely on my short list... :-D

Did everyone forget about the Jeep Grand Cherokee srt or trackhawk?

I’ve never seen one with a tiny center screen. I thought they only came with the giant iPad screen. From what I can tell the large center screen is an upgrade. The option almost everybody goes with, and it comes with the B&O sound system, but this guy has a B&O sound system with the tiny screen I don’t get it. I just found out that the 22 and 23 model year has all wheel drive as an option it was standard for 2021 and 2020.

I agree that cluster is horrible.

I got the street/track pack with the 21 inch wheels that is awesome I also have the premium interior which I would never of gotten without it

That’s what annoys me about Ford (and GM, Chrysler)... they released that vehicle with a seriously underperforming digital cluster. Someone signed off on it as being ok. Geezus, I actually had this vehicle on my list to look at. Not now. Not at that price point. I could get an entry level German suv with a better performing system. Unreal..

Did he use A plan on it?

Did he even floor it ?

Does the 3.0L Turbo have Dual Injection, or carbon building, problematic Direct Injection. Does anybody know?

I've seen like 50 already, and it just came out

Justin spends a lot of money on cars. 55k base price. I'm sure the employee discount gets the price with a 4 in front, but it's still an awfully big payment.

Gets better MPG compared to the Durango ! That’s why I got the ST . and it’s quicker >>>>

I wonder if there's an optional SVT stage 1 & 2 performance package available? Imagine a stage 2 with closer to 500 hp! [laughs in Nano Nano] Up next, the Explorer GT8, with the 5.2 litre Voodoo V8! [laughs in Trackhawk]

Eddie pls do a Huracan review :)))))

He said he has all the bells and whistles but he’s missing the bigger touchscreen, optional sound system, as well as the ST street pack with upgraded rims and brake calipers 🥴

their is a reason police departments are picking that SUV.... that thing can MOVE!! straight up the explorer st is faster than 95% of SUVS on the roadway and even faster than most cars!!! I have the fusion sport which also has a twin turbo v6 ecoboost and all wheel drive standard and my gosh it will eat up a 330 horsepower v6 for breakfast even against a lighter camaro or mustang cause that TORQUE.. I understand now why ford didnt put the 2.7 v6 ecoboost in the mustang... it would munch up the 5.0 lol in a light coupe

Latest this is by far one of the worst features the 2022ST has I was merging lanes and it wouldn’t let me merge turn signal and everything terrible but overall a really fun suv

*Works at Ford* Wears Corvette shirt 😂

Durango and Grand Cherokee SRT?

Who is driving that car???

Perfect mom car no thanks , grocery, school, home that’s about it

The ST has all the options one could want. But the materials are meh. Hard plastics abound. It "feels" cheap but the sticker price suggests otherwise. Fast, yes. Fun, sure. But worth nearly $60K? Nope.

The suspension wheel combination must be very stiff. I could hear it hit hard over every bump in the road. That would drive me nuts.

Excellent job ford motor company on the new design!👍👌👏🦏🎭♎♑A+♣

Deserving of the ST badge my ass...

its like being a policer officer

Got my 2002 mercury mountaineer to hit 60 faster than the st. Beat one in a race the other day 1/8 basically

I don’t like the big screen it seams like an after thought and sticks way up

durango srt vs this? I'll take the durango

the afterthought is always in the American Vehicles/products because they are in a rush to make money then presenting something that well made and is practical !! I don't know how they get away with it and why business behavior aren't changing ?! they get paid a lot of money regarding design and they ask for a lot of money when buying their cars !! and yet they make very poor and strange design..

nice vehicle however would never get the stupid panoramic sun roof

Strange design change...The Way how the front is bigger and the whole vehicle goes smaller towards back, the no longer smooth interior and pad screen sticking up so much, fake exhaust tips and sound...Older Explorer felt more substantial, Rear wheel biased however is amazing change

I've got an idea since you're employed by Ford. Explain to all of your enthusiasts why your company decided that only the wealthy should get to enjoy the ST line of vehicles in North America. The rest of the world gets to enjoy the new Focus and Fiesta, but instead we're left with vehicles that are double the price. Its insulting...

58k? 😬

"I have ALL the bells and whistles"... Ummm... no you don't.

What It's Like To Pretend To Be A Cop!

“okay”....

Why didn’t anyone bash Audi? Their screens all stick up

Bro the Durango SRT has 475 HP. The ST only has 400...

Eddie, I have hard time hearing you speaking

58K for a Explorer!! No thank you.

58 grand? :o

Would never buy one the explorer no matter what styling it shows it still screams cop car.

400hp for a explorer at?? This makes me mad as a 2019 mustang gt owner. 460, only 60hp away, why??? Lol.

Dude.. STOP interrupting the guy!! 🤦‍♂️

You'd have to be a fool to buy one of these.

The worst part of driving Explorer is that its used by cops.

Did he say 58 or 38,000.... has to be 38,000... can’t be 58,000 😳🙄.

What it's like to be in debt!

Grand Cherokee Trailhawk,5.7 hemi,nuff said

When people begin EVERY sentence with "So," I just want to bludgeon them.

Be ready for a timing chain replacement at 50k miles , luuuul.

I think this is a nice vehicle but it’s overpriced......

Yeah but he did by Corvette so oo.lmfaob maybe you should have bought a new blazer made in Mexico.js

What It's Like To Own A Ford Explorer ST? Mistaken as a cop car.

NO one should buy a v6? Dummy you bought a v6. Twice.

Such a good looking truck on the outside but I think its a literal CRIME to pay MSRP for this. I know everybody and their mother is gonna say Telluride or Palisade but when they're $20K cheaper, do everything you need it to do and youre still not gonna get it. You kinda have to ask yourself, "am I retarded, or am I retarded?" (Again, ONLY if paying MSRP for these)

First

58 grand?! What a ripoff.

A Corvette isn't slow, a lot better then that shitbox R8 and i8 you had..

Could have saved yourself over $15,000 and bought the Hyundai Palisade.

You own it it’s yours? You don’t know then re title these videos Eddie

Its POS. For that money id get a proper Toyota Trd Pro. Oh wait, i did.

More Ford junk,no surprise.

Please get glasses that fit you these are bent to hell and too small its obnoxious ffs

Over priced Ford junk

it sucks
