NEW Ford Explorer ST.

[Marko]

AWD $58.5k

I Love it. Especially in Black. Looks like a Cop SUV.

 

[The Beast]

That’s pocket change for you.

It is pocket change but not for vehicle

 

[Marko]

I know what u mean.

That's fantastic.

Don’t have sound, did they explain why no E85?

Fuel system cant handle it like every ecoboost car.

 

[Rent Free]

450whp/520wtq! Sweet geezus.

Good up to E30. E40 they ran out of fuel pressure/pump and ran out of injector.

 

[FESTER665]

Im curious to see if they get a big enough injector and pump in there if they can do a tune on e85.

I keep saying a Trackhawk would be the perfect SUV for me, but an Explorer ST might be close if a tune on e85 is possible and gets close to 500whp with a few bolt ons and a tune.

 

[BS ISF]

Palm Beech Dyno already ran a 12.90 with tune only.

 

[ChrisRac]

I'm intrigued. It would also look much better without the Ford logo in the grill. I prefer the clean look

 

[RICH17]

Grill looks like a mustache on the sides.

 

[Blood on Blood]

BOOM

Spent some time in an Explorer ST last week and was damn impressed. The Edge ST is too soft and really just an Edge with a 2.7 EB, while the Explorer ST feels like a ground-up performance SUV. Super responsive, light on its feet - all-around goodness. Except for being small on the inside, but that's just inherent in the new platform. And the new brakes are odd - I wasn't able to confirm, but the electromechanical brake booster tuning needs work, as it feels like a game simulator brake pedal with initial softness before rock hard braking.

 

[01Cobra]

See how the driveline holds up.

 

[Marko]

Badass SUV for sure. I’d like to get one in a couple or 3 years.

 

[FESTER665]

I'm really liking where this is headed.... Lets see how much the aftermarket supports it...

 

[Yaj Yak]

in person these look fantastic.

The intercepter versions are the fastest police cars yet (fleet not one off random shit)

How was the interior? I've read a couple of reviews on the new Explorer and the reviewers seem to knock the interior quality (and brake/steering feel).

It's too bad I did't feel like spending almost double what I did on the Tiguan. Though I can't imagine having a $1k+ car note...I've never bought anything that expensive. I'd love to talk my wife into upgrading to a gently used ST in a few years.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Wish we didn't need more space for the family or we'd be trading our Sport in for one of these in a heartbeat! I saw a blue ST with the black wheels and red calipers...looked friggen awesome!!

Will be driving a Platinum next week so will report back. Only took a quick spin in an ST.

Reading through the report now...it beat the Hemi Charger around the road course too
