Just stay away from the rust belt because there's a reason you don't see older ford SUV's up north when they sold like a billion explorer's in the late 90s early 00's. Although I think it's just a Ford problem with all the cars they sell.

Our final two were between the 2021 explorer ST and the 2021 Hyundai palisade, both with all options. At the time the palisade was five grand less and offered better technology on the interior. I really wanted the ST, but no heads up display on a 55K car? Sometimes I think about the extra hundred horsepower I could have had.

I used to be a ford tech and in class the teacher said ford engineers squeezed out 700hp out of the 3.5 before the turbos blew, that was in 2011 lol crazy to see them pushing these numbers on stock block reliably

About time ya got this vehicle to review! Been watchin this guy (because of my Edge Sport (ST)) for a while on Insta

Amazing these Explorer STs. Ppl rave bout em & love em!

Sounds like a cool sleeper and a good daily driver still. I know I loved. I had a 2014 Ford escape all-wheel drive with the 2 l and you could actually fit a lot of the parts from the focus ST on it and I was able to put a lot of their bolt-ons on mine and get it tuned and it was super fun and I never got it to a track but I'm pretty sure I was ripping about 14 second quarter miles in it and that felt crazy, fast and fun and it was still super practical

Hey dude in blue! Keep up your hard work. I appreciate you.

Great video, I'm working on the little brother Edge ST. With bolt-ons, I should get to about 500-525 HP. Now that is the biggest sleeper. The best part of my 2020 with 50K miles on I just picked up a window stickered for over $50K and I bought it for under $25K ..I think that would be a great follow up video ...

Your cars are awsome keep up the work 🎉

I love the menacing all black look of it.

Had an xlt for a while and man listen i loved it

This thing on a set of 19 inch VOLK ZE40’s and 50 side wall sticky tires, Mach 1 mustang brembos brakes, good set of coilovers, beefy rear sway bar and a open dump wastegate would be so killer.

I love the ST models. Stay away from the “ST Line” as that’s more of just a trim package without the bigger high performance motor. I’ve had the Ford Edge ST and the fusion sport both with the 2.7l tt ecoboost and they scoot. Now I just cruise in my new f150 3.5l ecoboost. Big ford fan since my father converted me.

There is, but not like the 3.0. 500 WHP+ should be attainable and safe-ish

I wonder what the longevity of that motor will be if it doesn't have built internals like the lower end? I had a 2017 Focus ST with a big turbo was pushing over 400 wheel. The engine handle that well I had it on that power level for well over 70,000 mi. It was the clutch and the gearbox that was the weak point I should have beef those up unfortunately the car ended up getting rear-ended and totaled I miss my little ST

I had blue one pull up near me the other day. I thought it was the boys 😂.

If you would like, would you be interested in looking at my Kia stinger? Currently its making 500ish. but plans in the next couple months to go to a big single turbo and trying to make 7-750. Though im in Oregon.

It's crazy how this almost in some sick way feels expected. Modern cars are insane 😂

Quite the subtle but rapid sleeper...I noticed it didn't have the red brake calipers, so therefore it doesn't have the factory optional brake upgrade package. An even better sleeper would be these upgrades done to a Lincoln Aviator !!

I agree with the brakes it’s something I’ve experienced on the gmc Yukon xl with the 6.2 I know on these at least you’ve got the “new” 4 piston front calipers but it really needs a 6 piston once you get going and really need to slow down 😂. I wonder if some s550 6 pistons could be retrofitted to these st’s if so that would be the complete package and I may just have to go snag one up. It’s between this and the new trd sequoia for me though not even the same class but I just need a dad car and I want something I can still play with

I never got why Ford USA did not release the latest gen ST of the Fiesta and Focus. Living in Belgium, I had the Fiesta ST200, it was a 3door (not so)limited edition for the final year of that generation. It was a modified 1.6L 4cyl. ecoboostengine wint 215BHP in overboost. and a shorter second gear. Though 0-60 was only slightly better. The powerband was much wider. I traded it in last year for a EUDM MK8.5 Fiesta ST 5 door in Mean Green. 1.5L 3cyl with 200BHP and 320Nm. Much more tech, LSD, 4 driving modes, launch control, etc.. And yes, despite smaller engine size and 1 less cylinder, it's quicker. It would have been perfect for the US market, especially for those who would want something sporty like a GR86 or BRZ, but need 2 extra doors for the practicality.
