    The ST trim positions this Explorer as a performance-focused family hauler. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with 10-speed automatic transmission paired with 4WD provides the power and traction control you need, whether navigating city streets or venturing onto varied terrain. With 18 city and 25 highway MPG, you'll enjoy reasonable efficiency for a vehicle of this capability and size.

    Inside, the cabin prioritizes your comfort and connection. The heated and ventilated captain's chairs with multicontour seating and front active motion technology adjust to support your body during long drives. The leather steering wheel, available heated for those cold mornings, puts premium materials within reach. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps front passengers comfortable while rear air conditioning extends that control to the second and third rows.

    Entertainment and connectivity are seamlessly integrated. The B&O Sound System elevates your audio experience with 10 speakers delivering rich, balanced sound. SiriusXM with 360L provides satellite radio access, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure your smartphone integrates naturally with the navigation system. The heated steering wheel and comprehensive lighting packageâ€"including auto high-beam headlights, fog lights, and delay-off functionalityâ€"enhance both comfort and visibility.

    Safety is thoroughly addressed with dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags positioned throughout the cabin. Four-wheel disc ABS brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel independent suspension provide the mechanical foundation for secure handling. Speed-sensing steering and front and rear anti-roll bars fine-tune the driving dynamics.

    The exterior speaks to capability and style. The 21" magnetite-painted aluminum wheels command attention while the body-color bumpers and sport spoiler reinforce the ST's purposeful character. The power liftgate, panoramic glass roof with power shade, and exterior rear parking camera add practical touches that make daily use easier.

      Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise.

      I love the suv its fantastic to drive only issue I have is the wind noise in the driver seat but I'd sleep in it every night the seats are comfortable.
