2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 75th Anniversary Edition. Needed something with more room and comfort. The ST is a nice complement to the 2018 Mustang GT.

2007 SS Trailblazer. 175,000 miles. Hated to let it go, but it was costing me more than a new car.
One of my top cars I wanted when I was younger. Such a sleeper.

It was a great vehicle, I hated to let it go, but the economics didn't work. It cost more to keep it running than it was worth. So I decided to make a change. GM no longer makes a high performance mid size suv. Now that I have the ST and the benefit of modern technology, I'm hooked. This is the first new ford I've ever owned, so I'm hoping it continues to make me happy. After 300 miles, the honeymoon is still very exciting. Thanks.

The ST replaced a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. Loved that car for 9 years, but time to move on. The Cad' was rated with 556 HP. Now I'll have to make due with only 400 HP. This is my fourth Explorer (one was a Lincoln Aviator).

Wow another one of my favorite cars. So rare to see them.

Well mine is being ordered so I won't have it until late March/early April by best estimates, but at that time it will replace a 2009 Pontiac G8 that I've owned since 2011.

That must have been a big adjustment. I love the rumble of the C63's V8
love the crackle of the exhaust, wish the ST had something similar :/

its a huge difference, but pleasantly surprised by the ST's handling so far.

2016 X5. It had better handling and overall fit and finish, but the ST engine and increased room makes up for it. If they could quickly eliminate the bugs and turtle speed of the 10” screen...

I agree with that. The screen is a nice size but would love for it to be responsive and able to customize.

Mine didn't replace anything... needed something with more room for long trips and very young grandkids. They don't fit well in the Z06, RS5, or the Ram Quad Cab.

My Explorer St replaced my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee special edition with 278.000 Miles , passed on to the kid. Get this ladies and gentlemen it was the little lady that talked me into it, I was looking to Maybe by an F-150. I was a little upset because it's not what I wanted and I didn't test drive it. Picked it up from a dealership from their Northern Canada in a snowstorm and I loved it. END of story.

2018 Ford Explorer Sport. I absolutely hated it coming from an SHO.

What are your thoughts on the interior finish and overall quality of the ST versus the Q7? I’m coming from a 09 A4, and already seeing areas where panels don’t quite match up.

Curious to your thoughts on the Atlas compared to the ST. Obviously more power, but anything you miss from the Atlas?
No. My wife drove the Atlas and she did not like it. So I gave her my 16 F150 Platinum and I got the ST. The only thing is the Atlas had more room but really didn't use all that room.
