Well traded in the 2016 GMC Yukon SLT Premium (Denali minus the engine) on a 2021 Explorer ST. The Rapid Red wasn't my first choice but its growing on me. I got a good trade in value for my vehicle and purchased this 2021 Explorer ST with 3,145 mi. on it. The previous owner bought it Dec. 28, 2020 and traded it in for a 2021 Bronco Sport in March. I already added Weather Tech mats throughout, Weather Tech mud flaps and have a Canvasback on order for the cargo area. I would recommend the canvasback to anyone with an SUV for the cargo area. It keeps everything pristine and it cleans up in a snap. I've bought one for every SUV that I've owned. I also have the Gorilla Automotive Black locking lug nut set on order. I'm glad to be part of the Explorer ST club. Here are pictures taken yesterday after hand washing and drying it. A little too cold too wax (43 degrees and windy). The ST's new home is in Southern, NH.

I have had 4 Explorers since 2014. Two sports, including a 2017 that I still have and love driving. Last December found the 2021 Explorer ST in the color optioned the exact way I would have ordered it on the lot. Drove it and took it home. Been sitting in my garage since, except for a little over 1,000 mils putting around. Hoping to soon install a Steeda lowering springs and sway bar.
Glad to be part of this group.

I apologize for posting my introduction on your post. I am very technically challenged and should not be allowed near a computer.
On another note, I used to live in Nashua in the mid 70's to 1980. We visit there each fall.

How does the canvas back stay in place? Looks interesting I bought a big rubber mat but can’t use the rear seats if I needed them.

Did you add the cargo management system?

Hello, the canvasback is held in place by Velcro. Once it’s in place, it doesn’t move. It protects the carpet area in the cargo area, as well as the back of the 2nd & 3rd row seats. I‘lol take some pictures of the Explorer as well as the Durango. I wouldn’t go without.

Is it slippery? I like the idea but don’t know if I want things sliding around.

Yes, its somewhat slippery but the protection factor is A1. I use a couple of bins with rubber feet on them to keep groceries in place or smaller type items. I can say this much, the workmanship from Canvasback is top notch.
