    Thanks. - I have a very low tolerance for rattles and squeaks. I will rethink

    Wheels and Tires

    Thanks very much. This is helpful. As it turns out, the paved roads here are quite good. I moved from the northeast and know what you are talking about. For the most part the stiffer suspension for 99% of the driving I do should be a plus. It is on the dirt roads that the rattle and squeaks...

    Wheels and Tires

    I watched as much as I could. Not a real test (though the ST did better than I thought it would). It think the video was more about abuse of the vehicle than actual testing.

We have lots of winds around here and the Outback used to get blown all over the highway. I hope an ST would...

    Introduction - thinking about an ST

    I have been thinking of an Explorer ST on an off since I first saw and drove one more than a year ago. No one car can do it all and this is a bit larger than I have been thinking about which is good news/bad news. I have some questions that I will post as separate threads.
