Thanks Dave, Sam deserves your thumbs up! He's come a long way since his first car reviews, now posting 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times too.
The forum dopes who
Sam have only proven their ignorance. Good thing is, it seems I've already blocked them so I don't have to see which dopes they are. Lol

Sam's vid needs a second look ...
The ST costs between $12k-$16k less, yet remains the performance leader:
2024 Explorer ST 4WD ...... $52,105 US ... 5.3 sec ... 13.9 sec
2024 Acura MDX Type-S ...... $68,450 US ... 5.5 sec ... 14.1 sec
2024 Genesis GV80 ............. $64,850 US ... 5.4 sec ... 14.2 sec
Factor in the FP tune (~$1,000 US parts/installation) against other cars that still have a warranty, and the 430 hp ST's competitors fade in the distance:
(my Dragy results)
2024 Explorer ST 4WD .................... $52,105 US ... 5.3 sec ... 13.9 sec
2024 Explorer ST 4WD FP Tune ... $53,105 US .. 4.7 sec ... 13.1 sec
2024 Acura MDX Type-S .................. $68,450 US ... 5.5 sec ... 14.1 sec
2024 Genesis GV80 ......................... $64,850 US ... 5.4 sec ... 14.2 sec
The stock ST is the clear winner in performance/price. Compared to vehicles with a factory warranty, the FP tuned ST dominates the field, it has no competition.
note: Sam's vid has generated 127k views, the most popular vid he's had in 4 months. People (happily unknown to me) that thumbs down a popular ST vid on an ST forum should recieve attention by a forum mod for their mindless irrational behavior. C'mon mods, this is an ST forum ...
