'23 Expl. ST and '24 'Stang GT Prem., Rapid Red

...to which some of U could say 'U were gone'?

Sold my '23 ST last year for another Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and this week traded the Cayenne on a '25 Explorer ST.. I've now had FOUR Exp. STs this decade, the 1st a silver 2020, the 2nd an Atlas Blue 2022, and the 3rd (2023) and 4th Rapid Red.. Still had this set of aftermarket wheels and tires (and WAY TOO MANY more) in the backyard, got them washed, and had them pressure-sensor-switched, balanced, and installed.. Haven't yet located the Ford centercaps, but I'll get there.. Have ordered another set of Eibach lowering springs, so it'll look better soon.. Two differences between this'n and the '23 are (1) this '25 has the 14-speaker system and sounds better than the earlier one, and (2) this '25 has not only adaptive cruise control but also the semihands-free Blue Cruise system.. I don't yet know if I love or HATE the BC system, but I know I HATE the adaptive portion of the cruise control.. Oh well...

I did not like the '25ST a first, that one looks really nice, starting to think about trading my '23 in. I want a Bench seat (factory installed).
