Dealer Comments
Enthusiasts who notice the subtle nuances of throttle response, steering feedback, and chassis poise will find the Explorer ST especially compelling. The Onyx interior places controls within easy reach, and the bolstered front bucket seats hold you securely during spirited driving or relaxed cruising. For drivers in Lakeland, FL and similar climates, the combination of heated and ventilated seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a quiet, well-insulated cabin enhances comfort whether you're navigating city streets or stretching out on open highways.
Performance is a defining trait of this SUV. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 delivers crisp acceleration, and the 10-speed automatic transmission responds swiftly to driver input, with manual mode for greater control. Four-wheel independent suspension and speed-sensing steering create a planted, responsive feel on the road, while the sport steering wheel and precise brake pedal inspire confidence. The Explorer ST conveys both agility and stability; steering is direct without being twitchy, and the suspension balances firmness with enough compliance to absorb imperfections, making long drives or quick maneuvers equally rewarding.
Safety systems are seamlessly integrated to support confident driving without dulling the experience. Electronic Stability Control and traction control intervene only when necessary, preserving the natural balance of the chassis. The advanced ABS brakes and emergency brake assist deliver strong, linear stopping power, while lane-keeping systems and Ford BlueCruise add convenience for highway cruising but never override the driver's sense of control. Blind spot monitoring and a rear parking camera increase situational awareness, rounding out a suite that enhances security without detracting from the Explorer ST's driver-focused feel.
The Explorer ST is comprehensively equipped, blending comfort and technology for those who expect more from their vehicle. The Sun and Sound Package brings an immersive audio experience with 10 speakers and SiriusXM with 360L, while the Navigation System keeps you on course. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration enable seamless smartphone connectivity, and the heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats ensure year-round comfort. Rain-sensing wipers, a power liftgate, and Ford Connectivity Package add daily convenience, while the sport steering wheel and memory seat personalize your drive.
In a segment crowded with capable contenders, the Explorer ST distinguishes itself with its rewarding driving dynamics and advanced features. Compared to the Dodge Durango R/T and Chevrolet Traverse RS, this SUV offers a more refined blend of performance, confidence, and comfort.
How composed does it feel on the highway? The Explorer ST remains stable and planted at speed, with minimal wind and road noise. Is the ride comfortable for long distances? Yes, the suspension absorbs imperfections without losing responsiveness, and supportive seats reduce fatigue.
