Dealer Comments

The 2026 Ford Explorer ST immediately rewards drivers with a sense of confident control, blending athletic chassis tuning and responsive steering that make every commute engaging.

Enthusiasts who crave an SUV that doesn’t sacrifice excitement for utility will appreciate the Explorer ST’s dynamic personality. The cabin, finished in Onyx and complemented by heated, ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel, is tailored for drivers who relish every mile, not just the destination. The available Sun and Sound Package immerses you in your favorite soundtrack, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure seamless connectivity. In the Lakeland, FL region, the Explorer ST's confident handling and composed ride offer a sense of security during sudden downpours or on unpredictable road surfaces, making it as rewarding on daily commutes as it is on longer journeys.

Driving the Explorer ST is defined by its 3.0L EcoBoost V6 and 4WD system, which together deliver a taut, responsive feel from the first press of the accelerator. Throttle response is crisp, launching the SUV with enthusiasm, while the 10-speed automatic transmission offers quick, nearly imperceptible shifts that keep power delivery consistent and refined. The suspension tuning strikes a careful balance—firm enough to communicate road texture and enhance cornering confidence, yet supple enough to absorb rough pavement. Variable steering effort adapts to your speed, feeling light in tight spaces but gaining reassuring heft at highway velocities. Braking is progressive and inspires confidence, allowing precise control in stop-and-go traffic or spirited driving alike.

Safety technology in the Explorer ST enhances driver confidence without diluting engagement. Electronic Stability Control remains unobtrusive, stepping in only when necessary to maintain composure during sudden maneuvers or wet conditions. The suite includes ABS brakes and traction control systems that support assertive driving, while features like the rear-view camera and rain-sensing wipers keep visibility clear and allow the driver to focus on the road ahead. Advanced driver aids like BlueCruise and lane-keeping assist are tuned to complement, not replace, the driver’s inputs—offering a helping hand on long highway stretches and reducing fatigue without muting the tactile connection between driver and machine.

A wealth of features underlines the Explorer ST’s dual focus on driving pleasure and everyday usability. Equipment Group 400A Standard Package brings conveniences like a memory seat, power driver and passenger seats, and three-zone automatic climate control. The Sun and Sound Package enhances both ambience and entertainment, while navigation and SiriusXM with 360L keep you informed and entertained.

Against competitors like the Dodge Durango R/T and Chevrolet Traverse RS, the Explorer ST stands out for its communicative steering, sharp throttle response, and its unique balance of agility and comfort.

Is the Explorer ST comfortable on long drives? Absolutely—the suspension tuning and multi-zone climate control ensure fatigue-free hours behind the wheel. Does it have selectable drive modes? While not explicitly listed, the combination of advanced traction and stability controls helps tailor the experience to changing road conditions.
