Happy Thanksgiving Tim, I think that you are correct that the ST rides a bit stiff and is set up more for performance handling. A buddy at work has one and I thought the same thing but then I had a Limited package as a rental on vacation and it rode fantastic. Overall…I really enjoyed the Explorer and thought to myself that I wouldn’t mind owning one. Thanks for the awesome content as always.
I have a 2025 ST and I’d recommend it if you want a sporty driving three row SUV with modern tech. I also have BlueCruise in mine which is a game changer for me because I put 20K+ miles on my vehicles per year.
Purchased one. Excellent quality. Factory sets tires at 46 - 47 psi. Lowered them to 33 psi immediate difference.

I think it's the suspension bushings that are stiff. Happy Thanksgiving Tim.
Great video, just curious did you try out the massage seats? I believe they are standard on the 2025 ST models.
They should’ve added noise cancellation for the cabin. Too noisy on the road.
Have a nice Thanksgiving Tim!
I'm in the market for one. Would you recommend it?
Yes.

Any word on when the f150 will get the Android automotive software that is in that Explorer?
I haven’t heard.
My 2021 f150 has android auto. Did they change something recently?
Hi Tim
Own one, it’s the tires. Replace tires and throw in about $1500 in more and that ST will run under 13 seconds in the quarter mile.
Im sure they fixed ALL the electrical gremlins...... Xd
looks like you got fog lights also
Looked at a 2023. Not terribly impressed. Power train, like many, is too noisy, and too much road noise intrusion in the cabin.
Where is the blood from your hunting success. Or did you have a buddy with a pickup?
Biggest problem with it is that it's a Ford
Sorry to hear that you’ve had a bad experience with the brand. I’ve had multiple Ford vehicles with no serious issues.
